Notify local law enforcement of what you saw and where you saw it.If you can, mark the general area - not the munition - in some manner (e.g., with a hat, piece of cloth, or tying a piece of plastic to a bush or tree branch).Immediately and carefully leave the area, following the same path on which you entered.If you encounter or suspect you’ve encountered a munition, don’t touch, move or disturb it.Leave the handling of munitions to trained experts who can assess the item and make the area safe.Regardless of their age, munition items retain their hazardous and dangerous nature.It’s important to remember that military munitions were designed to destroy military supplies and equipment, and to kill or maim people.Even the least sensitive items may explode if exposed to careless and improper handling.Never assume that "training" or "practice" means a munition item is safe to touch.The spotting charge can vary from a few grains of black powder to several pounds of high explosive.These munitions can contain a type of spotting charge that simulates explosive impact.Training and practice munitions may also be hazardous.It’s estimated that up to 10 percent of the live munitions fired during training were "duds" that didn’t fire as designed.These munitions could still be present anywhere within the Camp Hale project area and could cause injury or death if disturbed.
