NEWS RELEASE U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to Conduct Informational Public Meeting on the Camp San Luis Obispo Munitions Response Site 05 For Release: Final Release 15 August 2025 Contact Name: FUDS Project Manager (213) 452-3988 FUDS.SPL@usace.army.mil The Los Angeles District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers invites the public to attend a public meeting to discuss the upcoming Remedial Action for the Camp San Luis Obispo (CSLO) Munitions Response Site (MRS) 05. This site is a Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS) located in San Luis Obispo County, California. CSLO was established in 1928 by the State of California as a National Guard Camp. It originally consisted of 5,800 acres. Additional lands were added in the early 1940s until the total acreage consisted of 14,959.16 acres. A large portion of CSLO, the original 5,800 acres, has been retained by the California National Guard (CNG) and is not part of the FUDS program. The Archives Search Report (ASR) completed in 1994 identified 9,159 acres of CSLO as eligible for the Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP) for FUDS. MRS 05 consists of approximately 2,626 acres located along California Highway 1, approximately 8 miles east of the Pacific Ocean at Morro Bay and approximately 5 miles northwest of U.S. Highway 101, between the cities of San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay on the western slopes of the Santa Lucia Range. MRS 05 is segregated into 3 different sub-areas, based on the density of Munitions Debris (MD)/unexploded ordnance (UXO) determined from results of Remedial Investigation data and the likelihood of people accessing the area: MRS 05-North, MRS 05-South, and MRS 05-SR (for shooting range). The land within MRS 05-North is 904.8 acres and used mainly for recreational and agricultural (grazing only) purposes. MRS 05-South is 1,450.7 acres and used primarily for recreational and ranching purposes, including development of existing or new ranching facilities. MRS 05-SR is 270.5 acres and is used primarily for recreational (public shooting range) and agricultural purposes, which will include maintenance and renovation of the shooting range. When: 5pm – 7pm on 25 August 2025 Where: San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden, Oak Glen Pavillion, 3450 Dairy Creek Road, San Luis Obispo, CA 93405, (805) 541-1400 For more information about the FUDS program, please visit https://www.usace.army.mil/missions/environmental/formerlyused-defense-sites/ Remember the 3 Rs of Explosives Safety!
