DISCLAIMER 
 
 
The purpose of this archives search report is to present the findings of research undertaken for 
this specific Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS) property.  All of the factual information 
found during the research is included in this “Findings” volume.  Reference may be made in 
this volume to a separate “Conclusions and Recommendations” volume.  In some instances, the 
Conclusions and Recommendations (C&R) volume contained recommendations of individuals 
performing the analysis that may contain inferences or conjecture not supported in subsequent 
reviews.  Because these statements are not always factual in nature, the U.S. Army Corps of 
Engineers has determined the Conclusions and Recommendations volumes, where they exist, 
do not necessarily represent the opinion of the USACE and are not available for public release.

INTRODUCTION 
 
1.1 
AUTHORITY 
 
In 1986, Congress established the Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP) 
at 10 U.S.C. 2701 et. seq.  This program directed the Secretary of Defense to "carry out a 
program of environmental restoration at facilities under the jurisdiction of the Secretary." 
 
In March 1990, the EPA issued a revised National Contingency Plan.  Under 40 C.F.R. 
300.120, EPA designated DoD to be the removal response authority for incidents 
involving DoD military weapons and munitions under the jurisdiction, custody and 
control of DoD. 
 
Since the beginning of this program, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been the 
agency responsible for environmental restoration at Formerly Used Defense Sites 
(FUDS).  Since 1990, the U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville, has 
been the Center of Expertise (CX) and Design Center for Ordnance and Explosives. 
 
1.2 
SUBJECT 
The Former Fort Segarra is located on Water Island, the fourth largest of the U.S. Virgin 
Islands.  Water Island is a small island approximately 500 acres in size, 1 3/4 miles long, 
and 1/2 mile wide.  It is located in the St. Thomas Bay between the East and West 
Gregerie Channels, south of the City of Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas.  At its closest 
point, Water Island is only 1,800 feet from St. Thomas. 
 
Water Island (Fort Segarra) was acquired in 1942, for use as a harbor defense installation.  
In 1948, following World War II, the San Jose project was moved to the U.S. Virgin 
Islands from Panama.  The purpose of the San Jose project was to test chemical munitions 
to determine their effectiveness under jungle conditions.  The U.S. Department of the 
Interior (DOI), who leases it to others, currently owns Water Island. 
 
1.3 
PURPOSE 
This Archives Search Report (ASR) compiles information obtained through historical 
research at various archives and records holding facilities, interviews with individuals 
associated with the site or its operations, and personal visits to the site.  All efforts were 
directed towards determining types of munitions used at the site, possible disposal areas, 
and any unknown training areas.  Information obtained during this process was used in 
developing recommendations for further actions at the site. 
 
1.4 
SCOPE 
This investigation concentrated on the potential that OE and/or CWM contamination 
could remain on the Former Fort Segarra from the activities occurring during World War 
II and from the chemical munitions testing occurring from March 1948 through March 
1950.  This report presents the history of the site, description and characterization of the

immediate surrounding areas, real estate ownership information, findings of a visual site 
survey, and OE site analysis, including an evaluation of potential ordnance 
contamination.  A separate report supplements this FINDINGS report and furnishes the 
conclusions and recommendations.

OTHER REPORTS 
 
2.2.1 Archives Search Report, The San Jose Project in the U.S. Virgin Islands 
 
A report titled Archives Search Report, The San Jose Project in the U.S. Virgin Islands, 
July 1991, was prepared for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Huntsville Division, by 
Ebasco Environmental, a Division of Ebasco Services, Inc., Huntsville, AL.  This 
archives search was conducted to find and evaluate any available information relative to 
the San Jose Project in the U.S. Virgin Islands which might exist and to determine if the 
sites used by the San Jose Project in the U.S. Virgin Islands are potentially contaminated 
by conventional or special (chemical) ordnance or explosive wastes.

SITE DESCRIPTION 
 
3.1 
LAND USE 
 
3.1.1 Location 
 
The Former Fort Segarra is located in the U.S. Virgin Islands on Water Island, a small 
island approximately 500 acres in size, 1 3/4 miles long, and 1/2 mile wide.  It is located 
in the St. Thomas Bay between the East and West Gregerie Channels, South of the City of 
Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas.  The site location and vicinity are shown on Plates 5 and 6 
of Volume II of this report. 
 
3.1.2 Prior Site Use 
 
Immediately prior to the time of military use, Water Island was essentially uninhabited. 
Historically the island had been used as a stopping point for ocean going sailing ships 
beginning in the 1500s.  In the 1700s several plantations were developed on the island.  
 
3.1.3 Current Site Use 
 
The U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), the U.S. Virgin Island government, and 
various private owners currently own Water Island.  The DOI, which had obtained rights 
to the island in 1950, subsequently leased it to Water Island, Inc. for development as a 
resort area.  A map, developed by DOI, showing the conditions of ownership as of early 
2002 is included in Appendix K. 
 
3.2 
CLIMATIC DATA 
 
The U.S. Virgin Islands are tropical, generally hilly islands, which lie directly in the path 
of the easterly trade winds throughout the year.  The trade winds blow almost without 
exception from the east, but are modified somewhat as they pass inland to a formidable 
barrier of hills, where they are lifted over the top or pushed aside.  The rugged aspect of 
the terrain also causes wide local variations in wind speed and direction due to sheltering 
and channeling effects. 
 
The weather station in St Thomas lies in a very sheltered position on the lee side of the 
hills of the South.  During recent years, hourly observations taken at the WSFO San Juan; 
St Croix Virgin Islands; and St Thomas, Virgin Islands, indicate that less than 1 percent 
of all wind observations were above 24 mph, and less than 5 percent were above 18 mph. 
 
Precipitation in the Virgin Islands is highly variable, both seasonally and aerially.  
Seasonally, a dry period begins in December and ends in March or April.  It usually is 
followed by a period of intensive rainfall in April and May.  A period of diminished 
rainfall in June and July is followed by the wet season that extends from August through 
Water Island, Fort Segarra (I02VI097700) 
U. S. Virgin Islands 
Archives Search Report - Findings 
Section 3.0 – Site Description 
Page 3-2 
November, during which about 50 percent of annual rainfall occurs.  Annual precipitation 
averages from less than 30 to greater than 55 inches in the Virgin Islands. 
 
Tropical storms and hurricanes develop and may cause torrential rains.  The other major 
rainfall-producing situation occurs during the winter months, generally from about 
November to April.  Occasionally during this period, the trailing edge of a cold front 
penetrates far enough to have a definite effect upon the rainfall.  Rainfall in the U.S. 
Virgin Islands falls most frequently in the form of brief showers.  The distribution of 
rainfall over the year shows a relatively dry season and a relatively wet season. 
 
Orographic lifting of the moisture-laden air over the hilly terrain of these islands is the 
most frequent cause of rainfall.  However, due to the smaller elevations and smaller size 
of the islands, there is a less marked variation in annual amounts.  Clouds are formed by 
force ascent of the wind over small and narrow islands, as in the case of St Thomas. 
 
One of the most striking features of the temperature regime in the U.S. Virgin Islands is 
the relatively small variation from the coolest to the warmest months, ranging from about 
5 degrees to 7 degrees Fahrenheit (F). 
 
Due to the small size of the islands and the location of all stations within a few miles of 
the water, the mean daily range is quite small.  For these same reasons, relatively few 
days have temperatures of 90 degrees F or above.  Since the extent of land is small, the air 
passage over land is quite short and there is not sufficient time for extreme heating to take 
place. 
 
During the warmest months, maximum temperature averages about 87 degrees to 89 
degrees F, with nighttime temperatures dropping to about 74 degrees to 78 degrees F, and 
a little lower at higher elevations.  In the winter, daily maximum temperatures are 
generally in the low 80's and nighttime minima in the high 60's or low 70's.  The highest 
mean maximum temperatures are found in August, while the lowest mean maxim fall 
either in January or February.  The lowest mean minimum temperatures are observed in 
January and February, and the highest mean minimum temperatures are generally in July 
or August. 
 
The time of greater likelihood of flooding, naturally, is at the time of maximum rainfall 
expectancy, roughly May through November or December.  The hilly nature of the Virgin 
Islands and the steep flow of the waterways from their basins in the mountainous areas to 
their outlets into the ocean, dictate that many of the flood situations will be of the flash 
flood type.  Thus, with a relatively short warning period possible, eternal vigilance for 
possible flood-producing situations must be maintained. 
 
The orographic effect, when carried to a maximum development, is capable of depositing 
large quantities of water over the area, with resulting occasional flooding.  This situation 
existed during the May 1960 flood in the Virgin Islands, when thunderstorms formed 
over the northern Virgin Islands and remained practically stationary.   Hurricanes and

Section 3.0 – Site Description 
Page 3-3 
tropical storms, when they pass over the area or close by, are a serious flood-producing 
threat. 
 
Cold frontal action may also be responsible for floods.  During late November and early 
December 1960, such activity was sufficient to produce more than 12 inches of rainfall at 
several stations on St. Thomas and St. Croix.  This occurred during a six-day period.  The 
annual average is about one serious local flood, together with one or more lesser floods in 
the U.S. Virgin Islands. 
 
The climatological data summary tables can be found below in Table 3.2.1.  This table 
includes average maximum and minimum temperatures by month, average monthly 
temperature and precipitation and average monthly wind speed and direction.

3.3 
GEOLOGY AND SOILS 
 
3.3.1 Geology and Physiology 
 
Water Island is situated on the eastern end of the Greater Antilles submarine shelf.  Many 
geologists believe that the Greater Antilles was originally part of the Rocks-Andes 
mountain chain, which extends from the northwest tip of North America to the southern 
tip of South America (Government of the U.S. Virgin Islands, 1974).  Water Island is 
comprised of relatively undeformed and metamorphosed Cretaceous volcanic and 
volcanic sedimentary rocks.  The Water Island formation predominantly consists of lava 
flows and flow breccias deposited at great depths on the sea floor.  The maximum 
thickness is believed to be greater than 15,000 feet (Donnelly, 1959). 
 
3.3.2 Soils 
 
Water Island is volcanic in origin.  It has shallow soils of the Cramer gravelly clay loam 
variety, dense, semiarid vegetation and a rather steeply sloping terrain.  A primary 
ridgeline 200 to 290 feet above sea level runs down the center of the island in a north-
south direction. 
 
Among the island’s outstanding natural features are rugged, steep cliffs along the 
southern and southeastern shorelines, some 10 sand or sand and gravel beaches, a number 
of small bays and peninsulas, and four salt ponds with associated mangrove systems, two 
of which are still in relatively natural condition.

HYDROLOGY 
 
3.4.1 Surface Water 
 
The Virgin Islands of the United States are located about 1,100 miles east-southeast of 
Miami, Florida.  The islands are part of the Greater Antilles island chain, which, along 
with the Lesser Antilles Island chain, separates the Caribbean Sea from the Atlantic 
Ocean.  The Virgin Islands lie approximately 100 miles south of the Puerto Rico Trench, 
a depression of the ocean floor that reaches depths of 30,249 feet, the deepest known part 
of the Atlantic Ocean. 
 
3.4.2 Ground Water 
 
There are no permanent streams; fresh surface water occurs only intermittently in runoff 
channels.  Salt water is present in brackish ponds near the coast.  Shallow wells dating 
from the eighteenth century tapped the limited, potable, unpalatable ground water as a 
source for resupply of sailing ships, giving the island its name.  Permanent settlements 
used catchment and cistern systems for fresh water, as are used today.

SITE HISTORY 
 
4.1 
HISTORICAL SITE SUMMARY 
Two distinct phases of military use occurred on Water Island.  The first was the establishment of 
a coastal defense facility during World War II built to defend the Roosevelt Roads Naval facility 
on the island of Puerto Rico.  The second was the continuation of a US Army Chemical Corps 
testing project that had begun on the Panamanian island of San Jose. 
 
The historical information contained in this report is a compilation of research undertaken by 
Ebasco (1991), Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) (1993), USACE, St. 
Louis District (CEMVS) (2000) and USACE, Topographic Engineering Center (TEC) (2000).  
Ebasco produced an archives search report in 1991 that addressed the general operations of 
the US Army Chemical Corps in the Virgin Islands on the San Jose Project.  In 1993 SAIC 
made additions to the information of the Ebasco report based on personnel interviews and more 
archival research.  Interviews cited in this report are from the 1993 effort by SAIC.  SAIC also 
developed technical data regarding the various chemical agents that had been used on Water 
Island.  Beginning in 2000, the USACE, Jacksonville District (CESAJ) requested CEMVS and 
TEC to undertake a combined effort to evaluate the information contained in the Ebasco and 
SAIC reports and obtain additional data concerning both chemical warfare material and 
conventional ordnance activities that may have been carried out on Water Island.  CEMVS did 
subsequent research at various archives and records holdings areas.  TEC obtained and 
analyzed aerial photographs from 1945 through 1999.  The TEC Historical Photo Analysis 
report is included in Volume II to this report.  The SAIC and Ebasco reports are included in 
Volume III.  All of the San Jose Project Test Reports (SJPTR) and San Jose Project Progress 
Reports (SJPPR) that were located are included in Volume IV. 
 
4.1.1 Conventional Ordnance Activities 
On March 24, 1942 the Adjutant General’s Office approved construction of Battery 314 for 
Water Island (St. Thomas).  This battery was to be built on approximately 116 acres at the 
southern tip of the island.  The armament was to consist of 2-6” BC (Barbette carriage) guns.  
Construction was initiated in October 1942 but was suspended before the September 1943 
planned completion date.  The concrete gun positions and supporting buildings were essentially 
completed but no armament was ever installed.  [(CP-052201-031) These alphanumeric 
document citations are explained in Section 4.2 of this report.] 
 
An April 1943 Standard Construction Request and Approval Form (CP-052101-009) 
indicated that housing, facilities, and utilities were to be built at Druif Point on Water Island to 
accommodate the 154 personnel of the Anti-motor Torpedo Boat Battery (AMTB). 
 
In July 1943 the Headquarters of the Coast Artillery Command requested approval for 
temporary emplacements for the 37mm and 90mm guns of the Anti-motor Torpedo Boat 
Batteries for the Roosevelt Roads Defense Project.  The locations of two of these

emplacements were to be on Water Island.  The first was at Druif Point to consist of 2-90mm 
guns and 2-37mm guns.  The second would be at Providence Point and have 2-37mm guns.  
The temporary emplacements were to consist of a suitable platform with only a simple parapet 
and ammunition niches.  (CP-052201-028) 
 
A December 1943 document (CP-052201-027) tabulated the Coast Artillery Command 
facilities on Water Island as: 
 
Site 38-202--CA 6” Gun Battery and SCR-4 Officers and 164 EM 
Site 41-205--AMTB Sec. 2-37mm (Providence Point)-1 Officer and 39 EM 
Site 40-180--Ammunition Storage (Caroline Point)-0 Officers and 0 EM 
 
A May 1944 Status of Seacoast Batteries (CP-052101-008) indicates that completion of 
Battery 314 was put on indefinite hold and that no guns were installed at this site.  The 
emplacement construction was considered 97% complete. 
 
