[There is a real potential for vapor intrusion on and near Ft. Gillem. The Army is expected to announce an investigation soon. - LS] City could close Fort Gillem deal by February By Kathy Jefcoats Clayton News-Daily (GA) November 29, 2013 FOREST PARK — Officials could finalize the purchase of the former Army base by February and residents are another step closer to learning which businesses are locating to that property. … The 1,170-acre Fort Gillem was recommended for closure in May 2005. However, the U.S. Army retains a 250-acre enclave that includes its Criminal Investigations Division Crime Lab, a state-of-the-art facility.

The Army will assume 100 percent responsibility for the clean-up, whether the city contracts out the work or the Army performs it, said Bryant. … For the entire article, see http://www.news-daily.com/news/2013/nov/29/city-could-close-fort-gillem-deal-by-february/ -- Lenny Siegel Executive Director, Center for Public Environmental Oversight a project of the Pacific Studies Center 278-A Hope Street Mountain View, CA 94041 Voice: 650-961-8918 or 650-969-1545 Fax: 650-961-8918 LSiegel@cpeo.org http://www.cpeo.org _______________________________________________ Military mailing list Military@lists.cpeo.org http://lists.cpeo.org/listinfo.cgi/military-cpeo.org | |
