ARMY CORPS PLANS PUBLIC AVAILABILITY SESSION IN BENECIA, CALIFORNIA

>From 1 pm to 8 pm on Monday, December 15, at the Benecia (California)
public library, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is hosting a public
availability session to introduce its Benecia Arsenal Projects to the
community. Corps and State representatives will be on hand to answer
questions.

Over the past year, the former Army base hit the news when both active
and inert munitions were found by construction workers preparing land
for a residential subdivision.

Though the developer hired a firm to clear the ordnance, local residents
were able to insist that work be delayed until an Army-sponsored,
state-regulated cleanup program had a chance to respond at the site.
