What is UXO ?
• According to strict NATO definitions, Unexploded Explosive Ordnance or UXO is actually defined as Explosive Ordnance which has been primed, fused, armed or otherwise prepared for action and which has been fired, dropped, launched, projected, or placed in such a manner as to constitute a hazard to operations, installations, personnel or material and remains unexploded either by malfunction or design or for any other causes (NATO AAP-6).
• Typical of former training areas, many of which are associated with WWII.

Development of the DND UXO and Legacy Sites Program
• A Legacy Site is a property that has left the federal Department of National Defence (DND) inventory (formerly owned or leased), or a property never in DND inventory that has been affected by DND/Canadian Forces (CF) activities; including off shore sites within the Canadian Exclusion Economic Zone.
• A UXO Legacy Site is one where UXO is present, or a probability of UXO exists based upon past operations.
• The UXO can originate from any military source, not just the CF.

Reasonable Measures in the UXO Legacy Sites Program:1. Creation of a UXO Legacy Sites Database (DB);2. Population of the DB through Historical Research;3. Assessment of risk at each Legacy Site;4. Reduction of UXO risk through education, property
controls, UXO Assessment Surveys and UXO Clearance operations; and
5. Development and execution of a UXO risk awareness communications and education strategy.

UXO vs Contaminated Sites
• On contaminated sites we reduce environmental risk to an “acceptable” level by establishing and meeting remediation criteria.
• UXO not linked to regulatory criteria but largely stakeholder driven.
• QA/QC challenges when ensuring a project meets criteria – A single UXO and possible project failure?
