"Former Bomb Target No. 5 is currently broken up into several areas, including a private air strip, a residential estate, a warehouse site and a large parcel of open range farm land. The site was at one time leased to the United States Navy by Mr. and Mrs. Paul J. Hudner, for use as a practice dive bombing target site. The lease was completely cancelled in 1955 when the land owners sold the property.
"Numerous miniature practice bombs are in evidence on the site, as well as metal fragments from other, older practice bombs. It is likely that additional miniature practice bombs are located close to the surface, and that this ordinance should be cleaned up."
