Tyndall AFB, Fla:

TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. -  In coordination with Tyndall Elementary 
School and the Bay District School Superintendent’s office, notification 
letters have been mailed to parents, faculty and staff announcing a soil 
cleanup project scheduled to begin July 6.

Tyndall Elementary School was constructed on the site of a WWII aerial 
gunnery school training range.  The training at this range involved 
using turret-mounted machine guns reconfigured to fire 12-gauge shotgun 
shells at clay targets thrown from fixed towers.  Both the lead shot and 
the remnants of clay pigeon targets are now considered to be potentially 
hazardous.
