Fort Stewart/Hunter Army Airfield's (FSGA/HAAF’s) Borrow Pit Program is responsible for overseeing and permitting all borrow pit activities performed on the installation. The Program’s management of these activities supports FSGA/HAAF’s efforts to conserve resources and provide the installation with an onsite source of suitable soils for use as fill material. There are currently 76 active borrow pits conveniently located throughout the installation. These onsite borrow sources support forestry, construction, maintenance, and range activities/projects. All borrow pit design and excavation actions support the objective of the pit eventually becoming a fishpond/recreation area for Soldiers and their Families to enjoy.
