Ordnance Operation

An ordnance demolition operation is planned on Noman’s Land for Sept. 21 and 22. Originally scheduled for the end of August, the operation was postponed due to Hurricane Irene.

The objective of this operation is to detonate any explosive charges on recently discovered ordnance. Explosions may be heard when demolition operations are being performed. It will be carried out by the U.S. Navy, in coordination with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection.
