To eliminate difficulties that occurred subsequent to previous operations when some hazardous materials were left behind, it was decided to
have safety personnel remain for at least a week after the last shot to look
at this problem. All stations are to be given a final check, either visually
or by consultation with experimental and J~4 personnel. All J-4 warehouses
are to be given a final check for hazardous materials. All high explosives
were either shipped to the ZI or destroyed by jettison in deep water or by
burning.
