I got quite a few responses to last week’s contest question. As they say, the early bird gets the worm and in this case the early bird was former Police Chief, Jim Clark.
The correct answer is that the pictures are of the former Nike Missile Site in Saint Bonafaciaus, MN. The site is now owned by 11 western metro fire departments and has been owned by this group for many years. The site is known now as the WAFTA site, Western Area Fire Training Association.
Currently work is underway to determine the amount of contamination and how much clean-up will be needed. We (the WAFTA Group) received a federal grant to conduct this study. Once we understand the level of possible contamination we can get a grasp on what the clean-up might involve and move forward on that process. The study results should be ready for review before the end of the year.
Thank you for all that were able to take time to respond to my question, maybe I’ll do it again.
