Residents have been given permission to return to their homes in Doyline.
Friday authorities lifted the evacuation orders and ceased operations to move the explosives at Camp Minden.
Nearly 200,000 pounds of the improperly stored M6 propellant was moved Thursday and stored in approved storage containers. So far, authorities have removed 2.2 million pounds of the explosive materials.
Meantime, operations are scheduled to resume again on Monday. Louisiana State Police and Webster Parish Sheriff's officials want to remind residents that the area has not been deemed safe and encourage them to remain outside the evacuated area, especially in the daytime.
As a precaution, the Webster Parish Clerk of Courts have moved Saturday's polling location to Westlake Baptist Church located at 2587 Hwy 163.
