Target covered two large hard surface areas where a large number of tanks and vehicles were located, and large buildings where repairs were carried out. Site designed for rainwater runoff into nearby stream. UNEP only looked at hard surfaced areas due to mines/UXO, and a few cleared spaces. 233 contamination sites identified and radiation readings up to 100 times background. History of site covered in detail in report. Since UNEP visite EOD programmes and surface decontamination has occurred FBiH authorities continue to monitor site. There was still noticeable surface contamination at the time of ICBUW's visit in 2010

Target was tanks, vehicles, artillery and potentially an anti-aircraft gun. In the 1990s a team from Serbia visited the site and confirmed the use of uranium weapons, but this information was not made public. A stream runs through the site and into a sinkhole. Site is still in use by the military. Contamination was found both inside and outside buildings. At least two buildings were assumed to have been hit, but were not accessed by the team. Republika Srpska authorities are thought to have done some sampling work there, but no decontamination work was undertaken due to the lack of radioactive storage facilities in Republika Srpska. Significant contamination found - one sample contained DU levels 1000 times natural uranium content of the local soil.
