Some day the city of Enid may take over the National Guard armory here, 
but before that happens, an unseen enemy must be eliminated.

The armory, 600 E. Elm, is contaminated with lead, as are about 59 other 
armories around the state. Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality 
has the job of removing that lead before the armories are turned over to 
anyone. The cost will be about $100,000 per facility.

The lead contamination came from firing ranges built in the armories.

Dustin Davidson, of DEQ, said a lead-based paint removal contractor will 
remove the lead, which was caused by dust from indoor firing. Then, the

10-foot by 10-foot room on the rear.
