INTRODUCTION The purpose of this report is to analyze the Brookley Industrial Complex and Airport and to indicate how it can be utilized to accommodate the demands of the energy industry and investigate the compatibility of the energy industry with the facilities to determine to what degree the facility may be utilized to support the energy industry and its ancillary activities. The repo'rt describes the existing land under lease, the lease conditions, property available for lease, access to the area, dock facilities, tank farms, pipelines, buildings, existing foundation conditions and utilities. Also included in this report is an example of additional industrial expansion and cost of the expansion. II. GENERAL The Brookley Industrial Complex and Airport is located in the City of Mobile, Alabama, three miles south of downtown Mobile. It is bordered on the north by Interstate Highway 10, on the east by Mobile Bay, on the south by South Brookley Subdivision, and on the west by Pinecrest Cemetery. The complex is owned and operated by the. City of Mobile. A. Historical A large part of the Brookley Airport has been utilized-for the purpose of aviation con.sistently since 1925. The Alabama National Guard employed it for training purposes. It was purchased in 1928 as a municipal airport for the City of Mobile, and in 1929 was named Bates Field for Cecil F. Bates, one of Mobile's early progressive political leaders. Bates Field was selected by the Air Corps for the purpose of a new air depot in 1939. Construction work began on June 20, 1940. The field was renamed "Brookley Field" in 1940 in honor of Capt@in Wendall H. Brookley, Air Corps, who was killed in 1934 at Bolling Field in Washington, D.C. In 1942, after additional land was purchased, the depot was ready for partial operation in time to support the nation's efforts in World War II. In 1949, the designation was changed to "Brookley Air Force Base." In 1958, a master plan was prepared for the Brookley Air Force Base by J. Gordon Turnbull, Inc. of Cleveland, Dallas and Charleston. The report is very extensive and the recommendations were generally adhered to by the Air Force. 2 Due to the lack of available apron space that limited further' expansion of the base, coupled with slow and inefficient handling U4 eq ipment and a rapid building deterioration, the future potential of the base was limited, and in 1964 the decision w as made to de-activate the base. .The City of Mobile acquired Brookley Air Force Base in July of 1969, and "dedicated it to the purpose of providing a second public airport*for general aviation in the Mobile Area." The Brookley Air Force Base was phased out, thus eliminating 14,000 civilian jobs and removing a $100 million dollar annual payroll from the local economy. The City of Mobile purchased the 368 acre industrial complex for 9.6 .million dollars and was granted the 1,200 acre airport to be used for public transportation'. Under the direction of the City of Mobile, emphasis was placed on increasing employment. The Brookley Complex steadily added new industry resulting in near total occupancy of the 4 million square feet of building space by 130 tenants employing close to 6,000 people. This has changed recently, with only approximately 4,000 persons being employed at the present time. In 1975,'with nearly all building space occ upied, the Brookley Complex entered a new phase of development. Two areas were designated for long term ground lease. The 50 acre Wood City area had already been filled. It houses such diverse tenants as two computer bank centers, a soft drink company, a one million cubic foot refrigeration warehouse facility, and a retail truck center. The second area consisted of 40 acres of industrial complex property, and 300 acres of airport property. Development of the 360 acre area was enhanced by the completion of a rail spur 3 through the property. Long term leases would have been available for those industries wishing to construct a building and improve the property. This area was to attract industry that was labor intensive, similar to those already located on the Complex such as: Teledyne/ Continental Motors, world's largest manufacturer of aircraft piston engines; International Paper Company (Standard Products and Bag Plant Divisions); Dimensional Products, manufacturer of grandfather clocks; Walled Lake Door; and International Systems, Incorporated, which builds concrete modular housing units. However, a portion of the proposed 300 acre airport property has been retained to keep Runway 18/36 in operation. The current areas are shown on the existing land use Map 1 of 6. 1 The Brookley Airport is a general aviation airport handling approximatley 80,000 operations per year, of which 51% are military. It does have Federal Aviation Administration certification to handle carrier service should the need arise. The Brookley Industrial Complex and Airport should provide a strong base for Mobile in the future as both aviation and industry continue to increase in the South. B. Description of the Area The Brookley Industrial Complex and Airport presently consists of the following general areas: 1. The Wood City Area - This area is located on the northwest part of the Complex. It has been cleared of the original wooden structures built as part of Brookley Air Force Base. This 50 acre Wood City Area now houses two computer bank centers, a soft drink company, a one million cubic foot refrigeration warehouse facility, and a retail truck center and other concerns. 4 2. The Airport Area - This 878 acre area is located on the southern part of the complex. It is reserved for use as a general aviation airport. 3. The Existing Buildings Are - This area is located on the northern part of the Complex. It contains the existing usable buildings of which most are currently leased. Those leasing the buildings include Teledyne/Continental Motors Aircraft Production Division, International Systems, Inc., International Paper Company's Standard Products Division and Bagpak Plant, divisions of Alabama Power Company, and many others. 4. The Expansion Areas - One area is located at the west boundard near the northwest end of the existing northwest- southeast runway. This area is currently being used as a trailer staging area by the State of Alabama. It is mostly grass with a few trees. Another area is located in the northeast portion of the Complex bounded on the east by Mobile Bay around a portion of the north e.nd of the existing north-south runway and including portions of the adjacent taxiways. The area which borders on Mobile Bay is covered by a dense growth of bushes, reed grass and small trees. Existing facilities in the expansion area" include wood frame buildings, fuel storage tanks, asphalt streets, concrete taxiway pavements, and numerous underground utility 5 systems. Elevations vary from sea level to 25+ feet above sea level in the area of the existing runway. Relatively good dr ainage conditions exist throughout the area proposed for expansion. 5. The United States Coast Guard Area - This area is located on the northeast part of the complex. The primary mission of this installation is support of the 19 units in the Group Mobile, United States Coast Guard from GulfDort, Hississi-pi to F' Apalachicola, Florida, and inland river stations in the Group Mobile Area. The Mobile units basic missions are search and rescue, maintaining navigation aids, train helicopter pilots, military preparedness, and "on hand" training of the Coast Guard reserves in this area. Aboard the station is a commissary, food services, a gas station and recreational facilities for the Coast Guard personnel. 6. The University of South Alabama Area - This area is located on the east part of the Complex. It is owned and operated by the University of South Alabama as a campus extension of the University. Included in this three million dollars a year operation is an adult studies program, which-handles 20,000 students annually, a continuing adult education center, a nursing program and other education related programs. Additionally, this area houses full food services, and contains a recreational area with an eighteen hole golf course, two swimming pools, and a bowling alley. Some 800 to 1000 faculty, students and others utilize this area as permanent residence. 6 III. EXISTING LAND USE The existing land uses at the Brookley Industrial Complex and Airport are shown by: A.

