The Corps will utilize the community in- volvement activities outlined in this plan to ensure that residents are continuously informed of available opportunities to be involved. This Community Relations Plan addresses the site’s relationship to the community and the Corps (Section 2.0), provides a background of the community (Section 3.0), presents the Corps’ com- munity involvement program (Section 4.0), and provides a listing of available resources. The Corps drew upon several information sources to develop this plan and will oversee the imple- mentation of the community involvement activities outlined in this plan. 2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY Across the country, the Department of Defense acquired properties, often during times of con- flict, to use for military demonstrations, training, and testing. Once the military no longer needed the land, it was transferred to other entities. These Formerly Used Defense Sites can range from privately-owned farms to national parks. They also include residential, educational, and industrial areas. The Department of Defense is committed to correcting environmental dam- age caused by its activities and created the Defense Environmental Restoration Program for For- merly Used Defense Sites to evaluate, and if necessary, remediate Formerly Used Defense Sites. The Corps is responsible for managing the Defense Environmental Restoration Program for For- merly Used Defense Sites on behalf of the Department of Defense. 2.1 PROPERTY HISTORY Fort Segarra is located on Water Island, the smallest of the United States (U.S.) Virgin Islands at 491.5 acres (see Figure 1). The U.S. government acquired Water Island from the Danish East Asiatic Company in 1944 to use for coastal defense. Construction of Fort Segarra began in 1944 but was not completed prior to the end of World War II, and the Army deactivated the site in 1946. While the concrete gun positions and supporting buildings were completed, the guns were never installed. The U.S. Army Chemical Corps also used portions of Water Island for limited testing and storage of chemical munitions from 1948 to 1950 as part of the San Jose Project. (The Test Areas are noted in Figure 1.) Tests were well-documented, and the chemical muni- tions were removed from the island at the end of the test program. In 1952, Water Island was transferred to the U.S. Department of the Interior and leased to a pri- vate party to develop a hotel and resort. The Water Island Hotel opened in 1954 and operated until 1989, when it was badly damaged by Hurricane Hugo. The lease expired in 1992 and, in 1996, the Department of Interior transferred Water Island to the U.S. Virgin Islands. The hotel and associated structures were demolished in 1998. In 2014, a lease was issued for a new hotel and resort. Residential development has also taken place on the island. In September 2017, Hur- ricanes Irma and Maria caused wide-spread damage to the island. Fort Segarra Community Relations Plan 2 Figure 1: Fort Segarra Location Map 2.1.1 Potential Contaminants The U.S. Army Chemical Corps used parts of Water Island to conduct limited tests with chemi- cal munitions. Following completion of the testing program, the chemical munitions and the chemicals agents they may have contained, were removed from the island. Since that time, sev- eral studies have been completed at Fort Segarra that confirm there is no hazard associated with the site’s past use for chemical munitions testing and storage. The Army did not store or use any other munitions at Fort Segarra. 2.1.2 United States Army Corps of Engineers’ Involvement Shortly after the Defense Environmental Restoration Program-Formerly Used Defense Sites be- gan, the Corps visited the site, and in 1989, determined it was eligible for the program. Please Fort Segarra Community Relations Plan 3 see Section 2.3.3 for a list and summary of previous studies and investigations conducted for Fort Segarra. Most recently, the Corps completed a Remedial Investigation. The purpose of a Remedial Inves- tigation is to determine and document the types of munitions that may be present, the amounts, and locations. This is known as characterizing the nature and extent of potential military related impacts. For Fort Segarra, the Remedial Investigation relied on information from the previous studies and investigations to verify that there are no conventional munitions and/or munitions constituents (metals and explosives that comprise munitions) at the site. Additionally, infor- mation regarding the areas where a limited number of chemical tests were conducted was evalu- ated and confirmed that chemical munitions and/or chemical agents are not present at the site. 2.1.3 Community Reaction The public is generally aware of the military’s use of Water Island. There is a great deal of in- formation about Fort Segarra on various websites, in addition to the Corps’, and the Corps placed signs on the island describing the Army’s training and what to do if munitions are discovered. The Corps has also coordinated with the Water Island Civic Association to share information about the site with the community. Although to date there have been no concerns expressed by the community, the Corps will continue to monitor the community’s interest and will respond ac- cordingly. 2.2 PROPERTY DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION Fort Segarra is located on Water Island, the smallest of the four U.S. Virgin Islands. Water Is- land is approximately 1,800 feet from St. Thomas and directly south from its capital city, Char- lotte Amalie. The project site, which is in the southern part of the island, includes four non-con- tiguous areas that were used in conjunction with the military’s testing activities. The four areas include the Flamingo Bay Landfill and Test Areas 4, 5, and 8 (see Figure 2). Water Island is pri- marily residential with some commercial and government enterprises. 2.3 PROPERTY INSPECTIONS AND CLEANUP ACTIVITIES 2.3.1 Known or Suspected Contamination Based on the historical use of the Fort Segarra Formerly Used Defense Site, the Corps was con- cerned about the potential presence of munitions and chemical warfare materiel. 2.3.2 Nature of Threat Munitions could pose a potential safety hazard to people who touch, pick up, or otherwise dis- turb them. The metals and explosives that comprise munitions could potentially be a risk to peo- ple and the environment if they are released to the soil and/or sediment. Chemical warfare mate- riel, if present, would be dangerous to people and the environment.

