Department of the Air Force. Base Realignment and Closure Part 3 (BRAC 93), FY 1999 Amended Budget Estimates.
Abstract
Mission Impact: This schedule was developed to minimize the impact on Air Force mission capability, while placing priority on closing or realigning the bases as recommended by the 1993 Base Closure Commission and directed by the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act, P.L. 101-510. It is the Air Force's objective to close and realign the recommended bases at the earliest opportunity to take advantage of: savings provided by reductions to Air Force end strength; reductions to base operating support costs; and, where applicable, proceeds from sale of real property at closure bases. Environmental Considerations: By the end of FY 1999, five BRAC 93 installations will have the last remedial actions installed, in accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). These actions (which include landfill closures, groundwater treatments, bioventing, air sparging, underground storage tank removal and free product removal) comply with the requirements of CERCLA 1 20(h)(3) which governs deed transfers of property, and protects human health and the environment. Two installations, March AFB, CA, and Newark AFB, OH will continue with long term monitoring and operation activities associated with previous cleanup actions. In addition, by FY 1999, it is anticipated that two National Priority List installations (March AFB, CA and Newark AFB, OH) will have all remedies in place and operational, and be positioned for de-listing. There are currently 19,000 acres to be transferred at BRAC 93 installations. 11,500 acres are now environmentally ready for transfer. Through interim leases and deed transfers, 340 acres are now in reuse. Completion of the environmental actions are crucial for the reuse and economic development of the affected communities.
