Former Northeast Cape Air Force Station

 abandoned / shut down, former air force base, early warning radar

Northeast Cape Air Force Station (AFS) was a United States Air Force facility consisting of an Aircraft Control and Warning (AC&W) radar site, a United States Air Force Security Service (USAFSS) listening post and a White Alice Communications System (WACS) site constructed at Northeast Cape on St. Lawrence Island. It operated from 1952 through 1969 in its Air Defense role, and through 1972 in its WACS role.

After being left in an abandoned state for the better part of 30 years, the site was targeted for extensive environmental remediation work as part of "Operation Clean Sweep". With majority of the structures onsite razed in 2003 and removed for scrap, contaminated soil remediation continued into the late 2010's in an extensive effort to restore the landscape for the use of local populations, who have been documented to have elevated cancer adverse health effect rates as a result of improper waste disposal and containment at the site.
