One might be tempted to think "oh, it's concrete, I'll hose it down". But after recently reading up on it a bit, some of the missiles had extremely harmful propellants, and if that leaked (which chances are it did), that'd basically be a hazmat site.
- tyingq 5y agoIt reads like Atlas missiles used kerosene and liquid oxygen. Nothing like hydrazine, etc.
