The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) has announced plans to conduct range testing on Tuesday, January 28, 2025, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The testing is expected to generate loud noise that could affect nearby communities surrounding Naval Support Facility Dahlgren.
During the testing period, access to the Potomac River Middle Danger Zone, as defined in 33 CFR 334.230, will be restricted to ensure public safety. Residents and visitors are advised to anticipate elevated noise levels and to plan activities accordingly.