The metal objects were identified as possible chemical bombs, but the re- port stated there was no noticeable release of chemical agent. 1989 Inventory Project Report As part of the Inventory Project Report, a team visited the site and found no evidence of muni- tions, chemical warfare materiel, or chemical agents. The report recommended an investigation of the Flamingo Bay Landfill Area where several possible chemical bombs were found in 1966. 1991 Archives Search Report The Archives Search Report compiled information obtained through historical research at vari- ous archives and records holding facilities, interviews with individuals associated with the site or its operations, and personal visits to the site. The purpose of the report was to determine types of munitions used at the site, possible disposal areas, and any unknown training areas in order to de- velop recommendations for further actions. 1991 Photographic Analysis The Corps analyzed aerial photographs from 1948, 1954, and 1958 and determined that there was only one area identified, located in Test Area 5, which may have been used for testing and possible disposal. 1993 Scoping Study The Scoping Study provided additional information on Army Chemical Corps’ activities at Fort Segarra, based on archival research and interviews with former Chemical Corps personnel. The interviews indicated that the six tests conducted at Fort Segarra were controlled and well-docu- mented, and after each test, the team decontaminated the area. Furthermore, the types and lim- ited numbers of test items used allowed for easy removal after the testing was complete. The Fort Segarra Community Relations Plan 6 study indicated no further investigation was needed for most areas at Water Island and recom- mended an additional investigation for Test Areas 4 and 5 and the Flamingo Bay Landfill. 1995 Site Characterization Phase I Remedial Investigation Report Site characterization and debris removal operations were conducted in 1993 and 1994 at Water Island, including at Test Areas 4, 5, and 8 and the Flamingo Bay Landfill Area. The characteri- zation activities included surface inspections, magnetometer sweeps and surveys, and soil sam- pling. While there were no munitions, chemical warfare materiel, munitions debris, or chemical agents, the report recommended an additional investigation for portions of Test Areas 4 and 5 and the Flamingo Bay Landfill Area. 1995 Environmental Assessment This Environmental Assessment report presented the results of a site inspection of Test Areas 4 and 5 and the Flamingo Bay Landfill Area. Abandoned vehicles and household and construction debris were noted in multiple locations, but the team did not identify any munitions or chemical warfare materiel. 2001 Preliminary Assessment The Department of Interior completed a Preliminary Assessment and recommended additional soil sampling. 2001 Historical Photographic Analysis The Corps analyzed historical aerial photographs of Water Island to identify areas where chemi- cal warfare materiel testing potentially took place, with a focus on Test Areas 4 and 5 and the Flamingo Bay Landfill Area. 2002 Revised Archives Search Report The Revised Archives Search Report summarized additional archival research, interviews, aerial photographic analysis, and a site visit. Although potential munitions related activities were noted for two batteries and Test Area 4, the report confirmed that guns were never installed at the batteries, and there was no evidence of munitions or munitions debris. The report also docu- mented the chemical warfare materiel used and removed from the site and concluded there was no contamination associated with the Army’s activities. No further action was recommended. 2004 Site Investigation Report The Department of Interior conducted a Site Investigation in conjunction with the fieldwork for the 2005 Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis. They collected soil samples from Test Areas 4, 5, and 8 and the Flamingo Bay Landfill Area and analyzed them for explosives, chemical agents, and other non-munitions related chemicals. The results indicated there was no potential risk to people or the environment in Test Areas 4, 5, and 8, and the Flamingo Bay Landfill Area, and no further investigation was required. 2005 Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis This evaluation and analysis included 46 test pits, 17 trenches, 88 soil samples, and 8 back- ground soil samples. No munitions or chemical warfare materiel were identified, and the only chemical warfare materiel-related items were scrap metal found at the Flamingo Bay Landfill Area. No munitions constituents or chemical agents were detected in the soil samples. Fort Segarra Community Relations Plan 7 2006 Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis Action Memorandum The Action Memorandum recommended removing the scrap metal identified at the Flamingo Bay Landfill Area during the 2005 investigation and site-wide institutional controls in the form of public awareness. 2009 Site-Specific Final Report This report documents removal of the scrap metal from the Flamingo Bay Landfill Area and in- stallation of two signs describing the historical chemical warfare materiel testing done on Water Island as part of the site-wide institutional controls. 