The radar station was excessed by the Air Force to GSA in April 1971, which in August transferred 8.63 acres, which included the 3.94-acre family housing area, to the Dept. of the Navy. 4.13 acres had previously been transferred to the Army in May 1968, for use by the Iowa National Guard and known as the Waverly Army National Guard Training Facility.
Prior to declaring the site excess, the Air Force demolished one of the radar buildings (building 310), leaving the foundation intact. Building 309, another radar building, had its stainless steel dome removed prior to the station being declared excess, leaving the walls, foundation, and stairways intact. Of the remaining 73 buildings installed by DOD, 32 were located on property currently owned by DOD, with 6 removed, one had fallen down, and 24 in fair to good condition. Of the two other buildings on the 60-acre GSA property, one had been removed and the other in fair condition. Of 41 buildings on private property, 12 had been removed and 29 were in fair to good condition.
