Ex Bombing Range Island Reopens To Public

Description

San Miguel Island in California's Channel Islands is set to reopen this month. The reopening happens after two years of scrutiny for unexploded ordnance. Heavily bombarded by the U.S. military during World War II and continuing through the 1970s, the island is 55 miles off the California coast. It welcomes the public again starting on May 17. San Miguel was closed two years ago by the military because of safety concerns. Looking for explosives, the U.S. Navy surveyed the beaches, campgrounds, 18 miles of trails and other high-use areas at surface level and subsurface levels. No unexploded devices were found. 125 pounds of munitions parts, however, were removed from the island. Park spokeswoman Yvonne Menard said, "The National Park Service is thrilled the island is open for the summer season."