In June 1945 the HQ of the Caribbean Defense Command recommended that the harbor 
defense units be removed from Fort Segarra leaving only headquarters and service personnel to 
administer the fort.  The 818th AMTB Battery consisting of 209 personnel (5 officers, 204 
enlisted) was to be completely inactivated.  The Hq & Hq Co, 242nd MP Co Det, 337th Med 
Disp, 852nd APO Unit, and AntD Sig Sv Det having 133 personnel were to be augmented by 
39 additional personnel in the Hq.   These additional personnel were to be added to the station 
complement for caretaking of the armament and installations. (CP-052101-023) 
 
An August 1950 map prepared by the US Army Corps of Engineers (NY-052201-002), which 
is included in Appendix E, identifies the locations of facilities constructed for the coast defense 
operations on Water Island.  Supplementing that map is an inventory of real and installed 
property at Fort Segarra (NY-052201-001). 
 
The Historical Photo Analysis (Volume II of this report) Plate 18 is a 1947 aerial photo showing 
the locations of the features described above.  Additional maps and photographs of the site are 
contained in the Ebasco and SAIC reports. 
 
4.1.2 Chemical Warfare Material Activities-The San Jose Project on the U.S. Virgin Islands 
 
The San Jose Project evaluating chemical warfare items was initiated on the Panamanian island 
of San Jose.  Conditions in 1947 dictated that the project be relocated.  The decision was made 
to move to the Virgin Islands in 1948.  Figure 4-1 in this section depicts the chronological 
sequence of activities of the Sand Jose Project in St. Thomas.   
 
Movement of the San Jose project to the U.S. Virgin Islands began in March 1948. A small 
advance party was dispatched at that time, followed by a larger party on 14 April 1948. The 
mission of these parties was to make the new station habitable for the main body. The greater

portion of the equipment for the San Jose Project arrived at St. Thomas aboard the Colonel 
William J. O'Brien on 4 May 1948.  Military and civilian personnel and their dependents were 
airlifted from Panama to the U.S. Virgin Islands in small increments.  The toxic chemicals were 
towed on two 500-ton ocean-going barges, arriving at St. Thomas on 21 May 1948.  The 
explosives were brought in the hold of a separate boat, arriving on 27 May 1948 and 
completing the movement from the Canal Zone (SJPPR No. 61). 
 
Test area to support the San Jose project on the U.S. Virgin Islands were located on Water 
Island and the west end of St. Thomas, beginning at the isthmus between Santa Maria Bay and 
Perseverance Bay.  A map of the test areas on Water Island is included on Plate 10 of Volume 
II of this report.  The former U.S. Navy Submarine Base, just west of Charlotte Amalie on St. 
Thomas, was used for barracks, administrative buildings, and a chemical laboratory. 
 
Water Island was the site for the Toxic Storage Yard (SJPPR No. 61). 
 
At one time, 57 tests were planned to be conducted in the U.S. Virgin Islands.  Only nine of 
these tests, three of which were surveillance tests, were actually conducted.  A complete listing 
of tests that were planned for the San Jose Project on the U.S. Virgin Islands is provided in 
Volume IV of this report, San Jose Project Report No. 61, Appendix B. 
 
Table 4-1 provides a listing of the chemical agent tests that were actually conducted, the time 
period the test was conducted, the location of the test, and the quantity of test items involved in 
the test.  Each test is discussed in more detail in the sections following the table.  Chemical

Jose project in March 1950. It is believed that the items were stored in the Toxic Storage Yard 
on Water Island (Mains, 1993). 
 
The bombs were stored on dunnage in a well-ventilated building on 21 May 1948. In 
December 1948, the bombs were moved from that building to a new, outdoor storage location. 
Canvas covers protected the bombs. Based on the sampling results, it appears only four bombs 
were involved in these tests. They included two T-3 bombs, H-filled and heresite-coated, and 
two T-3 bombs, HD-filled and not coated (SJPPR No: 48). 
 
Semi-annual sampling was performed on the bombs.  The first record of this sampling occurred 
following movement outdoors on 12 January 1949 (SJPPR No. 64). Sampling was conducted 
again on 5 July 1949 and on 12 January 1950.  Data collected included the weight of the 
bombs, weight of the agent fill, and the percentage of residue and purity of the agent sample 
(SJPPR No. 71 and 76). 
 
4.1.3.2  SJPRN 102, Location of Entrances to Gasproof Shelters in Relation to Prevailing 
Winds.  
This test was conducted from 17 May 1949 to 30 September 1949 to determine by field tests 
the best location of entrances for gasproof shelters with respect to the wind.  Shelters, 10 by 10 
by 8 1/2 feet, were constructed in two areas on the west end of St. Thomas.  During phase 1, 
results were obtained with the shelter on a downgrade slope with respect to the source. Phase 
11 was conducted in the second location, with the shelter on an upgrade slope with respect to 
the source. Throughout the test, the source of agent consisted of several one-ton containers of 
CG placed about the shelter (SJPRN 102). Figure 2-6 shows the setup for phase 1. Figure 2-7 
shows the test setup for phase 11, and figure 2-8 is a picture of the CG ton containers used in 
these tests (SJPRN 102). 
 
During each phase, preliminary tests were first conducted with HC and colored smokes.  HC 
smoke and colored grenades were released upwind and downwind of the shelter to photograph 
convection currents caused by the presence of trees and vegetation around the shelter (SJPRN 
102). 
 
Following these preliminary tests, CG was released from a series of upwind sources.  The flow 
of CG was regulated by needle valves.  During phase I, CG was released over a period of 2 
days from five one-ton containers located 45 feet upwind of the shelter.  Additionally, CG was 
released from 12 one-ton containers located 150 feet upwind of the shelter over a period of 2 
days.  Tests were conducted for 1 day with the CG released downwind from the protective 
shelters approximately 8 feet from the shelter so that convection currents present around the 
shelter could be evaluated (SJPRN 102). 
 
During phase II, the shelter was situated on a downgrade slope. Preliminary tests with smoke 
were conducted and then the CG tests were repeated. CG operations with the source upwind 
were run for a 3-day period while those with the source downwind were run for 1 day. The

source consisted of 16 one-ton containers at a distance of approximately 100 feet. At one 
point, a ventilation system was installed in the shelter and CG was released upwind to determine 
the effectiveness of the system (SJPRN 102). 
 
During the test, safety personnel declared the test area as out-of-bounds to all except those 
involved in the testing.  The munitions and weapons section were to supply 50 HC grenades and 
20 colored grenades to support the testing (SJPRN 102). 
 
4.1.3.3  SJPRN 132, Surveillance Test Particulate Bombs, 4-1b, E-1.  
During this test, 50 bombs were subjected to a variety of tropical and semi-tropical storage and 
rough usage conditions and observations were made on their condition during and following the 
treatment.  The actual test covered a 6-month period. 
 
Test bombs were filled with a simulated agent that was non-toxic to personnel. Fluorescein had 
been added in sufficient amount to cause a small drop of liquid fill to glow with a green color 
under ultra-violet light. The bombs were inert, containing no explosives and requiring no special 
handling techniques (SJPRN 132). 
 
Ten bombs were stored outdoors in a jungle and wooded area protected from precipitation. 
 
Bombs used in this test were shipped back to Camp Detrick, MD during the week of 15 
November 1948 (SJPPR No. 62). 
 
4.1.3.4  SJPRN 135, Surveillance of Un-stabilized Cyanogen Chloride in M70, M78, and 
M79 Bombs.  
The actual sampling work for this test began in December 1948 and the initial results are 
reported in the SJPPR No. 63 and 67.  The M70 bombs were not sampled until June 1949 
when the appropriate tapping and sampling devices had arrived. Of the M78 and M79 bombs, 
absolute pressure, percent acidity, and percent soluble, nonvolatile residue were determined. 
Four M78 -bombs could not be sampled because the valves were clogged. Tapping the bombs 
revealed that they were largely solid. Bomb No. 10 was vented and sampled, and found to be 
12.9-percent non-soluble residue, and destroyed.  No information is provided as to how or 
where this bomb was destroyed. The other three bombs were not sampled in follow-up tests.  
Thirty-three M78 bombs were originally involved in this test, four of which could not be 
sampled.  Seven M79 bombs were sampled.  Semi-annual sampling continued in June 1949 
(SJPPR No. 69) and in January 1950 (SJPPR No. 75 and 76).  During each sampling period, 
twenty-nine M78, seven M79, and fifteen M70 bombs were sampled. 
 
Two important points should be noted about these tests.  One is that un-stabilized CK was used 
and that four of the bombs were found to be largely solid.  When stabilizers are not added, CK 
solidifies to form cyanuric chloride. The reactive properties of cyanuric chloride are addressed 
in section 10 in this report. The second point is that 500-pound bombs were disposed of during

this test.  Since they were involved in surveillance tests, they were most likely not explosively 
configured. 
 
4.1.3.5  SJPRN 136, Static Test of M70 Bomb, HD-Filled.  
This test was performed in eight phases during the period from 23 November 1948 through 23 
February 1949.  In each phase, an M70 bomb, filled with HD and dyed with Dupont oil red or 
yellow, was fired statically in a vertical position.  The purpose of the test was to establish 
meteorological and terrain factors at this site so results could be used as a basis for comparison 
between tests run at the U.S. Virgin Islands and other sites. 
 
The eight phases of the tests were run in the following areas under the following conditions: 
 
Phases 1 and 2:  open area with offshore winds, Area 4;  
Phases 3 and 4:  wooded area with offshore winds, Area 5; 
Phases 5 and 6:  wooded area with onshore winds, Area 8; and 
Phases 7 and 8:  open area with onshore winds, Area 6. 
 
The test plan indicated these tests would be conducted in areas 1, 4, and 7.  Based on the test 
report and mustard contamination contours, which provided the results of the test, no tests were 
conducted in areas 1 and 7, which is located at the north end of Water Island (SJPRN 136). 
 
During each phase of this test, a single M70 bomb, HD-filled, was emplaced vertically, nose 
down, and fired statically.  The HD was dyed with 0.50-percent Dupont oil yellow for phases 1 
through 4 and 0.25-percent Dupont oil red for phase 5 through 8.  From photographs of the 
test setups, it appears these bombs were electrically fired.   
 
4.1.3.6  SJPRN 176, Static Test in the Open of Single E23 Smoke Pot, HD-Filled. 
The objective of this test was to determine the dosage field, rate of dosage achievement, total 
dosage, decomposition loss, and overall efficiency for a single E23 smoke pot, HD-filled when 
fire statically in an open area.  This test was conducted from 27 July 1949 to 10 August 1949 
(SJPRN 176). 
 
There were five phases to this test.  During the first four phases, a single E23 smoke pot filled 
with HD and dyed with Dupont oil red was burned statically in the open at area 4 on Water 
Island.  On several occasions, a considerable portion of the agent was left in the pot and it was 
not uncommon for a pot to swell noticeably from the heat of the burning. Overall efficiency 
ranged from 2.7 to 60 percent.  During phase 1, 3800 cubic centimeters of agent remained in 
the pot after burning. Phases 1 and 2 were conducted in mid-morning to obtain lapse 
conditions, and phases 3 and 4 were conducted in early morning to obtain inversion conditions 
(SJ.PRN 176).

Phase 5 involved the simultaneous burning of nine pots. The smoke pots were placed in three 
rows on a grid 2 feet from center to center. Following the test, 2400 cubic centimeters of agent 
was left in one of the pots. This test was conducted in the open at area 4. 
 
The smoke pots are a 5-gallon, thin-walled metal can with HC smoke in the bottom half and 
approximately 18-pounds of HD on the top half. The smoke pot was ignited remotely and the 
agent was heated and dispersed. There were no high explosives involved in these tests (Mains 
1993). Monitoring devices included jumpcards and bubblers. Ground contamination contours 
are provided in the test report (SJPRN 176). 
 
 
4.1.3.7  SJPRN 166, Static Test in the Open of Single E-23 Smoke Pot, GA-Filled.  
Very little information is available detailing the last three tests conducted in the San Jose project. 
It is believed the reports were not finalized before the San Jose project was to be disbanded, 
and therefore final reports may never have been published. The progress reports indicate that 
the final reporting of these three tests was delayed pending further information and materials 
required in preparation of the report. 
 
The four phases of Test No. 166 occurred from 1 September 1949 through 9 November 1949 
(SJPPR No. 72-74). Of all the tests conducted on Water Island, Mr. Mains was most familiar 
with this test. Mr. Mains believed the GA smoke pot tests had all been conducted in a cleared 
segment of area 4. During each phase, a single smoke pot was placed in the open area and 
goats and cages of pigeons were placed alternately in two rows in a half-circle downwind of the 
smoke pot. Agent monitors were also placed around the smoke pot and the agent dispersion 
characteristics were determined. The smoke pots were electrically fired (Mains 1993). 
 
4.1.3.8   SJPRN 168, Test of Single E-23 Smoke Pot, GA-Filled, Functioned Statically on 
Water with Onshore Wind.  
The four phases of this test were conducted from 18 November 1949 through 9 December 
1949. Phase I was conducted twice.  During the initial run, no agent was dispersed by the 
smoke pot (SJPPR No. 74-75).  Mr. Mains did not recall a smoke pot test being conducted on 
the water, and could not provide information as to the test area.  Since the test was conducted 
on the water with onshore winds it may have been conducted off the shore in area 6.  It is 
believed that no other test areas other than those used in SJPRN 136 (Static Test of M70 
Bombs) would have been used since this test was the baseline. It was conducted to establish the 
effects of local meteorological and terrain factors in the test areas so that results could be 
compared with tests outside the U.S. Virgin Islands.  Area 6 was used in this baseline to 
characterize an open area with onshore winds. 
 
4.1.3.9   SJPRN 179, Test of Single E-23 Smoke Pot, HO-Filled, Functioned Statically in 
Open on Land.  
Phases 1 and 2 of this test were performed on 15 February and 17 February 1950 (SJPPR 
No.77). There are no records of the location of these tests or if the tests were ever completed.

The progress report for the month of March indicates that this test was still in progress. The test 
most likely involved 4 phases, as was the case for the other smoke pot tests. It is unknown 
whether two additional smoke pots were filled with sesquimustard (HQ) in preparation for the 
remaining phases of the test.

4.1.4 Plan for Dis-Establishment of San Jose Project 
 
4.1.4.1 Overall Plan for Dis-establishment of the San Jose Project 
Plans were made in early 1950 to discontinue the San Jose Project.  A memorandum was 
forwarded on 14 February 1950 to the Commanding Officer, San Jose Project, indicating that a 
steering committee was to be formed to formulate local plans to carry out the overall plan 
(CP052201-016).  The overall plan was detailed in a document, dated 19 April 1950, signed 
by Brigadier General E. C. Wallington, Deputy Chief, Chemical Corps (CP052201-020).  This 
overall plan for the dis-establishment of the San Jose Project consisted of ten individual task 
plans, some with implementation annexes.  Original copies of the Plan of Dis-establishment 
plans and annexes are contained in Section 3.0 of this report.   The individual plan sections were 
issued separately and each appropriately authenticated.  Collectively they were considered the 
plan for dis-establishment.

4.1.4.2  Individual Significant Dis-establishment Plans 
Plans “A”, “D”, and “H” were the significant portions of the overall plan dealing with toxics and 
munitions.   
 
