Additional Property Attributes

Former Use: The size of the area of interest is about 292 acres, which is part of a largest ordnance storage depot located in what is known as the Masalog Ridge Area, Tinian. The US Military used the site immediately following the capture of the Mariana Islands in World War II to stage ordnance for aircraft, specially B-29 Bombers for the invasion of Japan. The ordnance storage area was extensive, consisting of over a hundred open revetments with unknown number of ordnance scattered throughout the area. The UXO contamination occurred after World War II, during the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands government (which was administered by the US government), prior to the Landowner acquiring the property. The property was returned from the Trust Territory government when the CNMI government was created in 1976. The property is currently owned by the Department of Public Lands (DPL), which is in charge of managing public properties in the CNMI and is under the Executive Branch of the CNMI government. These unexploded ordnance (UXO) and potentially other WWII vintage explosive components present a significant health hazards to general public. The site has remained idled and undeveloped since after its use as an ordnance storage depot.
