Camp Hale Ordnance Cleanup May Take Years

Camp Hale (Colo.).

United States. Army. Mountain Division, 10th.

Military training camps.

A 2002 article discussing Camp Hale ordnance (mines and unexploded munitions) and the length of time it will take officials to clean it all up. The nationwide cleanup program is described as underfunded, which could cause serious delays in recovering and safely disposing of the ordnance which could be spread out as far a 250,000 acres around the site of Camp Hale, especially in areas currently experiencing population increase.
