Green River Ordnance Plant was used for military ordnance storage from 1943 until 1945. After Green River Ordnance Plant was closed, the property was transferred to multiple private and public parties.
Green River Ordnance Plant Areas is one of many former military installations throughout the United States reviewed under the Department of Defense's Munitions Response Site Prioritization Protocol. This protocol is used to assess Formerly Used Defense Sites that may have unexploded ordnance, discarded military munitions or munitions constituents, and to guide future investigations or munitions removal activities at these sites.
