Procedures for Determining Integrity of UXO and Explosives Soil Contamination at Firing Ranges

Abstract

Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) is military munitions that have been prepared for action, fired, dropped, or buried, and remain undetonated, posing a hazard to operations, personnel, or material The 1997 UXO Clearance Report to Congress estimates that millions of square meters (acres) throughout the United States, including 1,900 Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) and 130 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) installations, potentially contain UXO Implementation of the Range Rule," which will identify the process for evaluating appropriate response actions on Closed, Transferred, and Transferring Military Ranges, will potentially add millions of additional acres to the Army's UXO cleanup liability.
