The U-S Army says cleanup efforts on a portion of Badger Army Ammunition Plant are complete.
And the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources will soon take over ownership of part of it.
Workers manufactured explosives at the plant from World War II through the Vietnam War. It was mothballed in 1975 and cleanup efforts at the 7,000-acre plant have been under way since the Army said the plant would no longer be needed in 1995.
The Army has issued reports saying there is no further environmental cleanup necessary on about 1,188 of the roughly 1,800 acres the state soon will own.
That corridor the D-N-R will own extends from the northeast quarter of the plant from Devil's Lake State Park south to the Dairy Forage Research Center.
D-N-R Representative Craig Karr says most of the land won't be open to the public until the Army finishes the full plant cleanup in 2013.
