Record of Decision (ROD) for the Disposal and Reuse of Grissom
Air Force Base (AFB), Indiana
On August 13, 1999, the Air Force issued the Third Supplemental
Record of Decision (TSROD) for and the disposal reuse of Grissom AFB,
Indiana. The decisions included in this TSROD have been made in
consideration of, but not limited to, the information contained in the
Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the disposal and reuse
of Grissom AFB, filed with the Environmental Protection Agency and made
available to the public on September 16, 1994.
Grissom AFB closed on September 30, 1994, pursuant to the Defense
Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (10 U.S.C. 2687 note) and the
recommendations of the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission.
The FEIS analyzed potential environmental impacts of the Air Force's
disposal options by portraying a variety of potential land uses to
cover a range of reasonably foreseeable future uses of the property and
facilities by others.
The Air Force issued a ROD on October 11, 1994 and Supplemental
RODs on June 20, 1997 and April 14, 1998 that documented decisions
regarding the intended disposal of Government-owned property at the
base. Since the issuance of the ROD and SRODs, changing governmental
priorities and economic situations have required modifications to some
of the Air Force's disposal decisions.
Parcels H, I, J, K, S, and F: These parcels are made available for
disposal by Economic Development Conveyance (EDC). The previous
disposal decision was to convey approximately 113 acres and 51
facilities on Parcels H, I, J, and K by public sale; Parcel S by
negotiated sale; and Parcel F by Public Benefit Conveyance (PBC)
through the Department of Interior (DOI) to the state of Indiana.
Parcel M: An unimproved 2-acre portion of Parcel M, adjacent to the
west side of the wastewater treatment plant, is made available for
public health PBC, public sale or EDC. The previous disposal decision
was to make the entire Parcel M available for EDC.
Parcels 01 and 02: Parcels 01 (waste treatment facilities,
including approximately 1 acre of land) and 02 (water production,
storage and distribution facilities, including approximately 1 acre of
land) are made available for disposal by EDC and public sale, as well
as by PBC. The previous decision was to convey Parcels 01 and 02 to
Peru Utilities through a public health PBC.
The implementation of these conversion activities and associated
environmental mitigation measures will proceed with minimal adverse
impact to the environment. This action conforms with applicable
Federal, State and local statutes and regulations; and all reasonable
and practical efforts have been incorporated to minimize harm to the
local public and the environment. The analyses contained in the FEIS
are still valid.
Any questions regarding this matter may be directed to Mr. John P.
Carr, Program Manager at (703) 696-5547. Correspondence should be sent
to AFBCA/DB, 1700 North Moore Street, Suite 2300, Arlington, VA 22209-
2802.
Janet A. Long,
Air Force Federal Register Liaison Officer.
