Re: Redevelopment of former SWNAS Change of Scope Public Comments


Mr. Secretary and Ms. Eglington

        Please accept this document to be entered into the public 
record as comments stating public concerns for  MEPA action 11085R.

        These concerns may well spill into what may be deemed outside 
the parameters of this specific public comment periods request, but I 
assure you they are not.

        This comment is to alert the Secretary to the grave problems 
that riddle this federal BRAC process which through an incredibly 
complex political web damns the health of my children and all other 
children being reared in proximity to recognized National Priority 
List(NPL) Superfund(CERCLA) sites. Many of these sites, like the one in 
my backyard, are former military installations. Due to the incredible 
costs of environmental cleanup the federal Department of Defense (DOD) 
is pushing "Fast Track" restoration measures, which serve to "get the 
military out of the cleanup business", and return unclean and toxic 
properties into the public domain.
