Siskiyou Rocket and Bombing Range
The former Siskiyou Rocket and Bombing Range was created due to the U.S. Navy's desire to field aerial rockets during World War II. The Navy used the 7,040 acre parcel for strafing and dive bombing.
The Siskiyou Rocket and Bombing Range was developed by the U.S. Navy to provide an aerial gunnery range east of the Cascade Mountains in the winter, when other stations were inhibited by poor weather conditions.
The Siskiyou Rocket and Bombing Range ceased operations in 1946.

EWG's drinking water quality report shows results of tests conducted by the water utility and provided to the Environmental Working Group by the California State Water Resources Control Board, as well as information from the U.S. EPA Enforcement and Compliance History database (ECHO). For the latest quarter assessed by the U.S. EPA (January 2019 - March 2019), tap water provided by this water utility was in compliance with federal health-based drinking water standards.
Legal does not necessarily equal safe. Getting a passing grade from the federal government does not mean the water meets the latest health guidelines.
Legal limits for contaminants in tap water have not been updated in almost 20 years.
The best way to ensure clean tap water is to keep pollution out of source water in the first place.
