UXO SEARCH METHODOLOGY
SEARCH PROCEDURES

The following UXO search and remediation treatment was applied to the Site:

Search methodology was the conduct of a disciplined 100% analogue search at one (1)
metre lane intervals to a depth of one (1) metre. Principal search instrument was the
Foerster 4.032 Magnetometer. In magnetically hostile areas (for example: fence lines or
underground services such as sewerage and power cables) where the performance of the
Foerster 4.032 Magnetometer would be degraded, the Minelab F3 Metal Detector was used
to search these areas. This is a state of the art Australian designed electromagnetic
induction coil detector, built to military specifications. Technical specifications for the
Foerster 4.032 Magnetometer and the Minelab F3 Metal Detector are presented at
enclosure 1.

Principal target to be located was UXO equivalent to a 37mm projectile to its potential
kinetic depth, (approx 0.3 meters). This is the smallest item of explosive ordnance (EO)
known to be used in this area.

SITE TEST PIT
Prior to carrying out the UXO Search a test hole was excavated on site.
