Future plans at RMU-3 include field mapping the site, conducting a magnetometer survey to determine if any spent ammunition is buried at the site, and collection of surface soil samples. This work is tentatively planned, but it is not currently included in any delivery order. If the site is found to meet RRS1 criteria after this work has been completed, a closure report will be prepared in accordance with TNRCC closure requirements.
