Nike Hercules SL 60, Pacific
The Government acquired 162.56 acres of land for the
U. S. Army Air Defense Command between June 1959 and
April 1965. This property, located in Pacific,
Missouri, was purchased to create a missile site for
the defense against high flying enemy aircraft. The
Meramec Valley R-III School District took over 85.15
acres on Jan. 21, 1970. Another 14.07 acres was
purchased by a private individual and 63.34 acres are
under the control of the General Services
Administration. Possible contaminants include
asbestos, petroleum and solvents.
