Base Reuse and Closure 2005
Background
On 8 November, 2005,
Congress approved the list of bases the President
submitted for closure and realignment in accordance
with the Base Closure and Realignment Law (BRAC
2005). Included in this list are the five Air Force
bases that have been declared excess to Air Force
requirements and will be available for disposal.
Under procedures established by the Department of
Defense in the Base Redevelopment and Realignment
Manual, March 1, 2006 Environmental Condition of
Property (ECP) Reports will be prepared. These ECP
reports will document the environmental condition of
all transferrable property in order to provide
information essential to the Air Force regarding
disposal decisions and providing information to the
public relative to the environmental condition of
the property. The ECP report will summarize historical, cultural
and environmental conditions and include references
to publicly available reports, studies and permits.
In addition to the ECP report, an Environmental
Baseline Survey (EBS) report will be prepared for
each base. The
EBS will be used by the Air Force in meeting its
obligations under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA)
as amended by the Community Environmental Response
Facilitation Act (CERFA) to facilitate the rapid
return to communities of uncontaminated property. An
Environmental Assessment (EA) will be prepared in
accordance with the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) for each base that provides an analysis
of the potential environmental impacts of the
disposal and potential reuse of these properties. The properties listed below are available for
disposal and information will be provided in the reports for:
