Per a friend that worked for Evergreen at MZJ for several years, the aircraft stored back there are used for tactical / assault / explosives training by the folks that work out of that lovely looking facility right next to where they're parked. Think FBI/CIA/DEA/SEAL/Special Ops type folks.
When myself and another photographer friend of ours were on a weekend-long tour there around eight years ago, it was understood that we wouldn't be driving or walking around too close to that facility and we wouldn't be getting anywhere close to those aircraft for photos or tours.
It's always cracks me up (and him as well) to come across descriptions on various aerial photos of MZJ here and there online where people seem to think that is someone's home. :)

Cool, it seems that whatever makes it into that area is kept away from the axe for some reason?

Correct, N515HC is just off the field. In fact you can drive right up to it nowadays!--
There should also be two ex Pro Air MD90 fuselages around somewhere too, P4-MDF & MDG noted Oct 2013 missing wings and tail, any sign?

There was a China Eastern DC-9-82 lying towards the S.E end of the field and is clearly N513HC. There was another one, parked whole, off the airfield completely on its own, in amongst some scrub, so presumably this must be N515HC, as there are 2 reported present.
