Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the
Disposal and Reuse of Ontario Air National Guard Station, Ontario, CA
The United States Air Force (Air Force) is issuing this notice to
advise the public that the Air Force intends to prepare an
Environmental Assessment (EA) to assess the potential environmental
impacts of disposal and reuse of Ontario Air National Guard Station
(ANGS), Ontario, California.
The EA will address the potential environmental impact of disposal
of the property to public or private entities, as well as the potential
environmental impact of all reasonable reuse alternatives.
To provide a forum for public officials and the community to
provide information and comments, a scoping meeting will be held in
Ontario, California, on May 2, 1996, and the scoping period will extend
to 31 May 1996. Notice of the time and location of this meeting will be
provided at a later date, and publicized in the community. The purpose
of this meeting is to help identify issues that need to be assessed and
discussed in the EA. During this meeting, the Air Force will discuss
the proposal to dispose of Ontario ANGS, describe the process involved
in preparing an EA, and ask for help in identifying alternative uses
for Ontario ANGS and any significant environmental impacts that may
result from its disposal by the Air Force. In soliciting disposal and
reuse alternatives, the Air Force will consider all reasonable
alternatives offered by any federal, state, or local government agency,
and any federally-sponsored or private entity or individual.
To ensure sufficient time to adequately consider public comments
concerning environmental issues and disposal and reuse alternatives to
be included in the EA, the Air Force recommends that comments and reuse
proposals be presented at the upcoming scoping meeting or forwarded to
the address listed below at the earliest possible date. The Air Force
will, however, accept additional comments at any time during the
environmental impact analysis process.
Please direct written comments or requests for further information
concerning the Ontario ANGS disposal and reuse EA to: Mr. George
Gauger, AFCEE/ECM, 3207 North Road, Brooks AFB, TX 78235-5363, 210/536-
6545 or 210/536-3839.

Air Force Federal Register Liaison Officer.
