Gap Filler Radar Stations

As the result of latest development affecting the siting criteria for the Gap Filler Radar Stations, a number of sites are being relocated and although the relocated sites will not be confirmed until visited by a siting team and a new siting report prepared and approved by USAF and RCAF, it is considered that DOT Land Branch should be advised of the situation in order to avoid any further action being taken by them on the original sites.

  1. Alder River, NS
