Site 12: Cape Flattery BatterySite History and Background
This site, which is approximately 0.5 mile northwest of Waatch Point along the coast, includes two abandoned concrete bunkers and a gravel access road. The U.S. Army started constructing this coastal defense system in the early 1940s but abandoned the project in 1943 before construction was complete (Marsh, 1996). The larger of the two concrete bunkers was one of the fire control observation sites, and the smaller bunker was the proposed Meteorological Station (USACE, 1945). The larger bunker was built at the edge of the ocean cliff. The smaller one is about 100 feet to the east. The facility is listed as FUDS property #F10WA0584 (USACE, 2002). Activities to Date
The Makah Environmental Restoration Team performed site inspections in October 2000 and in November 2004. To date, no environmental concerns or physical hazards have been identified at the site. Pending review of the available information, a recommendation of No Further Action is being considered for this site. Planned ActivitiesThe Tribe considers this site a lower priority (Priority C). The following activity is planned for 2006 to 2007:
Site Inspection and No Further Action Determination: The site will be visited and examined to verify whether the site merits issuing a No Further Action determination, or whether there are environmental conditions or hazards that need to be addressed by the Makah Environmental Program.
