GRANTS, N.M. -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District will host an open house to update the public on the former Kirtland Demolition Bombing Range study and proposed plan.
The meeting will be from 4 to 7 p.m. Sept. 26 at the El Malpais Visitor Center, 1900 E. Santa Fe Ave., Grants, New Mexico.
The range is a former World War II training site, located in Cibola County, approximately 90 miles west of Albuquerque.
During its use, bomber aircraft dropped live bombs on McCartys Crater, as a capstone to the Kirtland Army Air Field bombardier training program.
A recently completed remedial investigation/feasibility study will address possible remedies for potential munitions hazards remaining at the site.
As the lead federal agency, the Corps manages environmental investigations and cleanup of Formerly Used Defense Sites.
