What will happen to the buried ordnance if there is an earthquake?
A12. For the ordnance used at Five Points OLF, it will take either a direct blow to the firing pin or extreme heat (like a fire) to make the ordnance function. Ground movement (like what occurs during an earthquake) should not cause the ordnance items at Five Points OLF to function. In addition, earthquakes are not likely to occur in the Five Points OLF area. According to the Natural Resource Conservation Services, Arlington is an inactive seismic area with no expected ground motion.
