Site Description:
This 70-acre former Air Force Aircraft Control & Warning (AC&W) site is located at the end of East Hill Road, approximately 8 miles northeast of Homer, Alaska. The site consists of one unsafe 2-story composite building, several small unsafe structures, and several POL tanks above and below ground.

Site History:
Ohlson Mountain Air Force Station (320 acres) was obtained by PLO 1752, 12Nov58. Improvements were placed on 70 acres and included: 11 buildings, water supply, & utilities. 250 acres were returned to the public domain by PLO 3704, 10Jun65. 70 acres were turned over to private interests by Quitclaim Deed, 3Nov64. Defense Nuclear Agency leased 3.67 acres of the 70 from 1May65 to 12Jun78, finally paying $100,000.00 to release obligation of restoration.
