Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development (DIAND) in
1965. The site is located on the southern coast of Victoria

25 km southeast of CAM-A3A which was constructed as a Short
Range Radar facility (SSR) during the modernization of the DEW
Line in the late 1980' and early 1990'

The CAM-A Intermediate DEW Line site included station area
facilities, consisting of a module train, warehouse, garage, a
POL storage facility and a radar tower. Access to the site is
provided by a 1200 m long airstrip, located north of the station
facilities and beach landing areas located to the south of the
station facilities. A Fresh Water Lake is located approximately
600 m northwest of the airstrip. Gravel roads were built linking
the airstrip, Beach Area and Fresh Water Lake to the Station
Area facilities.

Infrastructure remaining on site includes the powerhouse module
of the building train, a felled Doppler communication tower and
foundations from the garage, warehouse and two Petroleum, Oil,
and Lubricants (POL) storage and distribution facilities.
