Paragraph 2.7 requires that security section personnel report unusual or degraded conditions.

Contrary to the above, as of October 11,1997, security patrols had not reported dark areas in a temporary covered maintenance work area in the protected area.

Lighting surveys conducted in the area on October 15,1997, identified that lighting in most of the area was less than 0.2 footcandle.
