IMPACT TUNNELS

[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@igc.org>]

At the Benecia Arsenal, northeast of San Francisco, at least some of the
munitions contamination appears to come from a type of military impact
range that I haven't seen elsewhere. Artillery was fired into tunnels,
dug into the sides of hills, limiting the spread of problems but
conceivably increasing their concentration.

Has anyone seen such a range elsewhere?
