ORLANDO, Fla., July 1 (UPI) -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has begun a $10 million cleanup of World War II-era bombs buried below a Florida neighborhood, officials said.
CNN reported Tuesday that search teams are combing through the backyards of dozens of high-dollar homes in Orlando, Fla.
The bombs are left over from a 12,000-acre Pine Castle Jeep Range.
One official said once the search is completed, there may still be bombs below the neighborhood.
"Chances are, it's not a problem," said Mike Ornella, who is leading the Army Corps cleanup. "We're never going to be 100 percent sure. We're never going to give a 100 percent guarantee that the properties are clear."
The first bomb in the neighborhood was found last summer next to the Odyssey Middle School track. Since then, 126 rockets and bombs have been found on school property, CNN reported.
No children have been injured by the explosives, but two adults who found munitions on school property suffered minor burns.
Explosives have too been found in the housing developments, but no residents have been hurt, officials said.
