General Area: Corvallis, OR Site Type/Program: FUDS Location: Camp Adair RD is about 10.5 miles north of Corvallis on Hwy 99W. The main portion of the camp lies east of 99W between Adair Village and the Polk County line. Brief History: Camp Adair was a World War II - era army base that covered hundreds of acres. Apparently, it was primarily used for gunnery practice and military maneuvers. The site has since been subdivided and sold to various parties. A 40-acre parcel is used by the Oregon National Guard as an artillery range. A portion of the site now owned by Boise Cascade was remediated in 1989-91. (See ECSI #941). In March 1987, a farmer struck an unexploded shell while plowing his field. The shell did not go off. The field was determined to be on a former artillery practice range. The US Army Corps of Engineers conducted a quick removal action, and no additional encounters with unexploded ordnance have been reported. |
