Re: DOD ENVIRONMENTAL BUDGET - FY 97

[Peter Strauss <pstrauss@igc.org>]

Tucson Interrnation Airport, where AF Plant 44 is a major contributor 
to both cleanup and contamination, appears to be sticking to its 
schedule. The Air Force has had to cut back on travel, and the project 
manager out of Wright AFB in Ohio does not regulary attend the UCAB 
meetings (equivalent to RAB). Right now, this seems to be the only 
problem. I suspect, however, that remediation efforts will be phased 
to accomodate budget losses, and that there will be additional 
incentives to apply to EPA for waiver to stop remediation at some locations.
