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withdrawn acreage is designated as Parcel SS.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.
