Record of Decision (ROD) for the Disposal and Reuse of George Air
Force Base (AFB), CA
On April 10, 1996, the Air Force signed the Supplemental Record of
Decision (ROD) for the Disposal and Reuse of George AFB, CA. The
decisions included in this Supplemental ROD 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 George AFB, filed with the Environmental Protection Agency in March
1992.
George AFB closed on December 15, 1992, pursuant to the Defense
Authorization Amendments and Base Closure and Realignment Act (BCRA)
(Public Law 100-526), and the recommendations of the Defense
Secretary's Commission for Base Realignment and Closure. This
Supplemental ROD modifies certain previous decisions made in the
initial ROD executed on January 14, 1993, and first supplemented
September 21, 1993. This Supplemental ROD documents the decisions made
by the Air Force on the division of parcels, the method by which
parcels are to be conveyed or transferred, and the mitigation measures
to be adopted.
The previous decisions making Parcels B, D, H, J, Primary Roads,
Railroad right-of-way, Gas, and Telephone utility systems, available
for disposal by negotiated or public sale is modified to provide for
the disposal of such property by Economic Development Conveyance (EDC)
under the provisions of Public law No. 103-160, the Pryor Amendments.
Previous decisions making Parcels F and G available for disposal by
negotiated or public sale is modified to provide for the disposal of
such property under the EDC, consistent with the provisions of Pub. L.
No. 103-421, the Base Closure Community Redevelopment and Homeless
Assistance Act. Parcel D is modified by the withdrawal of approximately
1.5 acres of fee land improved with the electrical substation. The
withdrawn acreage is designated as Parcel SS. Consistent with the Air
Force's previous decision, the electrical substation and distribution
system will be disposed of by negotiated sale to the authorized
franchise holder. In all other respects, previous decisions regarding
such parcels are unchanged. The decisions in this document, coupled
with those in the previous ROD, complete the disposal decisions for
George AFB.
The implementation of the closure and reuse action and associated
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.
Any questions regarding this matter should be directed to Mr. John
E. B. Smith or Ms. De Carlo Ciccel at (703) 696-5540. Correspondence
should be sent to: AFBCA/DE, 1700 North Moore Street, Suite 2300,
Arlington, VA 22209-2802.

Air Force Federal Register Liaison Officer.
