"...the Senate version would continue a process through which the Housing
and Urban Development Department would work to âaddress the needs of the
homeless and state and local governments.â
The Senate bill would end almost all discounted land transfers for parks
and schools by limiting eligible property to less than 0.57 acres (25,000
square feet), which rules out almost all properties for parks and
recreation, school, and airport (among other) purposes. Schools require
between 8-10 acres for elementary schools and more for middle and high
school. Only 5% of properties transferred to date for parks would qualify
under the size requirement.

Senate bill muddies waters on shedding excess real estate
By Charles S. Clark
Government Executive
March 9, 2012
A long-awaited Senate version of legislation to speed up sales of
excess federal real estate was introduced on Thursday by a bipartisan
group led by Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., adding a new wrinkle to efforts
by the Obama administration and House Republicans to streamline the
federal role in property management and save money.
The Federal Real Property Asset Management Reform Act is aimed at
reducing the budget deficit by helping agencies improve the disposal
of unneeded government-owned buildings and facilities, and manage
existing space better. It is co-sponsored by Sens. Rob Portman, R-
Ohio; Tom Coburn, R-Okla.; Mark Pryor, D-Ark.; and Mark Begich, D-
Alaska.
The bill differs from the measure (H.R. 1734) the House passed on
Feb. 7 as well as from a proposal offered last year by the Office of
Management and Budget. Both those plans would create a civilian
property board similar to the Defense Department?s Base Closure and
Realignment Commission, which would package promising properties for
sale and submit them to Congress for approval.

I am proud to announce the acting Under Secretary of Defense (AT&L)
signed the DoD Manual (DoDM) 4715.20, Defense Environmental
Restoration Program (DERP) Management on March 9, 2012. DoDM 4715.20
(DERP Manual) is a significant update of guidance established in
2001. The DERP Manual cancels the Management Guidance for the DERP
dated September 2001. In addition to implementing DoD Directive
4715.1E and DoD Instruction 4715.7, the DERP Manual aligns the
Department's environmental restoration activities with statutory
requirements, increases transparency of cleanup efforts, and provides
Installation Commanders greater flexibility and authority to consider
mission requirements when sequencing cleanup work.
The manual is available on line at:

Radiation workers sought by program
May be compensated if Cold War-era job involved uranium
Dan Stockman
Ft. Wayne Journal Gazette (IN)
March 11, 2012
FORT WAYNE - The work lasted only eight years, but the effects
scarred a generation for decades.
In 1944, the Joslyn Manufacturing and Supply Co. in Fort Wayne began
work on a contract with the Manhattan Engineering District to turn
short, stubby chunks of uranium into long rods. Those rods would help
fuel atomic bombs, make America the world?s first superpower and
begin the Cold War, a nuclear standoff that lasted for the next half-
century.
The workers at Joslyn - certainly until Aug. 6, 1945, when the top-
secret Manhattan Project was revealed to the world in an atomic flash
- most likely had little idea what they were handling.

Contamination plumes shrinking, Hill official tell Clinton council
By Anita Kersey
Ogden Standard-Examiner (UT)
March 12, 2012
CLINTON - Thanks to constant vigilance and monitoring, water
contamination - the result of years of improper disposal of chemicals
from Hill Air Force Base - is slowly being done away with, says a
representative from Hill.
At a recent city council meeting, Jarrod Case, HAFB representative
from the Environmental Restoration Branch of the 75th Civil Engineer
Group, presented an annual update on the disposal efforts regarding a
groundwater contamination plume.
Underground water contamination has been a problem for a number of
communities surrounding the base for nearly 30 years, he said.
