BRAC 1995 CLEANUP UPDATE

[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@igc.org>]

My initial posting of the BRAC 1995 List was based upon a press 
release. Since then, I have obtained and read the BRAC Commission 
Report. The following list adds several facilities, some of which are 
marked (*D) as downsizing realignments, and deletes the Pittsburgh 
International Airport, which did not make the final cut.

While facility closures are clear-cut, realignments are not. It is 
sometimes difficult to distinguish activity reductions from facility 
downsizing. I have attempted to do so based upon the scanty information 
in the BRAC report, but it may be some time before we know whether this 
list accurately reflects the implementation of the BRAC Commission's 
recommendations.

Annual Report, March 31, 1995
NPL denotes bases currently on or proposed for the 
"Superfund" National Priorities List. 
DLA = Defense Logistics Agency
The BRAC Commission defines bases differently than 
the cleanup program. We have attempted to match them 
as well as possible. 
*D Downsizing realignments.
*1 Listed in the DERP Report as Bellmore Maintenance 
Facility.
*2 Bergstrom Air Reserve Base sits on the site of 
Bergstrom Air Force Base, approved for closure in 
1991. The cleanup figures here are for the entire 
Bergstrom base.
*3 Listed in the DERP Report as Bethesda 
NavMedCom.
*4 Listed in the DERP Report as Rio Vista Reserve 
Training Area.
*5 Listed in the DERP Report as Fort Devens, Sudbury 
Annex.



If anyone knows the prospective disposition of other major realignment 
bases, such as Ft. Greely, AK, please let me know.
