Artillery Impact Area Buffer Zone

The Artillery Impact Area Buffer Zone Munitions Response Site (MRS) is a narrow strip of land comprising 677 acres. It is located immediately north of Camp Williams, near the northwestern corner of the installation. In general, the purpose of a buffer zone is to provide a safe landing area for mistargeted munitions. While this particular site was not specifically used as a buffer zone, some National Guard range maps from the 1980's had this area incorrectly labeled as a buffer zone. During the 2007 Site Inspection (SI) a 155mm projectile and an 8-inch projectile were discovered at this MRS very near the Camp Williams boundary. Based on these findings, there may be potential for additional Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC) and Munitions Constituents (MC) to be discovered at this site.

The MRS is currently undeveloped, but includes numerous privately owned land parcels on the eastern side of the buffer zone that have potential for development. There are also numerous trails in this area that are used for recreation purposes. The city of Herriman and the unincorporated housing development, Hi-Country II are the closest residential areas to the site.