4.1.4.2.1 Plan “A” and Annex “A” 
Plan “A” provided that the Commanding Officer, San Jose Project could use his discretion in 
determining if any containers holding toxics and which are scheduled to be shipped had 
deteriorated to such a point that they might preclude safe arrival at their final destination.  Such 
materials could be dumped at sea.  Annex “A” listed the munitions that would be dumped at sea 
and those that would be shipped to the various Chemical Corps facilities (CP-052201-030). 
 
During the period 12 May through 15 May 1950 various explosives and toxics that were 
declared surplus or unserviceable were loaded on a barge at Water Island.  Beginning at 0600 
hours on 15 May the barge was moved by tugboat to the Naval Ammunition Dumping Grounds 
south Vieques Island, Puerto Rico.  Necessary clearances had been obtained from both the 
Coast Guard and the Tenth Naval district for use of the dumping grounds.  The approximate 
coordinates of the dumping area are longitude 18 degrees north and latitude 65 degrees, 30 
minutes west.  The water depth at this location according to navigation charts is 1470 fathoms, 
well in excess of the minimum of 1000 fathoms specified by regulations.  Materials dumped 
overboard included 55-gallon drums of mustard agent as well as agent-filled M78 and M79 
bombs, empty M70 bombs, 4.2-inch mortar fuzes, AN-M100A2 tail fuzes, and AN-M110A1 
nose fuzes.  During the operation 25 of the 4.2-inch mortar fuzes are inadvertently dropped 
overboard in their metal containers.  Subsequently three civilians in the Cadalero Abajo area of 
Puerto Rico are killed when they attempt to dismantle two of the fuzes. (CP-052201-018) 
 
A report on the incident dated 22 June 1950, from the Chief of the Chemical Corps to the 
Commanding Officer of the San Jose Project places responsibility on the project personnel.  
During the course of the investigation it was also discovered on 25 May 1950 that a 4.2 fuze 
and a bomb nose fuze, both still in their containers was found among the debris in the barge.  
The Commanding Officer is admonished that these two fuzes evidence the “criminally negligent 
manner in which this operation was carried out.”  The Chief further indicated that he expected 
that this poor sense of duty would not be reflected in other activities in closing out the San Jose 
Project.  (CP-052201-018) 
 
4.1.4.2.2 Plan “D” 
Plan “D” specified that items such as VT fuzes, high explosives, smoke grenades, bursters, 
boosters, and other munitions of war would probably be sent aboard the Sgt. George 
Peterson to New York beginning around 11 May 1950. 
 
4.1.4.2.3 Plan “H” and Annex “H” 
Plan “H” stipulated criteria and conditions that were to be implemented to provide 
decontamination clearance certification.  Such certification was required because the Chemical

Corps would be releasing the property from its jurisdiction.  This plan called for the clearance of 
land, buildings, facilities, and equipment of all duds.  Any duds found would be appropriately 
destroyed.  The plan further directed any areas that could not be decontaminated must be 
fenced to protect against unauthorized entry.  The fence was to be four-foot high hog wire, 
topped with three strands of barbed wire, all mounted on galvanized steel posts.  Permanent 
warning signs were to be placed at intervals of not more than 100 feet and at such locations that 
they would be visible when approaching the area from any direction.  The decontamination 
clearance certificate was to be provided to the Chief of the Chemical Corps before the closing 
of the San Jose Project.  This requirement was mandated because all of the necessary 
equipment and supplies for decontamination were present at the project and, more importantly, 
personnel familiar with the operations would still be there. 
 
Annex “H” provided the outline that was to be used for the Certificate of Clearance.  This annex 
provided designations for any contaminated areas that were to be fenced, any areas restricted 
to surface use only, and properties that were to be deed restricted. 
 
4.1.4.3  Copy of Original Dis-establishment Plan 
The document is primarily from several sources at the National Archives in College Park, MD 
with the exception that the first page of the index is from Edgewood Historical Office on the 
Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD.  
 
Of particular note are Plans G and H and Annex H that discuss destruction of smoke pots and 
certificates of clearance.

MOVE! :EflT OF TOXICS 
-FROL THE SAN JOSE PROJECT TO THE ZONE OF INTERIOR 
1. 
The Assistant Chief of Staff, G-4 has given approval for the 
ship~ent of toxic3 from the San Jose Project to the Zone of Interior. 
The fol1ovTing instructions Vlill apply: 
a. 
The Commanding Officer, Technical Escort Detachment will 
provide adequate escort personnel to accompany the shii.Jr.'~nt of the toxics 
from St. 
Thomas, Virgil-. Islands to the Zone of Inter j .'.' Port of Embark-
ation, NOPE, and thence to final distination points, ~hich are: 
(1) Army Chemical Center, i:aryland . 
(2) Eidwest Chemical Depot; Bald"in.: k:kansas 
(3) Deseret Chemical Depot, St. JOllllS,; Utah 
b. 
The Commanding Officer, San Jose Project will furnish all 
available protective clothing, ointr.lents, bleach, and ot.'Jer materials 
and supplies normally required for movement of such toxics. 
c. 
Direct communication is au.thm'ized between the Commanding 
Officer, Technical Esco:-t T)etacru:1ent and thE'; 
(;cmmant~ing Officer, San 
Jose Project ~ith regard to the movement of these toxics. 
d. 
The Corrananding Officer, Technical Escort Detachment will 
provide' any materials and equipment not furnished by the COIll1landing 
Officer, San Jose Project. 
He will also make all final. arrangements 
for shipment of technical escort personnel from Zone of Interior to St. 
Thomas and upon arrival at the Port of Debarkation in the USA and return 
to permanent station. 
e. 
In accordance with SR?5-70-10, dated 5 May 1949, the 
Commanding Officer, San Jose Project uill dump at an appropriate loca-
tion approved by the Commandant of the 10th Naval District such muni-
tions as are shovm to be disposed of on Annex "A" attached. 
f. 
All munitions being shipped to the Zone of Interior yrill 
be appropriately marked "lith final destination in accordance with exist-
ing; Army directives. If at all possible, the palletization method of 
shipElcnt nill be used in order to reduce the handling time and cost, and 
to easq stenciling operations. Steel strappi..l1g ..,Till be used to maintain 
such ur.it loads. Shipments nill be kept s8gI'8gatcd as to final destina-
tion to avoid delay in sortin~ operations at the Port of Dp.barkation. 
No unit load will exceed 3~ tons in Y;eight.

4.1.4 Summary of Interviews 
 
 
Interview with Mr. Jimmie Mains, February 17, 1993. 
Q. What was your rank and area of responsibility on Water Island? 
A Mr. Mains was a Toxic Gas Handler (MOS 383). He performed storage 
functions in a toxic gas yard on Water Island. Duties inel uded arrangement of the 
storage area, transfer of agents from bulk containers to smaller containers for use 
in test operations, decontamination of contaminated areas, setting up toxic 
Chemical agent test facilities, and assisting laboratory personnel during and 
following such tests. In addition, Mr. Mains was responsible for the operation of 
the decontamination truck on Water Island and care of the test animals. 
Q. How long and what years were you stationed on the U.S. Virgin Islands? 
A. Mr. Mains joined the San Jose project in December 1947, two weeks before the 
contingent left San Jose Island and moved to Panama. Mr. Mains described the 
San Jose project in Panama where he was responsible for maintaining the 
munitions. The munitions were stored adjacent to the Chagres River. A guard 
station was set up at the cross road to Fort San Lorenzo. Chemical testing 
personnel stayed at Ft. Sherman and other personnel stayed at Ft. Clayton in 
Panama. Munitions were secured on Panama from January until May/June 1948 
when the new test area was identified. No testing was conducted in Panama. Mr. 
Mains continued on to the Virgin Islands and he left the project in July 1950 after 
participating in the munition sea dump. During his tenure on the Virgin Islands, 
Mr. Mains was one of four military pers6nnel who worked full time (40 hours per 
week) on Water Island. An, office was set up adjacent to the toxic storage yard 
where the Water Isle Hotel is currently situated. 
Q. To your knowledge, was there any chemical agent testing conducted on St. 
Thomas or was it all confined to Water Island? Describe any tests and the 
location. 
A. Mr. Mains did not remember any testing conducted on St. Thomas. He 
remembered some details of the phosgene tests (which are recorded to have 
occurred on St. Thomas) but he could not remember the location. 
Q. Were any chemical items stored on St. Thomas? If so, where? 
A. No items were stored on St. Thomas. The only chemical agent work which 
occurred on St. Thomas was in the laboratory located near the finger piers in the 
old submarine base. Mr. Mains provided a photograph of the laboratory. The 
attached map of St. Thomas shows the location of the lab at that time. :Mr. Mains 
believes that this building has been torn down since that time. 
Q. Was there any chemical agent transfer operations conducted on St. Thomas? 
If so, where?

A. Not to his knowledge. Agent transfer operations were all conducted at the 
toxic storage yard on ""Vater Island. 
Q. Describe the support facilities on St. Thomas. 
A. Two barracks were located on St. Thomas. Personnel were transported by boat 
to Water Island to support. the testing. The laboratory to support the San Jose 
project was located on St. Thomas. 
Q. Were any chemical items stored on Water Island? Were the items stored out 
in the open or in a building? 
A. All chemical items were stored on Water Island near the road where the Water 
Isle Hotel is currently located. Bombs involved in the surveillance tests were 
stored outside. All other items were stored inside buildings. There office was 
located in close proximity to the toxic storage yard. The test animals were also 
stored in this area. Items in the storage yard were carefully maintained since the 
workers were in close proximity to this area. Valves were checked frequently and 
changed as required. No other leaks were identified in the chemical items. 
Transfer operations also occurred in this area. Vehicles to support the operation 
included a decon truck, 2 Y2 ton truck and a 3 ':.4 ton truck. These were the only 
vehicles on Water Island. The attached map of Water Island shows the location of 
the storage area and the office. 
Mr. Mains provided a photograph of the area on 
Water Island. 
Q. Describe, as you remember, the tests which were conducted on Water Island. 
A. Mr. Mains recalled the GA floating. smoke pot tests and the phosgene tests. 
He described the floating smoke pots as a 5 gallon can which had smoke (He) in 
the bottom half and GA floating on the top. Rows of pigeons and goats were 
placed in front of the smoke pots. The smoke pots were ignited and the dispersion 
pattern of the GA was recorded. Mr. Mains believed that all tests had occurred in 
close proximity to the Flamingo Bay dock. He beli"eved that the GA smoke test 
that he had described had occurred in area 4 in the flat ground between the road 
and what used to be a fresh water pond (where the marina is currently located). 
Mr. Mains did not believe any tests had occurred on the North end of the island 
and had not been aware there had even been a road to that area. Tests were 
conducted downwind of the office area which would have placed them at the 
southern end of the island. 1'Ir. Mains did not recall any mustard tests being 
conducted. He also did not recall a test where the smoke pots were functioned 
while on the water. 
Q. What agents and munitions were iD.volved in the testing? 
A. Ton containers of phosgene were involved in the tests to determine how the 
gases penetrate gas proof shelters. Mr. Mains did not recall the location of these

tests. GA smoke pot tests occurred in area 4. Other agents stored on Water 
Island included GA filled German bombs, CK and AC filled bombs and N02 filled 
containers. 
Q. What was the disposal procedure for leaking munitions? Did it vary 
depending on agent? What was done with empty containers? Were they 
decontaminated and removed? 
A. When a leaking munition/item was identified it was immediately repaired, i.e. 
valves were replaced, and the area was decontaminated as required. To his 
knowledge, no empty containers or agent filled containers were buried. The 
workers were very careful to insure there were no leaking containers or residual 
agent in the toxic storage yard since they understood the hazard and there office 
was located adjacent to this area. 
Q. Describe cleanup procedures at the end of each test and at the end of the test 
mission on the Virgin Islands. 
A. Standard practice during that era was to decontaminate and bury remnants 
from the tests. Mr. Mains could not recall if this was done on Water Island and 
he could not locate a possible burial site. Decontamination solutions that were 
used included soap and water, lime and DANC. He could not recall what 
happened to the dead goats and pigeons from the tests but suspected that they 
were placed in a pit, decontamination added and the items buried. Test areas 
were decontaminated after each test to insure that residual agent would not skew 
the results of follow-on tests. At the termination of the San Jose project all items, 
with the exception of excess burster charges, were removed from Water Island 
and either ocean dumped or sent back to the states for storage. At the end of the 
project, Mr. Mains was responsible for detonating excess burster charges. 
Hundreds of these items were detonated in area 4, between the road and the 
currently existing marina. Three boxes at a time were typically detonated. Mr. 
Mains was also involved in the sea dump of the chemical munitions. He provided 
a picture of the munitions on the barge being dumped. 
Q. Describe the static firing procedures. 
A. Mr Mains recalled that wires were connected to the items to remotely fire 
them. He believed they were electrically fired. If an item did not fire (it was a 
dud), they would check the connections and continue to work with the item until it 
was fired. To his knowledge, no duds were left behind or buried. 
Q. Were chemically filled munitions fired from gun tubes, dropped from an 
aircraft, or fired as rockets? Were M23 landmines emplaced and then functioned 
by driving over them, etc? 
A. Items were only statically fired. No landmines were involved in the tests.

Q. \Vere areas or equipment contaminated by spraying pure agent? If so, what 
was done with residual agent in spray tanks. Were any spray tanks jettisoned? 
A. No spray tanks were involved in any tests. No areas were sprayed with agent. 
Q. Were any variable time (radar fuzes) used to achieve air bursts? 
A There were no air bursts. 
Q. Were any magnetic influence fuzes used with land mine testing? 
A There were no land mine tests. 
Q. What decontaminating agent was used on site? What methods were used for 
neutralization? 
. 
A A decon truck was situated in close proximity to each test. Soap and water, 
lime and DANC were the primary decontamination solutions. 
Q. Were munitions shipped with the fill and explosive components or were they 
. assembled on Water Island/St. Thomas? If not used, were the dissembled? 
A Munitions were shipped to Water Island without their explosives. Explosives 
were shipped separately. They were uploaded, as required, just before the tests. 
Q. Why were numerous munitions and agents disposed of at sea? Were they not 
serviceable or too dangerous to transport? 
A The munitions were in serviceable condition. They were dumped at sea 
because there was no longer any use for them and, similar to the problems we 
have today, they co-uld not identif:y a sit~ which would. accept them. 
Q. Were any WP filled munitions ever used? 
A No. 
Q. Do you know how to get in contact with anyone else who was involved in the 
San Jose project on the Virgin Islands? 
A Mr. Mains was the person who originally gave me Mr. Luke West and Mr. 
McAdory as additional personnel involved in the San Jose project. Both of these 
gentlemen have been contacted. In addition, he suggested we talk ro Mr. George 
Murray and Dr. Spector from Fort McClellan. Although these men were not 
involved in the San Jose project, they have historical information on chemical 
testing in general. Mr. Mains also suggested that an ad be placed in the Army 
Echos, a publication for retired military, to identify additional contacts for the San 
Jose project.

