Ive heard the Corps can clean up ordnance from under my home. What danger exists from it remaining in the ground below my house?
A10. Unexploded ordnance (UXO) is only dangerous if disturbed. Any UXO items under rigid structures such as concrete slabs, sidewalks, asphalt roadways, etc., are generally safe from disturbance and will remain stable. UXO is generally safe until some type of direct contact is initiated with it. To initiate any of the ordnance items that were used at Five Points OLF would require a direct blow to the firing pin.
