National Guard Bureau to Inspect Former Amsterdam Rifle Range
AMSTERDAM, NY (readMedia) -- The National Guard Bureau will be  
checking an old National Guard rifle range in Johnstown for potential  
environmental concerns this summer.

The range is one of 23 former New York Army National Guard training  
sites that the National Guard Bureau will be inspecting for potential  
hazards.

Current property owners are in the process of being asked to allow  
contractors on their property to conduct this check.

The Department of Defense Military Munitions Response Program  
mandated the inspections. The program is being conducted worldwide to  
address human health, safety, and environmental concerns at former  
non-operational defense sites. This includes over 400 sites in 48  
states and two territories formerly used by the National Guard.

Inspectors will try to identify environmental liabilities that may be  
present due to historical use of the property formerly owned, leased  
or used by the New York Army National Guard for training
