Hazardous Waste Siting of Storage Facility at Kelly Air Force Base, Texas

Abstract

In June 1987, you requested us to provide information on a hazardous waste storage facility at Kelly Air Force Base. Specifically, you asked whether: the storage facility meets Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), state, and Air Force siting requirements; the Air Force or the Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office (DRMO) selected the best site available to protect the public and to preserve good public relations with the community; the Air Force, Kelly Air Force Base, or the Defense Logistics Agency adjusted siting standards as a result of the adverse publicity the hazardous waste facility has generated; Kelly Air Force Base is revising its hazardous waste management organization so that it is similar to the organizations at Tinker and McClellan Air Force Bases. This briefing report summarizes the material presented to you during our briefing on June 12, 1987, as well as responses to questions you subsequently raised.