Interview with Mr. Luke West, February 17, 1993 
Q. What was your rank and area of responsibility on Water Island? 
A Mr. West was a Captain and a test officer during the San Jose Project. He 
was also a meteorologist and was responsible for photographing the test setups. 
Most of his involvement occurred on San Jose Island but he was involved in some 
tests on Water Island. 
Q. How long and what years were you stationed on the U.S. Virgin Islands? 
A. Mr. West joined the San Jose project during the testing on San Jose Island. 
When the contingent left San Jose Island and moved to Panama, Mr. West stayed 
behind in support of the reconnaissance mission. Mr. West continued on to the 
U.S. Virgin Islands and stayed until May 1949. 
Q. To your knowledge, was there any chemical agent testing conducted on St. 
Thomas or was it all confined to Water Island? Describe any tests and the 
location. 
A. Mr. West did not remember any testing conducted on St. Thomas. 
Q. Were any chemical items stored on St. Thomas? If so, where? 
A. No items were stored on St. Thomas. 
Q. Was there any chemical agent transfer operations conducted on St. Thomas? 
If so, where? 
A. Not to his knowledge. 
Q. Were any chemical items stored on Water Island? Were the items stored out 
in the open or in a building? Locate the storage areas on the attached map. 
A. All chemical items were stored on Water Island. Mr. West showed the location 
of this storage area on the map and it was near the road where the Water Isle 
Hotel is currently located. Some items were stored in buildings and some items 
were stored outside. All agent transfer operations occurred at the storage yard on 
Water Island and then the items were moved to the test area. 
Q. Describe, as you remember, the tests which were conducted on Water Island. 
Locate the test area for each test on the attached maps. 
A. Mr. West recalled the mustard M70 bomb tests and some GA tests that were 
conducted. Agent involved in these tests were dyed red or yellow to better identify 
the dispersion patterns. He remembered that they were conducted on the South 
Water Island, Fort Segarra (I02VI097700) 
U .S. Virgin Islands

end of the island near the docks. He did not believe any tests had been conducted 
on the North end of the island due to the prevailing winds. He did remember that 
at one time there had been some plans to conduct tests at the North end of the 
island but he thought it had been limited to dropping bombs filled with simulant. 
These tests were never conducted. 
Q. What agents and munitions were involved in the testing? 
A. Mr. West remembered the tests with mustard filled M70 bombs and some GA 
tests. Other than that he could not recall many tests being conducted. Following 
tests on the San Jose Island, WWII had ended and there was not the same 
priority to complete these tests. For that reason, there was little testing 
conducted on Water Island. There were no arsenic compounds like lewisite 
involved in the tests or stored on Water Island. 
Q. What was the disposal procedure for leaking munitions? Did it vary 
depending on agent? What was done with empty containers? Were they 
decontaminated and removed? Describe cleanup procedures at the end of each 
test and at the end of the test mission on the Virgin Islands. 
A. Leaking munitions were repaired immediately. Items were not buried if they 
contained chemical agent. Following each test, the areas were decontaminated 
such that residual agent would not interfere with follow on tests. Remnants from 
tests were typically thrown in a pit, decontamination was added, a dirt cover was 
added, more decontamination solution was added and then dirt was used to fill the 
pit. Another method of disposal back in that era was to encapsulate the waste in 
concrete and ocean dump the waste. Mr. West could not recall if any of these 
practices were conducted on Water Island but he did feel fairly sure any thing 
buried was empty and would have been sufficiently decontaminated such that it 
would not present an environmental problem. Likewise he believed all items had 
been removed from the San Jose Island. During the testing on that island, 
unserviceable munitions were periodically taken out to sea and dumped. Pigeons 
and goats from the tests were burned in a pit on the San Jose Island. Mr. West 
was not sure how these test animals were disposed on Water Island. At the end of 
the project, all items were removed. Mr. West could not locate any potential 
burial sites either on the San Jose Island or Water Island. 
Q. What decontamination agents were used on Water Island? 
A. Mr. West recalled that lime, soap and water, and salt water were used to 
decontaminate GA. If there was gross contamination, DANC was used. If the 
contamination was on a vehicle, DANC was not used due to its highly corrosive 
nature. 
Q. What happened to munitions which did not function (i.e., Duds). 
Water Island, Fort Segarra (I02VI097700) 
U .S. Virgin Islands

A. If the item did not function, they would wait until they were sure it would not 
go off and then they would check the item, fIx the problem and initiate the 
explosives again. The procedures in FM 5-25 were followed. 
Q. Do you know how to get in contact with anyone else who was involved in the 
San Jose project on the Virgin Islands? 
A. Mr. West provided the name and address of Retired COL David Dick who was 
the Officer in Charge of the San Jose project toxic storage site when the toxics 
were moved from San Jose Island to Panama. In addition he gave some points of 
contact at Fort McClellan who had historical information on the San Jose project.

Interview conducted with Mr. Couter of Water Isle Ho'tels and Beach Clubs, January 14, 
1993. 
Question. Describe the events which occurred in 1966 when the two bombs were Wlearthed. 
Answer. While excavating in the Flamingo Bay area, two metal bombs were Wlearthed. Because 
the area had been a salt pond, the soil has remained moist. The bombs surfaced when a draw line 
was being used during a "mucking" operation at an approximate 20 foot depth. The bombs could 
have been located anywhere above this depth. The bombs were the size of small butane tanks. 
Dimensions were estimated as 18 - 24 inches in diameter. Mr. Cauter believed them to be 500 
pound bombs. The Naval Ordnance Disposal Detachment at Roosevelt Roads was contacted and 
they removed the items from the site. Excavation in that area was discontinued. 
Question. Was the concrete filled bomb located at the deep water dock one of the items 
uncovered at that time? 
Answer. No. That bomb was washed up to shore during Hurricane Hugo. It was already 
concrete filled. It may have been filled by the anny and used as an anchor during the San Jose 
project. 
Question. Describe the use of the Flamingo Bay landfill area. 
Answer. There was a salt pond in the Flamingo Bay area in the 1950's when the Island was first 
turned over to the Department of the Interior. Island residents used the salt pond as a dump 
area. Compacted vehicles and other trash were disposed in a single layer and covered with dirt 
fill. Subsequent layers of trash with a dirt cover were disposed of in this area Wltil the salt pond 
was filled. The original salt pond was thought to have been about 10 feet deep. Trash was also 
burned in this area until 1982 when EPA regulations precluded op-en air burning. Mr. Couter 
recommended we obtain old aerial photographs which delineate the salt pond area such that we 
can determine where the buried trash would most likely be. 
Question. What are the prospec~ for the Water Isle Hotel and Beach Club? Are there plans to 
re-open this hotel? 
Answer. The Water Isle Hotel and Beach Club has not been repaired since it was damaged by 
Hurricane Hugo in 1989. Insurance money was collected to repair the damage. Plans are to 
repair the hotel once the lease issue has been resolved by the Department of the Interior. Mr. 
Couter said the required permits were applied for with the Government of the VIrgin Islands but 
they have been denied. (According to other residents of the island and the Government of the 
Virgin Islands, this is not the case. The required permits have never been applied for.) Ninety 
employees were associated with the operation of the hotel. The Island residents are anxious for 
the Hotel to be repaired. When in operation, the hotel provided many services to the residents. 
These include a more regular ferry service to St. Thomas, a restaurant, and gasoline for the island 
vehicles. 
Question. Describe the organization on Water Island. Is. there some local entity which governs? 
Answer. Water Island was leased in 1952 by the Department of the Interior to generate revenue 
for the Virgin Islands. The original agreement was a 40 year lease which ended in December 
1992. Mr. Edward C. McArdle, owner of Water Isle Hotel and Beaches is the single major lease 
holder with the Department of the Interior. On the southern two thirds of the island, the major 
lease holder has subleased the island to individuals. On the northern third of the island, the 
major lease holder has subleased the land to the Sprat Bay Association which in turn subleased 
Water Island, Fort Segarra (I02VI097700) 
U .S. Virgin Islands

Section 4.0 – Site History 
Page 4-48 
 
further to individuals. These are two distinct areas of the island. The Sprat Bay area maintains 
its own roads and has its own private beaches. The main portion of the island sets a "tax" to the 
residents living in that area to maintain roads and provide other services. The Water Island 
Association assesses these taxes and they act as a committee to determine how the money should 
be spent. There is no means to enforce payment of the taxes levied so it is strictly voluntary. 
They estiniate approximately 80% of the residents pay the required taxes. Mr. Couter described 
the Water Island Association as similar to a condominium association which has beautification 
committees and other committees to improve the standard of living for the residents. 
Question. Several homes are under construction at this time. Is that normal? 
Answer. There is increased construction right now because the people are concerned that unless 
they have a structure on the land they are leasing, they may not be offered the option to purchase 
the land: 
.. 
Question. Describe utilities available on Water Island. 
Answer. A reverse osmosis unit was used to supply water to the hotel when it was in operation. 
This unit was damaged during Hurricane Hugo and never repaired. The gun emplacement at the 
southern end of the island was sealed off and used to maintain the water supply for the hotel. The 
sealed off room is approximately 6 by 8 feet. Water was pumped to the gun emplacement building 
and gravity fed to the hotel. Individual homes have cisterns to catch rainwater. A sewage 
treatment plant to support the hotel was also damaged during Hurricane Hugo and never 
repaired. Individual homes use septic tanks for their sewage. 
Question. Describe transportation to and from Water Island to include the ferry, other water 
access ways (to include the dock near Flamingo bay), helicopter landing pads, etc. 
Answer. The ferry schedule was provided. It takes approximately 7 minutes to travel from Water 
Island to St. Thomas. There are approximately 5 round trips per day. Mr. Alex Donovan also 
operates the MV Saint. This barge is owned by the Hotel, but is used by the entire island to bring 
aggregate, construction and privat~ vehicles to Water Island. The deep water dock is the only area 
where heavy equipment can be barged on island. The depth of the water at the deep water dock 
was 12 feet but since Hurricane Hugo it has been reduced to 8-10 feet. The ferry dock at the 
western center of the island is constructed of wood and cannot handle significant weight. .There is 
a small area near the Marina area where helicopters have landed. It is not a paved area 
Question. Does the meteorology station still exist on Water Island? 
Answer. It was destroyed during Hurricane Hugo.

Mr. Alex Donovan of Water Isle Hotels and Beach Clubs and a civilian on the San Jose 
Project. 
Question. What was your position and area of responsibility during the San Jose Project? 
Answer. I was a civilian on the San Jose project. My primary responsibility was to transport, by 
boat, military personnel from St. Thomas to Water Island. 
Question. Do you know where the chemical items were stored to support the San Jose project? 
Answer. Because of the dangerous nature of the items, they were scattered as much as possible. 
The majority of the items were stored on St. Thomas in the munition bunkers at the old Navy 
submarine base. 
Question. Were there any storage areas on Water Island? Specifically were there any items 
stored out in the open to support the Surveillance tests? 
Answer. I believe items were stored in an area which is currently used as a maintenance area to 
support the hotel. This area is just West and adjacent to the main hotel building. Goats and 
pigeons were also housed near where the hotel stands today. Scrap from the San Jose project was 
stored near the bunkers at test area 1. To his knowledge this did not include chemical agent 
munitions type waste. 
. 
Question. Did you transport any munitions to Water Island? 
Answer. No. Chemical items were transported by military vessels. Mr. Donovan went on to say 
that he believed chemical agents were transferred to the munitions on St. Thomas near the W AP A 
building. He was not sure of the exact location but he suggested we talk to Mr. Osbourne Harvey, 
former chemist of the San Jose project. I indicated that I had been trying to get in contact with 
Mr. Harvey but had no success. Mr. Donovan said he thinks he may have passed away recently. 
Question. Describe the tests which were conducted on Water Island. 
Answer. The tests were secret and were not discussed by the military personnel on island. 
Question. To your knowledge, was there any testing conducted on St. Thomas. 
Answer. Not to my knowledge. 
Question. Do you know how to get in contact with anyone else who was involved in the San Jose 
Project on the Vrrgin Islands? 
Answer. Edith Barns, a lawyer on St. Thomas, has a sister who was a civilian on the San Jose 
project. Other St. Thomas residence who were involved in the San Jose project include Greny 
Adams, previous Lt. Governor Henry Millens and a Mr. ~orehead.

Interview with Ms. L.e. Keeler, President of Water Island Association, January 14, 1993. 
Question. Describe the Water Island Association and the authority they have on Water Island. 
Answer. The Water Island Association is comprised of elected officials. Tbey levee taxes on the 
Water Island residents to maintain the roads and provide other services. Tbey are voluntary taxes 
since there are no police on Water Island to enforce payment. Typically 80 percent of the taxes are 
paid. There are several committees to include finance, roads, beaches, coordination with the 
Vrrgin Island Government, lease hold resolution, safety, and noise (the airplanes flying to and from 
St Thomas fly over Water Island). They hold an association meeting annually. This years meeting 
is scheduled for January 23, 1993. They have requested a representative from the COE be present 
during the meeting.

Question. What are the residents feelings toward the Armys plans to investigate test areas from 
the San Jose project? 
Answer. The residents primary concern is the lease issue right now. The land and structures 
have been assessed and the residents are concerned that the cost for the land is too high. In 
addition, areas on the island which are thought to be less' desirable, have been assessed for a 
higher cost than the more desirable areas. The residents are interested in the Army plans on 
Water Island primarily because they are concerned it may delay turnover of the land to the 
residents. They want the Army to expedite their actions and are very interested in obtaining a 
schedule. 
Question. What is the population on Water Island? 
Answer. Ms. Keeler estimated during peak times there are approximately 200 residents on Water 
Island. About 50% of these people stay all year round. The peak -population occurs in Mid 
January. The majority of the people are retired, however. there is an ever increasing population of 
young people who work over on St. Thomas. There are a few residents that rent to tourists. This 
includes the Limestone Reef Terraces which has 10 rental units. There is also a bed and breakfast 
located on the island. 
Question. What interface do you have with the Government of the Virgin Islands? 
Answer. We are required to maintain our own roads. Very little services are provided from St. 
Thomas. Following Hurricane Hugo, electrical and telephone services were inoperative for several 
months. Emergency services are not provided by St. Thomas. Water Island is required to comply 
with Vu-gin Island regulations. 
Question. Are there any other residents· which we should talk to who were involved in the San 
Jose project. 
Answer. Recommend you talk to Mr. Walter Phillips, the original lease holder in 1952 when the 
island was turned over to the Department of Interior. 
At that time Ms. Keeler called Mr. Phillips and found thit he was available. She accompanied me 
on the interview and subsequently provided a tour of the island.

Interview with Mr. Walter Phillips, original lease holder of Water Island, January 14, 
1993. 
Question. When did you first arrive on Water Island? 
Answer. Mr. Phillips first came to Water Island in AprillMay of 1951. In 1951, he was requested 
to hire a watchman for the island because there was concerned that the island was being 
vandalized. In 1952, he and his wife carried cots on their backs to set up residence on Water 
Island. 
Question. Were there any items left from the Army testing? 
Answer. Not much. Most was cleared off the island. The Army is even looking in the wrong 
place if there were items left over. The area which was fenced off is not where items were left 
behind. 
Question. Where should the Army be looking? 
Answer. When we first arrived on Water Island, there were a few empty poison gas shells at the 
Flamingo Bay Warehouse Area. I don't know what happened to the empties. The navy was called 
in and they took them away. The army missed the area when they installed the fence. They 
should be looking closer to the shore. The Army should talk to Mr. George Perrot who was part of 
the Army Corp of Engineers at that time. He is currently a resident of St. Thomas. Very little 
testing was actually done on Water Island because the wind was so variable. Mr. Phillips does not 
expect the Army to find any thing and believes we are wasting a lot of money. Mr. Phillips went 
on to say he is very concerned about the lease situation. Apparently, he was involved in writing 
the lease in 1952 and it is now being interpreted differently from the original intent. He provided 
the attached draft letter to the Department of the Interior which vocalizes his concerns.

