Missile Base Silohome Frequently Asked Questions
Is there Radon problems with these sites?
All I can say is that with all of the 55 + hardened structures we have
worked with, we have never had a radon problem detected at any site
yet. We know there to be special water-proofing membranes lining the
exterior walls of the structures. These may well block radon gases if
they were to be present.
Don't know what else to say. Buyer can always do testing.

Does Russia still have this site as a target?
NO. This Atlas-F Series was finished before the SALT (Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty). The Russians knew these sites were already obsolete and decommissioned.
Is this site contaminated?
NO. The DEC(Department of Environmental Conservation) have rigorously tested all the grounds this past summer. They drilled 5 wells surrounding the site and found nothing in the water that was dangerous for all human uses.
Can I drive to the silohome?
Yes of course, often people think that since the silohome was a former missile base with a private airport, that there is no road access. However, one can access the property via state and county well maintained roadways.
