2 BACKGROUND

2.1 Description of Former Homerville Bombing and Gunnery Range

The former Homerville Bombing and Gunnery Range (HBGR) property is located near Homerville, Georgia, in Clinch and Ware Counties. The property lies approximately 21 miles southwest of Waycross, Georgia, along the western edge of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge.

2.2 History of the FUDS Property

In 1942, the Army Air Forces built Homerville Bombing and Gunnery Range to support the mission of Waycross Army Air Field dive bombing and fighter training program. Land acquisition (21,697 acres under permit from the Department of Interior and 10,290 acres leased from private owners for a total of 31,987 acres) commenced in 1942 and the range opened on 4 June 1943. Potentially, HBGR included another 10,220 acres of land used as a range safety fan buffer zone located to the northeast and south of the confirmed 5.5 mile wide by 9.5 mile long boundary, for a total of 42,207 acres. Another document stated that the HBGR was 42,240 acres in size. An unlabeled map dated September 1943 shows the Homerville Bombing and Gunnery Range boundary extending outside the rectangular shaped property boundary.

Targets were located on leased property on the western third of the property. The remaining eastern two thirds of land, located in the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge which were acquired through permit, were used as a range safety fan buffer area.

The Homerville Bombing and Gunnery Range was used by combat units of the Third Air Force at Waycross, Georgia. Range activities at Homerville Bombing and Gunnery Range included a combination dive bombing/ practice rocket range, a skip bombing range, two submachine gun ranges, one rifle range, one pistol range, one combination air to ground gunnery range/rocket range, and an air to ground strafing range. None of the acquired historical documentation, aerial photography, or the 2011 property inspection indicates high explosives use. Confirmed munitions used on Homerville Bombing and Gunnery Range included practice bombs, small arms ammunition, and practice rockets.

On 4 June 1943, the Homerville Bombing and Gunnery Range opened with one bombing range, one aerial gunnery range, and five buildings. By July 1943, the Third Air Force authorized the construction of a skip bombing range; and additional range construction requirements for a rifle range, a pistol range, and two sub-machine gun ranges were undertaken. In September 1943, a landing strip was built near the skip bombing range; and conversion of the ground gunnery range to a ground rocket range was scheduled for completion in May 1945. Twelve targets were constructed, of which two targets were designated by the installation to be fifty foot radii white circles for the rocket range. Additionally the dive bomb range was converted into a combination dive bomb rocket range.

During 1944, a chemical spray range was approved for the use of FS smoke (screening smoke) and colored water dispersed from tanks located within airplanes. The range was located 0.5 miles southeast of the skip bombing range and was used until 1945. There is no explosive hazard from dispersing FS smoke from the spray tanks.

During September 1945, the Homerville Bombing and Gunnery Range was used for the last time and close down procedures commenced. By October 1945, all areas of the Homerville Bombing and Gunnery Range had reportedly been decontaminated, cleared of all scrap metal, and inspected for duds, unexploded projectiles and bombs. The range was closed on 25 October 1945. By the end of January 1946, the range was inactivated and all installed government property was removed and returned to Waycross AAF. In 1947, the U.S. Dept. of Interior terminated the permit covering 21,697 acres of land. The actual termination date of the leased portion of the range is thought to be 1952. The Department of Interior property is currently part of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge and the former leased portion of the range is privately owned and used for timber harvesting.

No evidence of the storage or use of chemical warfare materials was found at Homerville Bombing and Gunnery Range.

2.3 History of USACE Environmental Work at Former Homerville Bombing and Gunnery Range

A Preliminary Assessment (PA) was completed for HBGR in September 2012. On the basis of the PA, four MMRP projects were identified with the potential for Military Munitions contamination. The Site Inspection is the next step in the CERCLA process to identify risk at each of these project sites.

2.4 Project Descriptions

2.4.1 Project 01: (MMRP) – Bombing/Rocket Range

The 3,108 acre Bombing/Rocket Range is located in the northwestern portion of the Homerville Bombing and Gunnery Range FUDS. It consists of portions of the submachine gun range (north) and submachine gun range (east), and the entire pistol range, dive bombing target, and combination dive bombing target/rocket range. The munitions used consist of small arms, practice bombs, and practice rockets. On 4 June 1943 the bombing range opened and was converted into a combination bombing/rocket range by May 1945. The last known use of the range was during September 1945. None of the acquired historical documentation indicates high explosives use. No munitions debris or any remaining indication of past military use was found during the property visit conducted during September 2011.

2.4.2 Project 02: (MMRP) – Small Arms Range

The 1,412 acre Small Arms Ranges consists of the rifle range and portions of submachine gun range (north) and submachine gun range (east). The small arms ranges were constructed during 1943 and the last known use of the entire Homerville Bombing and Gunnery Range was September 1945. None of the historical documentation acquired indicates any other type of munitions being used besides small arms. Only some concrete debris, which may have been from target butts, was observed during the property visit conducted during September 2011. The entire area is a tree farm and has been plowed and replanted several times since government use.

2.4.3 Project 03: (MMRP) – Skip Bombing Range

The 630 acre Skip Bombing Range was constructed in 1943 and used between July 1943 and September 1945. The Skip Bombing Range measures 0.5 miles by 0.75 miles and has an 800 foot by 1,200 foot target area. The southeast corner of the skip bombing range overlaps the Aerial Ground Gunnery Range and is addressed in Project 04. An October 1950 dedudding operations report indicated the removal of six tons of buried M38A2 scrap from this area. Munitions used include practice bombs and small arms. None of the documents obtained indicate high explosives use. A partially buried M1A1 fuse for the M38A2 practice bomb was observed during the September 2011 property visit.

2.4.4 Project 04: (MMRP) – Aerial Ground Gunnery Range

The 3,108 acre Aerial Ground Gunnery/Rocket Range is located in the southwest corner of the Homerville bombing and Gunnery Range FUDS Property. Headquarters Third Air Force authorized the construction of an aerial gunnery ground strafing course on 13 August 1943. Sometime later an aerial ground gunnery range was constructed and then in March 1945 this was rebuilt and converted into a combination aerial ground gunnery and rocket range. The combination ground gunnery rocket range opened in May 1945 and was used until September 1945. A small portion of the Skip Bombing Range overlaps this MRS and is addressed within this project as well. A .50 caliber shell casing and a 6 foot long by 2 foot wide and 12 inch thick concrete pad, likely used for holding strafing targets, were observed during the September 2011 property visit.