REAL ESTATE 
 
5.1 
CONFIRMED DOD OWNERSHIP 
 
Water Island (Fort Segarra) was acquired in 1942, for use as a harbor defense installation.  
In May 1948, the facilities on St. Thomas, which were formerly known as the Submarine 
Base and Fort Segarra, were taken over for use in continuing the topical testing of 
chemical weapons systems.  The name Fort Segarra refers to the World War II gun 
emplacements and structures built on Water Island in the early 1940s.  These facilities 
were declared excess in 1946. 
 
The Army’s Chemical Corps moved its San Jose Project (tropical test site) from Panama 
to the Virgin Islands in 1948.  Between 1948 and 1949, the Chemical Corps upgraded the 
previously constructed facilities.  By late 1949, the Chemical Corps became dissatisfied 
with the Virgin Islands and decided to shift operation to Dugway Proving Ground, Utah, 
even though chemical testing was ongoing. 
 
The San Jose Project continued to operate until May 1950, when the project was 
canceled.  All leases were terminated and properties that were owned in fee by the U.S. 
Army were declared excess and transferred to the Department of Interior. 
 
5.2 
POTENTIAL DOD OWNERSHIP 
 
No information was located during this research about any other DoD ownership or use 
other than that already identified. 
 
5.3 
SIGNIFICANT PAST OWNERSHIP OTHER THAN DOD 
 
No significant private ownership involving ordnance related activities was discovered 
during the research portion of the Archives Search Report. 
 
5.4 
CURRENT OWNERSHIP 
 
The Army turned over Water Island to the Department of the Interior (DOI) by indefinite 
revocable permit.  The DOI assigned the permit to the St. Thomas Development 
Authority (STDA) in 1951.  The STDA then leased Water Island to Water Island, Inc., a 
local development corporation.  On 11 July 1952, Public Law 511 (82nd Congress) 
authorized the transfer of Water Island from the DA to the DOI.  On 10 December 1952, 
the DOI executed a new lease to Water Island, Inc., which proceeded to develop the 
island into a resort with many subleases.  This lease expired on 31 December 1992.  The 
island was the site of a former tourist resort hotel destroyed by Hurricane Hugo in 1989. 
About 300 people typically inhabit the island during the winter season.  A map of the 
owners as of early 2001, provided by DOI, is included in this section.

SITE INSPECTION 
 
6.1 
GENERAL PROCEDURES AND SCOPE 
 
6.1.1 General Information 
 
Personnel from the St. Louis District, Corps of Engineers, listed below, traveled to the St. 
Thomas, US Virgin Island area to inspect the subject site as part of the DERP-FUDS 
Archives Search Report Process.  Ordnance items in several areas were also discussed. 
 
 
Thomas R. Freeman, Project Manager 
 
Randy Fraser, Site Safety Specialist 
 
Charlene Boecklen, Military Researcher 
 
The site inspection team met with Robert Bridgers, Jacksonville District FUDS Program 
Manager and Danny Mardis, Huntsville District FUDS Project Manager to discuss the 
site inspection.  Arrangements were obtained to water-shuttle the above-mentioned 
personnel to Water Island for the site inspection. 
 
6.1.2 Site Inspection 
 
After the appropriate site safety briefing, the team were transported to the deep-water 
dock on Water Island to begin the visual site inspection of various areas of concern.   
 
Flamingo Bay Landfill (Photos #01 – #05) 
 
This area was not utilized for the San Jose Project during the military occupation of 
Water Island.  The area came under concern following the discovery of two bombs in 
1966 by the Navy during excavation operations of the old salt-water pond in this area.  
An Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team from Roosevelt Roads responded and 
identified the items as M70 and M78 chemical bombs.  One of the bombs had been 
vented previously.  The EOD team vented the second bomb with no noticeable release. 
 
The landfill area is located immediately adjacent to the deep-water dock.  The area has 
been fenced, warning signs and investigated previously.  The area has been capped with a 
couple of feet of fill materials. 
 
Random sampling has been performed in the past with no evidence of problems.  The 
fencing is in bad condition and in dire need of repair in some locations.  The landfill is 
currently overgrown with vegetation. 
 
During previous site inspections a bomb had been discovered along the shoreline.  
Investigation at that time reveled the munitions had been filled with concrete by a resident 
and used to secure a mooring buoy.  The bomb was not located during the current site 
inspection.  A bomb-looking object was detected off-shore, but no positive identification

Page 6-2 
could made.  The bomb had been previously inspected and determined to be inert, 
therefore no further investigation was warranted. 
 
 
Test Area #4  (Photos #06 – #17) 
 
Test area #4, located on the southern portion of Water Island, was the location of several 
tests from 1948 – 1950.  All tests were conducted above ground and munitions were 
functioned statically.  The types and limited numbers of test items allowed for easy 
removal of debris.  Records indicate that debris was routinely removed and any agent 
remaining was neutralized with decontamination materials. 
 
The main area where the chemical agent testing was carried out has been removed to 
provide access to a marina.  The body of water that is used for the marina anchorage had 
formerly been separate from Flamingo Bay.  Beginning in the mid-1960s dredging 
operations had cut a channel right through the former Test Area 4.  The portions of Test 
Area 4 that are remaining are primarily south of this channel.  The remaining portions are 
being used as a dumping site for derelict automobiles and trucks and other unwanted trash 
items.  
 
No evidence remains of any military munitions or chemical agents.  No signs or fencing 
was noticed in this area indicating any chemical or munitions concern. 
 
Test Area #5  (Photos #18 – #20) 
 
This test area is located in the same vicinity as Test Area #4.  Test Area #5 was a 
vegetated portion of land on the south side of the former freshwater lagoon.  Records 
indicate that the only testing carried out at this location involved two M70 bombs 
containing HD (mustard).  Tests were conducted between November 1948 and February 
1949.  The area was selected because it provided a vegetated area with an offshore wind.  
The bombs were functioned (statically) above ground.  Similar to Test Area #4, it would 
be expected that debris had been collected, removed, with the area decontaminated to 
allow for future tests.  
 
This area of concern is currently the site of the present waste management location 
(junkyard).  The Water Island Association is currently in the process of organizing several 
different locations for recycling containers (i.e., paper, plastic; glass, etc.).  The containers 
are then transferred to trash trucks and removed from the island to a landfill on St. 
Thomas Island.   
 
During site inspection, no signs or fencing was discovered in this area.  No munitions 
debris or evidence of chemical agents was discovered in this former test area.  The area is 
currently very heavy vegetated outside of the recycling area.

Druif Point Gun Emplacement  (Photos #21 – #29) 
 
The remains of a gun emplacement (90mm) are located on Druif Point.  A two-tier 
concrete structure was identified.  The site was thoroughly inspected for OE; no evidence 
of munitions remained.   
 
This former gun emplacement is currently on the property of Elsie Keeler.   
 
Robert Bridgers, Danny Mardis, and Charlene Boecklen met with Collette Monroe 
(Water Island Association Chairperson), Louis Hill (Virgin Island Administrator for St. 
Thomas and Water Island) and Bill Shea (resident of Water Island) concerning the Water 
Island ASR and presentation to the public.  During this meeting, Randy Fraser and 
Thomas Freeman continued with the site inspection to the other former gun emplacement 
on Providence Point. 
 
Providence Point Gun Emplacements  (Photos, #30 - #31 & #34 – #38) 
 
An additional emplacement identified in historical documents as consisting of two 37 
(40) mm guns was positioned on Providence Point.  According to the above reference two 
structures were present.  At the site the team identified two structures.  One, obviously a 
gun emplacement, has been modified by the property owner and currently used as a 
covered patio connected to a swimming pool.  Located at the opposite end of the pool is 
the second structure that had been remolded and is now a changing room and storage.  It 
is suspected that this structure is part of the second gun position.  The owner (Alex 
Randall), contacted by phone, stated he is unaware of any munitions every being 
discovered or located in this area. 
 
Ammunition Magazines (Igloos)  (Photos 39 – 44) 
 
The team met with the group from Water Island and continued the site inspection with an 
examination of the ammunition magazines.  Mr. Shea was aware of the location of two of 
the bunkers and provided transportation for the team to the location.  A visual inspection 
of the bunkers was conducted.  The dimensions of the bunkers were believed to be 25’x 
40’  
 
One bunker had been modified and used by residents for a racquetball court.  The court 
was in a state of disrepair and obviously not used in quite some time.  In addition, both 
bunkers have been used as shelters during hurricanes.  The bunkers are intact, however 
the doors are deteriorated and unserviceable.  Adjacent to the bunkers is a sign identifying 
an archeological site (not associated with the bunkers).  The access road has been recently 
cleared of vegetation.  Speculation is that a local bike tour company is maintaining these 
old trails to provide a route for a historical tour of the island.   
 
A search for the third magazine identified on (plate 53 of TEC report) was unsuccessful.  
The team located the remains of a foundation, however, the size is not consistent with the

description.  The suspected area consists of thick vegetation, but this magazine was 
identified as a 25’x 40” structure, which should have been easily identifiable.  The team 
discussed this bunker with long time residents of Water Island.  Nobody was aware of a 
third bunker. 
 
No evidence of munitions or chemical agents was discovered in or around the bunkers. 
 
 
The site inspection team returned to St. Thomas via Mr. Shea’s skiff with arrangements 
being made for the completion of the site inspection the following day. 
 
 
DAY TWO 
 
First thing in the morning the team met with Mr. Shea at Crown Bay Marina.  Mr. Shea 
was providing the team with transportation over to Water Island, and while on the island 
he would escort the team on their exploration.  
 
Fort Segarra (Photos #45 – #57) 
 
First stop on the island was the two large Gun Emplacements on the former Fort Segerra.  
By construction completion, DoD deemed the emplacements obsolete, and never 
positioned the guns.  Residents have since used the site for private use.  After the war, a 
hotel had been built on the island and fresh water supplies were stored in the bunker.  
Supply lines still remain, as seen in photo #54.  The bunker is also being used as a storm 
shelter.  Currently, a local business (bicycle tour organizers) uses the site as a staging area 
for bicycles as seen in photo #57.  This site is the number one stop for tourists 
participating in a bicycle tour of Water Island. 
 
Central Observation Tower (photo 66) 
 
 The tower, a four-story concrete observation tower constructed by DOD sits on the 
highest point on the island.  It is situated near the entrance to a private home nearly 
destroyed during hurricane Hugo in 1989.  The home is unoccupied and in state of 
disrepair.  No OE was found or expected at this location. 
 
Possible Explosives Storage Area 
 
The team attempted to locate a building, or foundation identified on the 1950 map of the 
military buildings described as a possible dynamite and cap storage magazine.  This 
structure was to be located in a group of other military operations.  The map depicts only 
the approximate location, and no structures were located that could be identified as such.  
The area is overgrown and building debris was evident throughout.  No OE was found.

The team next met with a local resident, Mr. Cheeseborough, who has a collection of 
historical photos and articles that he invited the team to inspect and copy.  While we were 
there, he asked if we would examine a structure he thought might have been some type of 
gun position.  The team inspected the site (photo #69).  The use and origin of the site 
could not be determined, but it was apparent that it is relatively newer construction, not 
affiliated with DoD.  
 
The team then departed Water Island.

EVALUATION OF ORDNANCE POTENTIAL 
 
7.1 
CONVENTIONAL ORDNANCE ACTIVITIES 
Five areas on Water Island were associated with conventional ordnance activities.  Four 
were sites involved with the coastal defense operations established on the island during 
World War II.  These were the sites originally designated as Fort Segarra.  The fifth 
location was discovered through interviews conducted in regard to the Chemical Corps 
activities after World War II.  One of the military personnel assigned to the project 
indicated that he had destroyed bursters in Test Area 4. 
 
7.1.1 Battery 314 
The first area was Battery 314 that was constructed at the top of the hill in the southern 
portion of the island.  A complete gun emplacement for 2-6” guns was constructed.   
Besides the gun mounting structures, there were also underground compartments planned 
for use as ammunition and equipment storage and operations areas.  Based on the 
interview with Mr. Couter, these compartments were walled off and used to store water to 
support the Water Isle Hotel when it was in operation prior to Hurricane Hugo (Couter, 
1993).  Historical documents indicate that the guns were never installed and the 
emplacement was not ever operational. 
 
7.1.2 818th AMTB Battery 
Three of the ordnance related areas were associated with 818th AMTB Battery.  Although 
the military did not ever install any guns at Battery 314 they did have gun emplacements 
for the 818th AMTB (Anti-Motor Torpedo Boat) Battery.  The first was at Druif Point 
consisting of 2-90mm guns and 2-37mm guns.  The second was at Providence Point and 
had 2-37mm guns.  Directives indicated that these were to be installations with a suitable 
platform with a simple parapet and ammunition niches.  The third feature was an 
ammunition supply area located near Caroline Point.  This supply area was to consist of 
three bunkers.  However only two were ever completed.  There have been no reports any 
munitions items related to these activities being found on the island. 
 
7.1.3 Test Area 4 
Mr. Jimmie Mains, one of the military personnel on-site at the end of the project, 
indicated that he had destroyed excess bursters by detonation in Test Area 4.  He recalled 
that site used was between the road and the site of the current marina.  Bursters were 
detonated three boxes at a time.  The area of detonation appears to be location of the 
dredge cut that connected the former freshwater lagoon area with Flamingo Bay. 
 
7.2 
CHEMICAL WARFARE MATERIAL ACTIVITIES 
 
Historical documents obtained by the USACE St. Louis District after the initial research 
efforts indicate that the Plan for the Dis-establishment of the San Jose Project dictated 
several provisions that Chemical Corps was to undertake prior to their leaving this 
location.  A section of this overall plan, labeled “Plan H, Decontamination Clearance 
Certificate” and dated 2 May 1950 stipulated that the Chemical Corps would accomplish 
Water Island, Fort Segarra (I02VI097700) 
U.S. Virgin Islands

Page 7-2 
decontamination of all land, buildings and facilities to be abandoned.  If any areas, such 
as burial pits, could not be decontaminated then they would be fenced to protect against 
unauthorized entry.  The fence would be four-foot hog wire, topped with three strands of 
barbed wire on galvanized steel posts.  Permanent warning signs should have placed 
along the fence at intervals not to exceed 100 feet and at such locations that they would 
be visible when approaching the fence from any direction.  The onsite Chemical Corps 
personnel were also required to provide a decontamination clearance certificate.  The 
overall plan mandated that the onsite personnel carry out these requirements because of 
their knowledge of the site and its operations. 
 
A memorandum, entitled “Status of Close-out Operations”, dated 13 July 1950 stated that 
all munitions, toxics, and experimental items, such as fuzes, etc. were either shipped or 
disposed of in accordance with Plans A and D prior to 1 July 1950.  Plans A and D were 
subsections of the previously mentioned Dis-establishment Plan that covered the disposal 
of toxic munitions and the disposition of VT fuzes, high explosives, smoke grenades, 
bursters, boosters, and other munitions of war, respectively.  This same 13 July 1950 
memorandum mentioned that the Chemical Corps would be shortly submitting the 
Certificate of Clearance for Water Island.  No copy of this certificate has been found to 
date. 
 
