Book Description
The purpose of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is to analyze the potential environmental consequences of the disposal decisions to be made by the Air Force. This ROD addresses whether portions of the base will be transferred as excess property to other Federal agencies; whether surplus property (property no longer needed to meet Federal requirements) at the installation will be disposed of as a single parcel or as several smaller parcels; the methods of disposal; and the actions, if any, the Air Force will take to avoid or mitigate adverse environmental consequences from its disposal actions.-BKA.

Final Environmental Impact Statement

Category : Air bases
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
On January 5, 1989, the Secretary of Defense announced the closure of Norton AFB, California, pursuant to the Base Closure and Realignment Act. A record of Decision (ROD) for the action was signed October 3, 1990. The base is scheduled for closure in March 1994. This EIS has been prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act to analyze the potential environmental consequences of the disposal and reasonable alternatives for reuse of the base. The document includes analyses of the potential impacts each alternative may have on the local community, including land use and aesthetics, transportation, utilities, hazardous materials/wastes, soils and geology, water resources, air quality, noise, biological resources, and cultural resources. Potential environmental impacts are aircraft-related noise, increased traffic, reduced wildlife habitat, alteration of topography, alteration of water flow and drainage patterns, and increase in emissions of air pollutants. Traffic mitigations include area roadway improvements. If avoidance of impacts to biological resources is not adequate or possible, mitigation in the form of replacement, restoration, or enhancement is possible. Air pollutant emissions that may interfere with achievement of attainment goals will require maximum mitigation and offsets. Because the Air Force is disposing of the property, some of the mitigation measures are beyond the control of the Air Force.

Alternatives for Managing the Nation's Complex Contaminated Groundwater Sites
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309278139
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 423
Book Description
Across the United States, thousands of hazardous waste sites are contaminated with chemicals that prevent the underlying groundwater from meeting drinking water standards. These include Superfund sites and other facilities that handle and dispose of hazardous waste, active and inactive dry cleaners, and leaking underground storage tanks; many are at federal facilities such as military installations. While many sites have been closed over the past 30 years through cleanup programs run by the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. EPA, and other state and federal agencies, the remaining caseload is much more difficult to address because the nature of the contamination and subsurface conditions make it difficult to achieve drinking water standards in the affected groundwater. Alternatives for Managing the Nation's Complex Contaminated Groundwater Sites estimates that at least 126,000 sites across the U.S. still have contaminated groundwater, and their closure is expected to cost at least $110 billion to $127 billion. About 10 percent of these sites are considered "complex," meaning restoration is unlikely to be achieved in the next 50 to 100 years due to technological limitations. At sites where contaminant concentrations have plateaued at levels above cleanup goals despite active efforts, the report recommends evaluating whether the sites should transition to long-term management, where risks would be monitored and harmful exposures prevented, but at reduced costs.

Defense's Nuclear Agency 1947-1997 (DTRA History Series)
Author: Defense Threat Reduction Agency
Publisher: Militarybookshop.CompanyUK
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 476
Book Description
This official history was originally printed in very small numbers in 2002. "Defense's Nuclear Agency, 1947-1997" traces the development of the Armed Forces Special Weapons Project (AFSWP), and its descendant government organizations, from its original founding in 1947 to 1997. After the disestablishment of the Manhattan Engineering District (MED) in 1947, AFSWP was formed to provide military training in nuclear weapons' operations. Over the years, its sequential descendant organizations have been the Defense Atomic Support Agency (DASA) from 1959 to 1971, the Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA) from 1971 to 1996, and the Defense Special Weapons Agency (DSWA) from 1996 to 1998. In 1998, DSWA, the On-Site Inspection Agency, the Defense Technology Security Administration, and selected elements of the Office of Secretary of Defense were combined to form the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA).

Wingless Flight
Author: R. Dale Reed
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 0813161606
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Most lifting bodies, or "flying bathtubs" as they were called, were so ugly only an engineer could love them, and yet, what an elegant way to keep wings from burning off in supersonic flight between earth and orbit. Working in their spare time (because they couldn't initially get official permission), Dale Reed and his team of engineers demonstrated the potential of the design that led to the Space Shuttle. Wingless Flight takes us behind the scenes with just the right blend of technical information and fascinating detail (the crash of M2-F2 found new life as the opening credit for TV's "The Six Million Dollar Man"). The flying bathtub, itself, is finding new life as the proposed escape-pod for the Space Station.
