What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Southshore Recovery Acquisition, LLC filed a lawsuit against the Department of Defense to compel payment for cleaning up unexploded bombs and unused munitions on a 105-acre plot in Arapahoe County. Southshore claims it has already spent over $700,000 to manage the cleanup. The land was part of the Lowry Bombing and Gunnery Range, which was used by military branches, including the Air National Guard, from 1937 to around 1963.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The lawsuit centers on the financial liability for historical military ordnance left on private land. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment have worked to clean up the site, but old rounds are still occasionally found. The dispute involves the cost of environmental remediation related to military operations.