Circumstances that developed during the implementation of these various plans raised the 
need for concern and diligence.  Plan A, Annex A, allowed for the disposal of some of the 
chemical agent munitions items by sea dumping south of the island of Puerto Rico.  
During this dumping operation on 15 May 1950, fuzes in their shipping containers floated 
to Puerto Rico and subsequently resulted in the deaths of two persons.  All items were 
supposed to have been removed from their containers.  An immediate investigation 
placed responsibility for this incident on the San Jose Project Commanding Officer (CO).  
A memorandum dated 25 May 1950, among other things, admonished the CO that the 
remainder of the closeout activities should not reflect the lack of sense of duty that the sea 
dump did and reminded him that disciplinary action was still pending.  This indicated that 
these closeout operations would be under great scrutiny.  This scrutiny would have been 
going on during the period leading up to the 13 July 1950 memorandum mentioned 
above. 
 
Subsequent to the completion of the testing program the Chemical Corps was required to 
identify any areas that might remain contaminated and fence them off.  Appropriate 
signage was also required for these sites.  Interviews obtained by SAIC with longtime 
Water Island inhabitants (Messrs. Couter and Phillips) and onsite inspections by various 
USACE and contractor personnel have not reveal the presence of any such fenced and 
signed areas. 
 
Another consideration, however, for this former saltwater pond is the fact that no fencing 
or signage as described in the project closeout documents have been found in this area.  
This would tend to lead to the conclusion that the Chemical Corps did not considered the 
items left in this area as contaminated.

In summary, M78 and M70 chemical bomb bodies have been observed in this area in 
1966.  Based on EOD observations the bombs were either already vented or did not 
release any material when the Navy vented them.  Subsequent to that time a considerable 
amount of fill material has been placed over the site of the bomb bodies.  Based on the 
historical documentation and interpretation of aerial photography it cannot be ascertained 
that no chemical agent remains in this area.  However, if the bombs have been vented and 
underwater since 1966 the effectiveness of any remaining agent should have been greatly 
reduced. 
 
7.2.1 Individual Test Area Histories 
The US Army Chemical Corps used various portions of Water Island during May 1948 
through August 1950 for chemical agent testing under the San Jose Project Test Program.  
These portions were designated as Test Areas 1 through 8.  Another site on Water Island 
associated with these activities is the Flamingo Bay Landfill area. 
 
Locations of all sites are shown on Plate 10 of the Historical Photo Analysis prepared by 
the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Topographic Engineering Center.   
 
The following paragraphs present the history of the test sites of the San Jose project on 
the U.S. Virgin Islands. For each test area, the tests that were conducted and the history of 
the site since the San Jose project are summarized.  Plates in the Historical Photo 
Analysis depict conditions at the various test sites from the time of use through 1999. 
 
7.2.2 Test Areas 1, 2, 3, and 7   
Test areas 1 and 7 are located on the northwestern and northeastern comers, respectively, 
of Water Island.  Test areas 2 and 3 are located on the western shore in the middle of 
Water Island.  All of these test areas are located downwind of the military office used to 
support the project.  No records were found which indicate any tests were ever conducted 
in these four areas.  The test plan for the M70 bomb test identified test areas 1 and 7 as 
test areas.  The test report that presented the final results of the test and showed 
contamination contours for each area indicated that the tests had actually been conducted 
in test areas 4, 5, 6, and 8.  In addition, Mr. Jimmie Mains and Mr. Luke West indicated 
during their interviews that no tests had been conducted on the northern end of the island.  
Mr. Mains, who was stationed full-time on Water Island, was not aware that roads existed 
leading to that end of the island. 
 
7.2.3 Test Area 4 
Test Area 4, located in the southern portion of Water Island, was a broad, flat portion of 
land separating Flamingo Bay and the former freshwater lagoon.  Test area 4 straddled the 
road leading to the Flamingo Bay area.  Based on the 1954 aerial photographs, the area on 
the north side of the read was a cleared area. The area to the south side of the road was 
primarily covered with vegetation, with the exception of a small cleared area. 
 
Chemical Corps tests carried out in this area included the following:

Section 7.0 – Evaluation of Ordnance Potential 
Page 7-4 
 
Test No. 136 Test of M70 Bomb, HD filled, static fired performed between 
November 1948 and February 1949 (4 items in Area 4). 
 
Test No. 176 Test of a Single E23 Smoke Pot, HD-filled, functioned statically in 
open, on land (13 items) performed during July and August 1949. 
 
Test No. 166 Test of Single E23 Smoke Pot, GA-filled, functioned statically in 
open, on land (4 items) performed during September through November 1949. 
 
Test No. 179 Test of Single E23 Smoke Pot, HQ-filled, functioned statically in 
open, on land (2 items) performed during February 1950.  Although a test area is 
not specifically indicated for this test, Area 4 seems to be the only site used after 
February 1949. 
 
Aerial photographs from various years and photographs taken circa 1950 by Mr. William 
Wapp during the time of testing are included in the Historical Photo Analysis performed 
by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Topographic Engineering Center.  Plate 
16 of the Historical Photo Analysis shows the overall conditions at Test Area 4 during the 
time of testing.  Analysis of the aerial photographs over time shows the openness of this 
test area and the relative ease of access from the main encampment and storage area.  The 
prevailing winds provided the desired airflow patterns across this site for this type of 
testing. 
 
All of the tests listed above were carried out on the surface and were functioned statically.  
The types and limited numbers of test items used allowed easy removal of the debris after 
the testing.  Additionally because the Chemical Corps wanted to use this area again it was 
imperative that items from previous test be removed so as to not interfere with 
subsequent tests.  Interviews (obtained by SAIC) with personnel present on the site during 
the Chemical Corps activities (Messrs. Mains and West) indicate that the debris was 
routinely removed and if any agent remained it was neutralized with decontamination 
materials.  Metal scrap from the items may have been disposed of nearby. 
 
Records indicate that phase I and 11 of the static, HD-filled, M70 bomb test (SJPRN 136) 
and phases I through V of the static, HD-filled, E-23 smoke pot test (SJPRN 176) were 
conducted in the open in test area 4.  According to the interview with Mr. Mains, GA 
smoke pot tests were also conducted in this area. The decontamination truck would be 
situated in the cleared area on the south side of test area 4 while the test was being 
conducted. In addition, at the end of the San Jose project, burster charges were detonated 
and destroyed in this area (Mains, 1993). 
 
The northern area of Test Area 4, where the tests are believed to have been conducted, is 
relatively clear of debris and covered with light vegetation.  In 1966, this area was 
dredged to open the adjacent pond into a marina and much of the test area was removed at 
Water Island, Fort Segarra (I02VI097700) 
U.S. Virgin Islands

Page 7-5 
that time. This area is relatively flat and approximately 2 to 3 feet above sea level. A 
small concrete pad (30 by 30 feet) is located along the shore of this site. 
 
Water Island residents have used the southern portion of test area 4 as a junkyard.  There 
are scrapped vehicles, household appliances, containers of unknown substances, and an 
empty tanker truck on the site.  
 
Beginning in 1966, significant changes were initiated in Test Area 4 where the actual 
chemical agent tests had been undertaken.  Dredging operations began removal of the 
land separating the freshwater lagoon from Flamingo Bay.  The former lagoon area was 
being developed into a protected marina.  Aerial photographs, contained in the Historical 
Photo Analysis Report, show the changes in this area between 1966 and 1999.  By the 
time of the 1999 photograph (Plate 37) the entire portion of the Test Area 4, on which the 
tests had been carried out, has been essentially removed. 
 
In summary, Test Area 4 was used during four testing programs that involved 23 items.  
These items contained distilled mustard agent (HD), tabun (GA), or sesqui-mustard agent 
(HQ).  All items were fired statically on the ground surface.  The same location in Test 
Area 4 was repeatedly used.  The purpose of this testing was to determine the dispersion 
capabilities of the various items and how the agent would be spread through the air.  
Ground contamination was not part of this testing program.  Former Chemical Corps 
personnel report that all test items were removed from the test area and any agent 
remaining in them was neutralized.  The remaining scrap metal would have been disposed 
of locally on the island.  These mustard agents could remain vesicant on soil for about 
two weeks.  The tabun has a similar persistency period. 
 
7.2.4 Test Area 5 
This test area is located in the same general vicinity of Water Island as Test Area 4.  Test 
Area 5 was a vegetated portion of land on the south side of the former freshwater lagoon.  
Historical documents indicate that the only testing carried out at this location was a part 
of Test No. 136-Test of M70 Bomb, HD filled, static fired performed between November 
1948 and February 1949.  Phases 3 and 4 of this test involved that static firing of an M70 
bomb, filled with HD, emplaced vertically with the nose down.  Test Area 5 was used 
because it provided a vegetated area with an offshore wind.  A total of two M70 bombs 
were fired in this area. 
 
Similar to Test Area 4 these bombs were fired on the surface allowing for easy cleanup 
after the testing.  As in the other dispersion tests carried out on Water Island, samplers 
would have been set up to measure the amount and concentration of agent being 
generated from the M70 bomb.  Very little agent would present on the soil, but as 
mentioned before this mustard agent remains vesicant on the soil for about two weeks. 
 
A cleared area around a ground depression is evident in the central portion of this area 
from the earliest aerial photographs.  Subsequent photographs show the increasing use of 
this site as an apparent trash dump.  Based on the January 1993 site visit, test area 5 is 
Water Island, Fort Segarra (I02VI097700) 
U.S. Virgin Islands 
Archives Search Report - Findings 
Section 7.0 – Evaluation of Ordnance Potential 
Page 7-6 
still covered with vegetation, and the depressed area still exists.  Some trash is visible on 
the surface. According to Mr. Couter, this area was used to dispose of debris generated 
from Hurricane Hugo. 
 
Closeout operations circumstances would have affected Test Area 5 much the same as 
Test Area 4.  Again no fencing or signage has been reported in this area.   
 
7.2.5 Test Area 6. 
Test Area 6 is located on the eastern shore in the southern part of Water Island.  Records 
indicate that phases VII and VIII of the static HD-filled M70 bomb test (SJPRN 136), in 
an open area with onshore winds, was the only test conducted in this area.  Based on the 
1954 aerial photograph, it appears that the only open areas in this test area are located 
near the shore. 
 
This site has been significantly developed along the ridgeline since the San Jose Project.  
The lower part of the site is along the rocky shoreline and is undeveloped and heavily 
overgrown with vegetation.  There does not appear to be any significant debris on the 
surface.  Test conducted in this area were in an open area with onshore winds. It is most 
likely that these tests occurred in the undeveloped area near the shore. 
 
7.2.6 Test Area 8 and Toxic Storage Yard  
Test area 8 was located in the vicinity of the ruins of the former Water Isle Hotel. The 
1954 aerial photograph indicates there were military buildings within this test area at that 
time. According to existing records, phases V and VI of the static, HD-filled, M70 bomb 
test (SJPRN 136) was conducted in a wooded area with offshore winds within this test 
area. 
 
Test area 8 has been significantly disturbed since the San Jose testing. The former bar and 
dining area for the Water Isle Hotel and some support facilities were located in this area. 
 
Based on information obtained during the interviews with Mr. Jimmie Mains, Mr. Luke 
West, and Mr. Alex Donovan, the toxic storage yard was located where the Water Isle 
Hotel was formerly situated.  T-3 H/HD-filled bombs and aged, CK-filled, M70, M78, 
and M79 bombs involved in the surveillance tests were stored outside in this area, and all 
other items where stored inside buildings (SJPRN 89 AND 135).  Four military personnel, 
including Mr. Jimmie Mains, were stationed on Water Island 5 days per week, 8 hours 
per day, to maintain the chemical munitions.  Their office was located adjacent to the 
storage area.  During his interview, Mr. Mains indicated that the items in the storage yard 
were carefully maintained since the workers understood the hazard and were in close 
proximity to the storage area.  Agent transfer operations to support the tests were also 
conducted in this area (Mains, 1993). 
 
The storage area for test animals was located near the toxic storage yard on Water Island.  
Approximately 1,050 feet of fence had been strung to furnish separate corrals for fresh 
and contaminated goats.  The total area for both fresh and contaminated goats was 
Water Island, Fort Segarra (I02VI097700) 
U.S. Virgin Islands

Section 7.0 – Evaluation of Ordnance Potential 
Page 7-7 
approximately 2 acres.  Sufficient cages were constructed to accommodate 2,000 pigeons.  
These facilities were constructed by May 1949 when the test goats arrived (SJPPR 66 and 
68).  SJPPR 74 indicates that work was nearing completion on the remodeling of the 
change house, which was also located in this area on Water Island.  The new arrangement 
was thought to contribute to the safety in dressing and undressing of personnel working in 
or around contaminated areas. 
 
This area has been significantly disturbed since the San Jose Project.  Formerly the main 
hotel building was located in this area. 
 
7.2.7 Flamingo Bay Landfill Area 
The Flamingo Bay landfill area is located in the southwest comer of Water Island. During 
the San Jose project, the Flamingo Bay deep-water dock was used to deliver equipment 
and munitions. Personnel were transported to and from Water Island using the existing 
dock at the center of the island (Mains, 1993). 
 
The Flamingo Bay Landfill Area was not a test area during the San Jose Project 
operations on Water Island.  Events that occurred in 1966 raised the possibility that 
chemical agent filled munitions might be in this area.  In 1966 during excavation 
operations in the vicinity of an old salt-water pond in this area, at least two bombs were 
uncovered.  The bombs surfaced during a mucking operation at an approximate depth of 
20 feet.  US Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal personnel from Roosevelt Roads 
responded to the discovery and identified the items as M70 and M78 chemical bombs.  
One of the bombs had been vented while the other had not.  The Navy vented this bomb 
without any noticeable release. 
 
Historical information contained in the Plan for the Dis-establishment of the San Jose 
Project indicated that 29 M78 bombs filled with the chemical agent CK had been 
disposed of during the sea dump on 15 May 1950.  Analysis of the monthly progress 
reports for the San Jose Project stated that 33 M78 bombs had been used in surveillance 
tests in the Toxic Storage Yard.  Documents revealed that there had problems with four of 
the bombs.  One is listed as having been destroyed but three are reported as being 
eliminated from observation because the agent had apparently solidified inside the bomb. 
 
The agent CK, cyanogen chloride, is very quick acting with a short persistency period.  In 
storage the liquid agent will polymerize to form the solid cyanuric chloride that is 
corrosive.   
 
The M78 bomb identified by the Navy in the Flamingo Bay Landfill Area could very well 
be one of the four unaccounted for items.  The fact that the Navy reported one of the 
uncovered bombs had been vented would be consistent with then accepted procedures to 
render the bomb safe before disposal.  San Jose Project Report No. 67 indicates that all of 
the unaccounted for M78 bombs had been vented.  Three of them were found to contain 
between 98.8% and 99.4% Total Non-volatile Residue.

U.S. Virgin Islands

Section 7.0 – Evaluation of Ordnance Potential 
Page 7-8 
M70 bombs had also been used in surveillance testing for the CK agent.  Additionally 
these bombs had been used in the static firing test with mustard agents. During the sea 
dump at the end of the project a number of empty M70 had been jettisoned. 
 
