Work is starting Tuesday morning to dig up dozens of yards in Orange County to search for old bombs.
On Monday, crews for Lennar Homes spent the day marking the neighborhood that sits on what used to be the World War II era Pine Castle Jeep Range.
All spots marked during the survey will be dug up. More than 50 homes could be affected.
Additional Information
So far, several old live munitions have been found nearby and close to Odyssey Middle School.
The work to find more bombs could take several weeks.
Lennar Homes told News 13 that they will dig up anything made of metal. The company said they are doing it to bring peace of mind to the people who live in the community.
They said it will take about two weeks to dig around 21 homes in the Lee Vista area.
Some people will have to leave the area while the work is going on.
Since July, the Army Corps of Engineers have been looking for bombs after the initial discovery near the school.
Lennar Homes said every day at 4 p.m. it will release a report detailing what, if anything, they found.
