Fort Totten Park in Washington D.C. is closed after World War I-era munitions were discovered in the spring and park officials say more may be there.

However, initial testing of the liquid in the Livens projectile was inconclusive and it was taken to Aberdeen Proving Ground in Edgewood, Maryland in August for additional testing, which indicated the Livens did not pose a hazard.