Historical aerial photographs beginning in 1947 show the presence of a saltwater pond in 
the vicinity of this land fill area.  Over the years the pond is gradually filled in.  
Photographs before and after the time of military use show relatively easy access to this 
site.  The pond would have provided a ready disposal area for unwanted military items. 
 
This area has also been used as a civilian landfill since that time. Compacted vehicles and 
other trash were disposed of in the salt pond in a single layer and covered with dirt fill. 
Subsequent layers of trash with a dirt cover were disposed of in this area until the salt 
pond was filled.  The original salt pond was thought to have been about 10 feet deep. 
Trash was also burned in this area until 1982, when U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency (USEPA) regulations precluded open-air burning (Couter, 1993). 
 
The bombs could have been located anywhere above that depth. The bombs were reported 
to be the size of small butane tanks with dimensions of 18 to 24 inches in diameter.  A 
letter report of this incident from the Water Isle Colony Club to the DOI is shown below. 
 
The location and size of the old salt pond can be distinguished from the 1954 aerial 
photograph.  The salt pond was approximately 75 feet from the shore in the Flamingo Bay 
area, approximately 50-feet wide by 100-feet long lying parallel to the coast.  It appears 
that the salt pond was adjacent to the existing warehouse in the Flamingo Bay area.

In September 1991, a fence was installed in the Flamingo Bay area by Ebasco Services, 
Incorporated, under contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), 
Huntsville Division. The decision to build this fence resulted from the bombs that were 
surfaced in 1966. On the northern face of the fence, several of the fence postholes were 
terminated at approximately 3 feet due to encountering gray ash and a black oily 
substance. In the southwestern corner, one of the holes was terminated at 2 1/2 feet when 
an unknown, orange-colored, waxy substance was encountered (Ebasco, 1991). 
 
During the SAIC site visit in January 1993, it was noted that the Flamingo Bay landfill 
area has a warehouse structure that was damaged during Hurricane Hugo. There is surface 
debris and scrapped vehicles throughout the fenced-in area. In addition, there is debris 
along the shoreline.  According to. Mr. Couter, the concrete-filled bomb in this area 
surfaced during Hurricane Hugo.

During his interview, Mr. Walter Phillips indicated that he thought the Army is looking in 
the wrong place for CWM left from the San Jose project. When Mr. Phillips first arrived 
on Water Island in 1951, there were a few empty poison gas shells at the Flamingo Bay 
warehouse area. He did not know what happened to these shells. He thought the Navy 
was called in and took them away. According to Mr. Phillips, the Army installed the 
fence in the wrong area.  If items remain, he believes they would be located closer to the 
shore. 
 
7.2.8 Areas off Water Island 
 
7.2.8.1 Western End of St Thomas.  
On the west end of St. Thomas, 2095 acres, beginning at the isthmus between Santa 
Maria Bay and Perseverance Bay, was leased for testing. In November 1948, 9-1/2 tons of 
fencing arrived to be used to isolate property held on the western end of the island. 
 
Based on existing records, there were two tests conducted on St. Thomas. The first was a 
surveillance test involving fifty 4-pound E-1 particulate bombs. These inert (no 
explosives) bombs, filled with simulant, never developed leaks during the tests and were 
shipped back to Camp Detrick at the end of the test (SJPRN 132 and SJPPR No.62). Test 
reports indicate these tests were conducted on St. Thomas. Due to the innocuous nature of 
the tests, they may have been conducted in the administrative area in the submarine base. 
 
During the second test, CG gas was emitted from ton containers to determine penetration 
characteristics of gasproof shelters (SJPRN 120). A gasproof shelter was constructed in 
two separate areas on the west end of St. Thomas to support the two phases of the test. 
Figures 2-6 and 2-7 show the setup for these tests. Phase I was completed near a road 20 
feet south of a weather station (SJPRN 102).  
 
USACMDA personnel made a site visit to the western end of St. Thomas in January 
1993. Other than one housing development in the Fortuna area and a Bible college at the 
far west end of the island along Route 30, the population at this end of the island is 
sparse. Various estates are located at this end of the island to include Perseverance, 
Botany Bay, Bordeaux, Catherina's Hope, Runnels, and Bethesda. Geographic features in 
this area are very similar to those photographed in the test area during phase II of SJPRN 
102. 
 
7.2.8.2 Submarine Base, St. Thomas.  
The submarine base in St. Thomas was the location of the administrative facilities used to 
support the San Jose project.  The laboratory was the only place within the administrative 
area where chemical agents were present (Mains, 1993).  This facility has since been torn 
down.

7.3 DISPOSITION OF MUNITIONS 
 
7.3.1 Conventional Ordnance 
7.3.1.1 There is no indication that any munitions related to the coastal defense operations 
on Water Island have ever been discovered there. 
 
7.3.1.2 Mr. Mains indicated that at the termination of the San Jose Project, all items, with 
the exception of excess burster charges, were removed from Water Island and either 
ocean dumped or sent back to the states for storage.  At the end of the project, Mr. Mains 
was responsible for detonating excess burster charges.  Hundreds of these items were 
detonated in Area 4, between the road and currently existing marina.  Three boxes at a 
time were typically detonated (Mains, 1993). 
 
7.3.2 Disposition of the Chemical Agent Munitions 
The disposition of the chemical munitions and personnel at the end of the San Jose 
project is detailed in the Plan for Dis-establishment, included in Section 4. The plan 
designates which munitions were dumped at sea and which items were shipped to the 
Army Chemical Center, Maryland; the Midwest Chemical Depot, Arkansas; and the 
Dugway Proving Ground, Utah. 
 
Many of the items were dumped at the Naval Ammunition Dumping Ground in the 
Caribbean Sea south of Vieques Island on 15 May 1950.  Mr. Mains participated in the 
sea dump and provided the photograph in the SAIC report. 
 
The following observations can be drawn from the list of munitions, which were removed 
from the San Jose project on Water Island and interviews with military personnel 
involved in the San Jose project. 
 
7.3.2.1 Twenty-nine CK-filled 500-pound M78 bombs were removed from Water Island 
and ocean dumped.  These are the only CK-filled M78 bombs recorded to have been 
removed at the termination of the San Jose project. As discussed in paragraph 2.1.5 d., 33 
CK-filled M78 bombs were involved when surveillance test number 135 was initiated. 
The contents of four of these bombs were found to be largely solid and further sampling 
on these items was not continued. It is noted that one of the four bombs was destroyed. 
The final disposition of all four bombs is not provided in the memorandum in appendix F. 
 
7.3.2.2 The surveillance tests also involved seven CK-filled M79 bombs, fifteen 
CK-filled M70 bombs, two HD-filled T-3 bombs, and two H-filled T-3 bombs. Removal 
of these items at the close of the San Jose project can be accounted for.  One hundred and 
twenty-four CK-filled M70 bombs and eight CK-filled M79 bombs were ocean dumped.  
One hundred and sixty-eight HD-filled and sixty-six H-filled T-3 bombs were shipped to 
the Army Chemical Center in Maryland.

7.3.2.3 The test items used in four of the nine tests were smoke pots filled with GA, HD, 
and HQ.  The disposition of smoke pots is not indicated.  At least 23 smoke pots were 
involved in test on Water Island.

CARTRIDGE, 37mm, PRACTICE, M55Al 
Complete round. This round was designed to simulate 
the M54, HE Shell for practice firing. 
Cartridge cases. MIAI gun, M17 is "Standard", 
M17B 1 is "Substitute Standard". The Mk IIIA2 is 
"Standard" with the Mk IIIA2B 1 being the "Substitute 
Standard" 
Primer. M23A2, 20-grain, Percussion Primer is 
"Standard" for both rounds. Some rounds maybe found 
with M23Al primer. 
Projectile. The projectile is of the same length, weight, 
and contour as the HE Shell M54. It is made of three 
parts. The body has no filler, but is made to the same 
size and weight as the high-explosive M54. A tracer 
cavity is machined into the base. Of course, since no 
filler is used, the tracer does not have shell destroying 
qualities. The tracer consists of red tracer cavity 
composition and igniting compound closed into the 
tracer cavity. The Fuze, dummy, M50, is entirely inert 
and is made in one piece of cast aluminum. It is of the 
same size, shape, and weight as the M56 Fuze. 
Identification. The complete rounds can be identified for the MIA2, 37-mm Antiaircraft gun by its 
size and the extracting groove in the cartridge case. The complete round can be identified for he 
M4 (aircraft) gun by its shorter cartridge case (5.69 inches) with its extracting flange. Aside from 
the blue painting and white stenciling on the projectile, it may be distinguished as the Practice 
Round M55Al by the Dummy Fuze M50. The complete round measures 12.81 inches in length 
and weighs 2.62 pounds

CARTRIDGE, 37mm, HE, FIXED, M54 
WITH SELF DESTRUCT TRACER 
Cartridge cast. The MI7 Case is "standard", the MI7B I is "Substitute Standard" 
Primer. The M23A2 is "Standard"" Some rounds on hand may be primed with the M23A I 
Propelling c!uJrge. A muzzle velocity of 2.600 feet per second is imparted to the projectile by 6 ounces of 
FNHpowder. 
Projectile. The projectile M54. as fired. weighs 1.34 pounds and is about 5.9 inches long. It is the same 
projectile as the M54 fired from the M4 Antiaircraft Gun. The projectile consists of three components: the 
body itself protrudes from the cartridge case. The base of the projectile is very thick (over I 1/2 inches) 
and is tapered for streamlining purposes. The cavity for the shell-destroying tracer is machined into this 
heavy base. The bursting charge of 0.1 0 pound of tetryl is pressed into the body in two increments: a base 
pellet and a main charge. TIle shell destroying tracer assembly consists of a quantity of tracer composition, 
an ignited charge, a celluloid closing cup, a relay igniting charge and a relay pellet. When the ttacer 
composition is almost completely burned. it initiates the relay pellet and in tum detonates the tetryl base 
pellet of the bursting charge . and finally the main bursting charge itself. 
Fuze. Point Detonating. M56. Since the High~xplosive Round M54 is required to function on impact 
with light materials such as those used in planes. a supersensitive fuze is needed. A super- sensitive fuze is 
one which will detonate on very slight impact such as with a double thickness of airplane fabric. The M56 
is both supersensitive and superquick because the firing pin is protected only by a very thin aluminum 
closing cup and rests. at the time of impact, right on the detonator which initiates an almost uninterrupted 
train of detonating explosives. 1be body of the fuze is divided into three parts; the body loading assembly. 
the head assembly. and cap. The booster of tetryl is pressed into a cavity in the lower part of the body. 
The complete round of M54. HE Shell can be identified by the presence of the M56 Fuze.

APC, MS1, u ed in the 37 -mrn Antitank and Tank Guns 
M3, M3A I, MS, and M6. The main difference are in 
the cartridge ca e and in the fact that the MS9 Shot does

Primer. 
Propelling charge. A propelling charge of 0.31 pound 
of FNH powder give the projectile a muzzle velocity of 
2,050 feet per econd. 
Projectile. A ide from the following differences, the 
projectile i the arne a the SHOT, APC, MS1, used in 
the Tank and Antitank Gun M3, M3A 1, MS, and M6. 
The chambering of the Antiaircraft Gun M 1 A2 doe not 
permit the u e of a wind hield. The MS9 Antiaircraft 
round contain more tracer composition in the base than 
doe the MS1 Antitank round. The MS9 projectile is a 
trifle lighter than the MSI. 
Identification. The complete round may be identical for 
the antiaircraft group by the ize and extracting groove of 
the cartridge ca e. The black painting with white tencil 
and the armor-piercing cap di tinguishe it as SHOT, 
APC, MS9. The complete round is 12.76 inche long

CARTRIDGE, 40mm, AP-T, M 81 
General. This complete round was designed for use against 
armored targets. It is peculiar as an armor-piercing 
projectile in that it has a windshield but no armor cap. 
Cartridge Case. The M25 Case is "Standard"; the M25Bl 
Case is "Substitute Standard". 
Propelling Charge. The propelling charge consists of 1 0.4 
ounces of FNH powder held loosely in the cartridge case. 
Primer. The M23A2, 20 grain, Percussion Primer is a 
standard component of the M81 Round. 
Projectile. The body of the projectile is machined from bar 
steel and is hardened to produce armor-piercing qualities. 
The ogive has a small radius and is continued to a point. A 
recess for a copper rotating band and a cannelure to receive 
the cartridge case crimps are machined into the body. The 
projectile is streamlined by the addition of a windshield 
which has a rounded nose. The windshield is soldered to a 
sheet metal adapter which is soldered and crimped to the 
nose of the body. A cavity is machined into the base of the

SHELL, 90mm, FIXED, PRACTICE, MS8 
General. This complete round was originally developed as 
the High-explosive Round M 58. Due to the thin body 
walls, prematures rcsulled. As a result. the filler was 
washed out and a substitute fill er of sand and a black 
powder spotting charge was substilUted. The round, thus, 
has been designated a practice round. 
Projectile. The projectile is of steel conSlruction. It is 
streamlined, with a boat-wi I base. The fu ze continues the 
exterior streamline of the projectile. The shell has a base 
plate welded to its basco 
Compollenrs. A complete round of M58 Practice 
Ammunition consists of the following: An M58 Projectile 
with 2. 11 pounds of inell filler and 0.56 pound black 
powder spouing charge in pellet fann; an M20 Booster and 
an M43A2 Fuze; and an M 19 cartridge Case with a 
propellant charge or NH smokeless powder.

1. 
We have enclosed' the INPR for the former Fort Segarra for 
appropriate action. 
The site is. eligible for DERP-FUDS. 
The 
ordnance project is eligible forDEltP-FUDS. 
Please expedite your 
approval. 
2. 
The INPR as submitted propose~ an ordnan~esite inspection. 
The Risk Assessment Code ranked o~t as a RAC 1, indicating the' 
need for emergency action to ~itigate the hazard or protected 
personnel. 
. 
3. 
We propose to proceed di~ectly to a removal action with the 
intent of findin9 andr~mo~ing the suspect chemical ordnance. 
Such action is necessary since we would ~ave to remove anyche~i­
'ca: s:.l!"e~y material found, e\7'.en if we limited our »roposal to a 
si te insp.ection.

in order to complete this removal action. 
We estimate the co~ts 
of tnis .action to be S~OO,OOO.

