The first step in confirming a UXO is to visually identify it. This can be done by looking for the following characteristics:
* Shape: UXOs can come in a variety of shapes, but they are often cylindrical or spherical.
* Size: UXOs can range in size from small bullets to large bombs.
* Color: UXOs can be a variety of colors, but they are often brown, green, or gray.
* Markings: UXOs may have markings that indicate their type or origin.
Step 2 - Test Excavation
If a suspected UXO is found, a test excavation should be conducted to confirm its presence and size. This involves carefully digging around the object until it is fully exposed.
Step 3 - UXO Identification
Once the UXO has been excavated, it must be identified so that it can be properly handled and disposed of. This can be done by a qualified UXO expert.
Step 4 - UXO Disposal
Once the UXO has been identified, it must be properly disposed of. This may involve detonation, burning, or other methods.
Step 5 - Site Restoration
Once the UXO has been disposed of, the site must be restored to its original condition. This may involve filling the excavation hole, removing any debris, and planting new vegetation.
