     History
    Stopped propulsion production in 2003. Stopped main operations Dec of 2004. Site has 241 buildings over 5200 acres. Site clean up will probably last till 2017 or later. Closure is expected to cost about $1.6 million.

    [May 2011] Review in Google Earth shows most of this site has been leveled. No older buildings exist, some concrete foundations only. Many areas have been dug out and regraded for chemical abatement. Nothing interesting from aerial view except for maybe one test pad up in the hills to the southwest corner.