J dangerou.s to all the 1n.babitants of the island. 
I. 'Ihe ..,ery tact that field experi_nts wi th poisonous gases an~ 
biolog1cal weapons are to be Jlll.de indicates the uncertainty of the behavior 
Ctr t_.N it.us and the control of S&ll8. 
-l. '11; 1s reasouble to presUJDe that at any time for the purpose of 
8eCNc1811d securi1;y the Army Jdgbt I18ke the island of St. ThoJlllls a "Restr1ct-
ed Area" and _.Ice 110 80 ODel"OUS for tourists and/or others to enter here that 
110 would be fatal to all investments and the economic Ufe of our IIOre than 
14,000 American citizens on St. 'l'b.omas. 
5. 
We 'could c1 te inn..erable further s1tlatiOlls and parti culars but 
~l1.e_ t.ll.e foregoing generalization to be suffic1ent. 
we therefore request tbat, before any fm-ther steps are taken to locate 
ttle San l08e Proj.ct pel'lBDently in th18 area and its storage and testing 
gr'oml4s on the 18lan4 of St.' 'lbOJDaS, the _ tter be g1 ven the IIOst careful con-
sideration. 
As a site tor the housing and adJl11n1strative personnel aDd otn CBS 
of the San 10s. "'roject. st. Thoas and the city of (hulotts Amalie (population 
14,000) mi~t be considered as an appropriate location 1n time of peace; in t1JDe 
of war, even thos facilities would be a _jor bomb1ng and attaclc target. But as 
a col18Qouct1ve thoUBht and suggesUon, the nearby island of culebra is already 
a restricted area; it is sparsely settled; has a pertect harbor; it bas no city 
or town, the large8t 8ettlement being about a f .. hWldredj 1 t is already given 
over to oattle-ra1a1ng pr~llyj has no tourist trade, no buaineases, an 1n-
..,ested IIIOney; and it already is under the Amer1can flag and used for the type 
of war aneOU'Yer8 tbat would fi 10 1n with pOisonous @BS and biological. warfare

The Army or the United State. today allowed the releaae or the news 
ot the exi.tence and of the purpo.es or the station tor the .tudy of 
poi.onous ga... e.tabli.hed in thi. plac., that tor a lang tille had 
b.en kept secret.

Th. ·san Jos. Project" which is. the Daae ot the experiaeDtal .tation 
is at the presut aOll8Dt 111 the proces8 of reconstruction on the 
extreme southeaat of. at. Tho .. s, the major of the Virgin Islands» 
baYing be. traDsferred here trom Panaaa, wh_ that republic refused 
to ran .. the leaae or baae. to the United States in its territory. 
The purpose ot the station ia to determine the .trect of the gases, 
tbe ettlc~ency of the equipment of detense against the same, and the 
qaality of the .. aue 'a.... At the aame time there will be axperillents 
made in "biological weapons-. 
Th. 1DstallatioDa are exceptional, they allow .the creation at will 
or tbe Meteorole,1cal.conditiona that are nec •• sary for each experiment. 
The island, on which has already been accualatecl great quantities of 
poisonous gas •• to be tested, i. protected by installation. of anti-
aircraft artillary, which were constructed during the war, whe it was 
used as a a.bmarine ba... 
'!'he DuldiDg. of the station were also con-
structed at that t1ae ADel .000e haft be .. tr8Jlsforaed. into laboratorie.,

of torpedoes and artillery a.munition are now fitted with electric .otor. 
and other .tluipmellt that ia required for the apecial work that is being 
conducted.

Apparent Aciditv. 
.~. - .. 
The acidity was determined as 2~, dichlorpbenoxyacetj} 
acid, according to the following modification of ASTM 
Procedure D664-42T for the neutralization of petroleum 
products by electrometric titration. 
-(a) Reagents 
1. Alcoholic Potassium Hydroxide. 
Six (6) 
grams of KOR are added to one liter of 95% 
ethyl alcohol and boiled for ton minutes. 
Two (2) grams of barium hydroxide are added 
and the solution reboiled for five miputes. 
Solution is cooled and filtered through a 
Gooch crucible and standardized by electro-
metric titration against potassium bitartrate 
~. Titration Solvent. Equal volumes of reagent 
grade benzol and 95% ethyl alcohol are thorough-
ly mixed. Blank acidity is determined by 
electrometric titration. 
Appiratus. 
Beckman pH li3ter, Lnboratory Model G. 
Procedure. 
Approximately ten (10) grams of the VKL were 
weighed to on accuracy of .05 of a gram. 
This 
was diluted to 250 ml in a volumetric flask oDd 
a 25 ml aliquot was UBed as a sample. Before

1. In cooperation with the CODlJD8lldant Tenth Naval District~l 
~ 
I have studied the matter of developing Vieques Sound for a Fleet 
Anchorage. Plans have progressed to such an extent that it is 
i\ 
,,; 
necessary to submit recommendations for the seacoast armament 
. 
which will be needed. 
Time 1Iill be required for the construction 
of fixed seacoast installations. It is desirable to have this 
construction completed at the time the Navy Project 1s completed. 
See attached letter and estimate of the Commandant Tenth Naval 
District, Inclosure 1. 
2. This letter presents the requirements in seacoast art-
Ulery only. Detailed studies and estimates coveriDg the organ-
ization, fire control uatallatioDs, seacoast searchlights, and 
cODlllll.Ul1cations will be prepared dependent upon War Department 
approval. Detailed studies of antiaircraft defenses will be sub-
mitted in a separate communication. 
3. The mission of the seacoast artillery armament will be: 
.!. Protection of the neet when within, debouching 
from, or entering the ancborage. 
(Paragraph 125£,(1) FM 4-5 July 
29, 1940) 
b. Destruction of light cruisers or smaller vessels 
which attempt.raids on the anchorage, of those Which attempt 
raids during a debouchment of the neet from the anchorage, or 
those attempting to block the entrance channels. 
" 
.~ 
.£. 
Destruction of naval vessels which attempt raids on 
ruel storage facilities, auxiliary airdromes and other vital iJr. 
stallations serving the anchorage. 
i 
-SECKt:: I 
4. 
~. The fleet anchorage is plotted on Chart A, Inclosure 
2. 
The danger line within which enemy battleships must operate 
in order to bombard the anchorage is drawn on Chart A at a range 
of 35,000 yards from the near edge of the anchorage. 
Debouching 
from the east channel, the fleet will remain in a restricted 
water area until it passes the line joining East Point, Vieques 
Island and the Grampus Shoals. 
Likewise, debouching from the 
west channel the fleet will be in a restricted area until it 
passes a line between Mt. Pirata, Vieques Island and Yeguas Point. 
Danger lines, 35,000 yards seaward of these two lines, are also 
shown on Chart A. 
12. 
As noted in paragraph 122, 1M 4-5 July 29, 1940, the 
coast artillery weapon of sufficient range, fire power and accur-
acy with which to defend the fleet anchorage and to cover the de-
boucbment therefrom, is the fixed 16-inch gun. 
~. Covering the danger lines noted in paragraph 41! 
above with arcs of fire of 170;iegrees (for the casemated 16-
inch batteries) with a range o~ 45,000 yards, it is found that 
at least four batteries are needed. Sites for the batteries are 
available at points A, B, C, anelD as shown on Chart A. 
The arcs 
of fire frem the batteries located for the defense of San Juan 
harbor, as per approved projects, are also shown on Chart A. 
5. 
.§:. 
The two entrances to the anchorage, the water areas 
immediately in front of each entrance, and the base facilities in 
the vicinity a£ ~9nada Honda need the protection of a powerrul 
weapon of Seconci4ry arDalDent. 
The modern 6-inch gun battery fir-
ing armor-piercing projectiles to a range of 25,000 yards, mounted 
on carriages capable of traversing 360 degrees is well suited to this 
mission. 
Two 2-gun 6-inch batteries should be placed to cover each 
entrance. Proposed sites for these four batteries are shown at 
positions F, G, H, and I on Chart B, Inclosure 3. 
g. Supporting fire in the Virgin Passage is furnished by 
the 6-inch batteries proposed for the defense of the submarine base 
at Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, the arcs of fire of two of which 
are shown on Chart B. 
The St. Th,-",mas project bas been prepared and 
will be forwarded in a few days. 
6. 
It is recommended that four 2-g~ l6-inch batteries and 
four 2-gun 6-inch batteries be approved for inclusion in the Puerto 
Rican Defense Project, for the defense of the Vie~ues Sound fleet 
anchorage.

c. Clear untreated water was used to wash the sides and bottom 
uSing G.I. brushes and water pressure. 
The deposit was too 
great to wash down with water originally in cistern. This 
collection was placed in the "dec on" truck •. 
-d. The above washing operation was repeated untU the volume 
of solution in the "decon" truck reached 350 gallons. 
e. This solution was treated with aluminum sulfate as outlined 
in Phase I, two (2) ml of stock solution being added per gallon. 
r. Af'ter sypboning off the clear supernatant liquid, the residue 
trom the tank was fUrther concentrated. 
g. 
A total of 75 gallons of fioc re~ined. or this amOlUlt, 25 
gallons were bottled and designated as Sample II and the 
remainder discarded.

~ubj: Justification for Construction, San .Jose Project 
.13 Oc~ 48 
k. Laboratory. ;:;estern End. St. Thomas. 
The $25,000 for 
buildings seems a fair enough estimate. The $50,000 for equipment would 
appear high except that the construction of rainwater catchments and 
cisterns and the building and equipment of a small electric power plant 
is to come out of this money as is the erection costs of a protective 
fence. It should be pointed out that the western end of the island will 
be all new construction. The excavation and. clearing costs may be 
higher than normal. 
2. a. It is desj.red to call your attention to the fact that the 
comments of the 4th Indorsement, SAAVG, 
~ubj: Request for District 
Engineer to Visit San Jose ?roject, dated 11 October 1948 are. only on 
certain i te m~, i' u;n.,neL· j LlSt.l.I l..c!l,'t.ion of Ylhich was asked by the Corps 
of Engineers in paragraph 2, letter Cl~WD-P, dated 18 August 1948, 
Subj: t.tl.litary Construction, F.Y. 1950 to the COl!ll'n8nding Officer, San 
Jose Project from your office. 
b. Originally there were fourteen (14) items requested at a 
total estimated cost of $591,500. 
These items were for inclusion in 
F. Y. 1950 budget. or these fourteen i terns ten were selected for 
accomplishment from 1949 budget emergency funds, in a letter Cr~WR-L 
da ted 26 July 1948, Sub j : 
Emergency Construction Overseas, San Jose 
Project (St. Thomas, V.I.) to the Chief of Engineers 'from Acting Chief, 
Chemical Corps. 
The estimated cost of these ten items was ~577,OOO. 
c. Those certairl i terns from the 1950 budge t list which the 
Corps of Engineers requested further justii"ication on are not identical 
with either of the previously mentioned lists and their total esticated 
cost is $567,000. These various lists of items are called to your 
attention in order that it may be pointed out that all the items will 
eventually have to be provided and to explain why certain items or.iginal-
1y in our estimates, namely, fence, guard shelter and decon station for the 
western end of St. Thomas, were not commented on by the District Engineer.

The information 
submitted by San Jose, in letter dated 27 August 1948, indi-
cated that no equipment was included. It is the policy to 
have original construction appropriations and authorizations 
provide the necessary equipment. Since all Research and 
Engineering projects had been previously submitted to the 
Research and Development Board and all other services for 
coordination, using the original estimates, the higher figures 
were used and are assumed to include equipment.rt

Abstract: This test was performed in four phases during this 
period 27 July 1949 through 10 August 1949. 
As an 
additional phase, nine smoke pots were tested 
simultaneously on 15 August 1949 in an effort to 
determine the effectiveness of multiple burning. 
The 
same area and sampling layout were used in all phases. 
In each of the first four phases, an E23 Smoke Pot, 
filled HD and dyed with Dupont oil red was burned 
statically in an open area, Test Area #4 on Water 
Island. 
Phases were conducted and repeated both in 
early morning and mid-morning to obtained desired 
conditions of lapse and inversion. 
Burning times of 
the thirteen pots tested ranged from seven to twelve 
and one-half minutes. 
Functioning was in several 
instances erratic. 
On several occasions a 
considerable portion of the agent was left in the pot 
and it was not uncommon for a pot to swell noticeably 
from heat of burning. 
Abstract: Overall efficiency ranged from 2.7~ to 60~.

Abstract: This test was performed in eight phases during the 
period 23 November 1948 through 23 February 1949. 
~n 
each phase an M70 Bomb, filled HD and dyed with Dupont 
oil red or yellow was fired statically in a vertical 
position. Four representative areas on Water Island 
were used to provide the desired conditions of an open 
area with onshore wind, an open area with off-shore 
wind, wooded area with onshore wind and wooded area 
with off-shore wind. 
The purpose of this test was to 
establish meteorological and terrain factors at this 
site in order that results obtained may be used as a 
basis of comparison between tests run at this and 
other sites.

Abstract: Test Number 120, Test of Mask, Gas, Service, Combat, 
E48-11-E16 (Chemical Corps Board Project No. 748), was 
performed at the San Jose Project in September 1947. 
The purpose of the test was to compare the Mask, Gas, 
Service, Combat, E48-11-E16 with the Mask, Gas, 
Service, Snout-Type, M8-11-10 and the Mask, Gas, 
Service, Lightweight, M4-10Al-6. Testing of the masks 
consisted of an" eleven-day period of wearing the masks 
while exercising, on hikes, in gas clouds and under 
simulated battle conditions. 
All three masks were 
tested as uniformly as possible. 
In addition, the 
Mask, Gas, Service, Combat, E48-11-E16 was subjected 
to a forty-five day carrying test in whiph personnel 
carried the masks wherever normal duties took them.

Abstract: This test was conducted during the period 17 May 1949 
through 30 September 1949. 
Its purpose was to 
determine by field tests the best location, with 
respect to wind, for entrances to gasproof shelters 
constructed in a building located in accordance with 
the upper diagram, Figure 4, TM 3-350, marked IIBAD". 
A shelter 10x10x8-1/2 feet was constructed for use in 
the test and results obtained with the shelter on a 
downgrade as well as an upgrade slope with respect to 
the source. 
Throughout the test, the source of agent 
consisted of several one-ton containers of phosgene 
placed about the shelter. Results of the various 
operations showed the downwind side of the shelter to 
be the most desirable, with side entrances next and 
upwind last. 
Results obtained at the side entrances 
more closely approximated those at the downwind 
entrance with upwind samplers giving consistently high 
readings.

The objective of this test was to determine if leaks 
occur in the test item under varied conditions of 
tropical and semi-tropical storage combined with rough 
usage. 
Fifty (50) bombs were subjected to a variety 
of tropical and semi-tropical storage and rough usage 
conditions and observations made as to their condition 
during and following the above treatment over a six 
month period. 
No leaks developed at any time 
throughout the test although the bombs stored outdoors 
rusted and rough usage caused dents and bending.

The sco~ of this project includes~ 
1. Meteorology, 
.!-
A preliminary study of the weather' in the Sonth Pacific 
will be made during the planning phase with particular 
attention to seasonal changes. 
' 
A determination will be made in the test area as to 
whether or notthp. dense tropical jungles cause ~ con-
dition of inversion under the jungle canoP,y and'~ it 
does not habitualty do so, under what general weather 
conditions is the! condition of inversion found in.t.he 
jung~. 
. 
, 
, 
2. Non-Persistent Gas. 
~. To determine what concentration can be built up with 
lOOO-lb. bombs, .4.2n che~cal mort~ shell, 7.2- chem-
ical rockets, projector bombs and portable chemical. 
cylinder 3 in the jungle on -
(1) Level ground~ 
(2) Ground nth various degrees of slope. 
Furthermore to determine whether or not a sufficient 
CT under these various conditions can be produced 
'which will break down the Japanese gas mask canister, 
and comparative tests with our own gas masks.,_ 
E. 
To deternine whether a cl~ud sheltered,fram.the wind 
in a' tropical jungle will drain down s::Jali valleys 
and ravines, and if so, what is the range that can be 
obtained for a cloud attock ~th various concentra-
tions and with variouS' degrees of slope • 
.£. 
To determine how long a period of time will elapse 
after the liberation of non-persistent gas in suf-
ficient concentration to break down the Japanese gas