2012 Five-Year Review The Five Year Review was conducted to determine if the implemented alternative recommended in the Action Memorandum remained protective of people and the environment. The report con- cluded the remedy remained protective and that there were no reported incidents involving muni- tions, chemical warfare materiel, or munitions debris at the site. 2013 Revised Inventory Project Report The Corps revised the Inventory Project Report to change the size and scope of Project 01 to in- clude Test Areas 4, 5, and 8 to the Flamingo Bay Landfill Area. 2016 Site-Specific Final Report This report documented the replacement of the two informational signs on Water Island. 2.3.4 Lead Agency The Corps is the lead agency and is responsible for cleanup activities related to the military’s use of the site. The Corps is coordinating with Virgin Islands government representatives, including representatives from the Department of Planning and Natural Resources, and other stakeholders. 3.0 COMMUNITY BACKGROUND 3.1 COMMUNITY PROFILE Fort Segarra lies entirely within the census district of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and, specifically, the census subdistrict of Water Island. On average, the population on Water Island is older, more educated, and has a higher mean household income than other residents in St. Thomas and the Virgin Islands. When considering meeting locations, the Corps will be mindful that 21.5 percent of the population does not have a vehicle. The Corps does not anticipate that meetings and printed materials need translation as the majority of the population speaks English, but the team will monitor the situation and will provide translations as necessary.

The Corps will continue to inform the community and will respond to any concerns that are raised. 3.3 KEY COMMUNITY CONCERNS No community concerns have been raised to date, but the Corps will monitor the situation closely as activities continue to educate the public and to encourage them to participate in the re- medial investigation process. 3.4 RESPONSE TO COMMUNITY CONCERNS The Corps will continue public involvement activities and will respond should any concerns arise. 3.5 SUMMARY OF COMMUNICATION NEEDS Planned or completed public information activities have been coordinated with the Water Island Civic Association to provide information to the community. The association has posted various notices for the project along with a letter and fact sheet related to the Proposed Plan. 4.0 PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PROGRAM The overall goal of the Corps’ public involvement program is to promote two-way communica- tion between citizens and the Corps and to provide opportunities for meaningful and active in- volvement by the community in the remedial investigation process. The Corps has or will imple- ment the community involvement activities described below. The following plan is based on concerns frequently expressed by those living near or on a Formerly Used Defense Site. 4.1 THE PLAN Issue 1: Keeping the Public Informed Activity 1A: Designate a Corps public involvement coordinator Fort Segarra Community Relations Plan 9 • Objective: To provide a primary liaison between the community and the Corps and to ensure prompt, accurate, and consistent responses, and information dissem- ination about the site • Method: The Corps will designate a public affairs specialist to handle site inquir- ies and serve as a point of contact for community members. The public affairs specialist will work closely with the Corps project manager. • Timing: The public affairs specialist was assigned at the beginning of the project. Activity 1B: Prepare and distribute site fact sheets and technical summaries • Objective: To provide citizens with current, accurate, easy-to-read, and easy-to- understand information about Fort Segarra • Method: Fact sheets will be provided to property owners and will be available on the Corps’ website (www.saj.usace.army.mil/FortSegarra). • Timing: The Corps will prepare and distribute fact sheets as necessary, but at least at the beginning and end of each phase of work. Activity 1C: Provide a toll-free telephone number for the community to contact the Corps • Objective: To enable citizens to get the latest information available when they want it, rather than having to wait for a meeting or a fact sheet and without incur- ring any cost • Method: The Corps has a toll-free number that is provided in the fact sheets. • Timing: The toll-free telephone line is currently operational (800.710.5184). Activity 1D: Maintain a mailing list for the site • Objective: To facilitate the distribution of site-specific information to everyone who needs or wants to be kept informed about the site • Method: The Corps is coordinating information dissemination through the Water Island Civic Association • Timing: Throughout the project Activity 1E: Establish and Maintain an Administrative Record file • Objective: To provide residents the documents and resources used by the Corps in reaching decisions about the site in a convenient location where residents can read official documents and other pertinent information about the site • Method: The Corps will provide at least two sets of the Administrative Record file for the site, one at the Corps’ Jacksonville, Florida office and one at the Jack- sonville District’s website for Fort Segarra • Timing: The Administrative Record was opened when the Remedial Investiga- tion began, and it will remain open until the Decision Document is signed.
