SA‐3: Unexploded ordnance may exist outside the Florence Military Reservation
Impact Area.
Location:
Florence Military Reservation
There are unexploded ordnances within the impact area at Florence Military
Reservation. As a result of historic activity at Florence Military Reservation, some
unexploded ordnance has also been found outside the impact area, including the area
around Florence Military Reservation. These are instances of historic activity, and not
the current operations that occur there.
RECOMMENDED STRATEGIES
SA‐3A: Educate the public regarding unexploded ordnance. Primary Party:
Investigate methods and media for educating the public about the potential presence
of unexploded ordnance, including providing examples of what to look for in areas of
concern. Signage should be developed and placed along the boundary of Florence
Military Reservation, especially where the public has access and there is a known
potential for unexploded ordnance to be found.

SA‐4: Vehicle crashes have occurred at the intersection of Arizona Farms Road and
State Route 79.
Location:
Florence Military Reservation
There have been recurring instances of eastbound traffic on Arizona Farms Road
failing to stop at State Route 79 and crashing through the fence onto Florence
Military Reservation.
RECOMMENDED STRATEGIES
SA‐4A: Install roadway signs to reduce speed. Primary Party:
Pinal County should work with ADOT to enhance the signage on eastbound Arizona
Farms Road that indicates motorists are approaching a stop sign. Additional signage
that the road ends at the upcoming intersection with SR 79 should be added.

SA‐4B: Install roadway barriers with reflectors. Primary Party:
Pinal County should coordinate with ADOT to install breakaway barriers on the east
side of SR 79. The barriers should have larger reflectors than the current signage to
make it more obvious that the Arizona Farms Road ends at SR 79.