FOUNDATION CONDITIONS The existing building foundations are constructed on spread footings. The basic preliminary foundation information report for future industrial expansion in the Brookley Industrial Complex was completed May 24, 1979 by Geotechnical Engineering-Testing, Inc. The information contained in this report is for general types of foundations that may be required for proposed structures. Soil boring locations were widely spaced, and the report is general in scope. Final foundation designs for facilities in the area generally should not be made without additional soils explorations and studies for specific structures. This report indicates that, generally, the area is covered by a 5 to 20 feet thick crust of relatively high strength and incompressible soils. These soils are mostly medium and loose relative dense sands with some medium and stiff consistency clays. The crust is generally un'derlain to depths of 40 to 75 feet by very soft to medium consistency cohesive soils which have relatively low strengths and moderate to high compressibilities. These clay soils are underlain by medium to very dense sands. Groundwater was encountered at--depths varying from 3 to 8 feet beneath the existing ground. The report indicates,for the soil conditions which exist over most of the site, relatively light structures can be supported on shallow foundations. The allowable bearing capacity for spread footings located in the upper 2 to 4 feet of the existing soil will generally range from 2000 to :3000 pounds per square foot. Minor settlement, which will depend on both footing size and loading, can be expected, for . shallow foundation construction. Fills and/or relatively heavy floor 19 loads covering large areas will cause settl.ements of the order of 0.5 to 1.0 inch for each 100 pounds per square foot of uniform loading. Heavy structures and/or structures which cannot tolerate the predicted settlements should be supported on piles driven into the medium to very dense sands located approximately 40 to 75 feet below the ground surface. 20 TYPICAL SOIL BORINGS MEDIUM AND LOOSE RELATIVE DENSITY SANDS, SILTY SANDS AND CLAYEY SANDS WITH SOME STIFF CONSISTENCY.

Description The Brookley Industrial Complex and Airport represents one of the few industrial tracts along the Gulf Coast that is readily accessible by road, rail, water and air. The Bro okley Complex is directly connected to Interstate Highway 10, served by the Louisville & Nashville Railroad Company and the Illinois Central Gulf Railroads, and cont'ains an on-.site general aviation airport that is Federal Aviation Administration certified for air carrier service should the need:arise.' 1. STREETS The Brookley Industrial Complex and Airport is directly connected to Interstate Highway 10, by a modified diamond interchange allowing free access to the i"nterstate. This inter-change is situated at the Michigan Avenue entrance. Michigan Avenue is a four-lane divided city street leading north to Government Street (Highway 90) which is Mobile's major east- west artery. This four-laned Michigan Avenue leads into the Brookley property a distance of approximately 900 feet, branching off to serve the industrial property and the aviation property with two-lane streets. From the end of the four lanes to the existing FBO is approximately 1,600 feet of two-lane, and is shared as access to industrial sites. The two-lane portion of the street should be re-aligned, four-laned, and landscaped appropriately as a part of the main entry/access road. A signalization and radius improvement project has been proposed to aid,the peak rush hour traffic and the increase of trucking in the industrial complex. During the peak hour rush., '42 traffic entering the Brookley Complex from the west on Interstate 10 slows to a crawl. The single lane off ramp of the diamond interchange at Michigan Avenue is used by traffic as a two lane exit ramp. This perpetrates a dangerous situation. Traffic is at a near stop in the south travel lane of the eastbound lane of Interstate 10. Traffic congestion at this interchange affects thru travelers as well. The radius improvement portion of this proposal is covered in the overall General Conditions of the on-site street conditions. The second main connector is Broad Street. It is connected to Interstate Highway'10 and affords easy access to the downtown area of Mobile. Broad Street is a four-lane connector that utilizes a section of Washington Avenue which is a two-lane street. Persons traveling to the downtown area from the Brookley Complex via Broad Street encounter Broad Street as a four-lane, Washi'ngton Avenue as a two-lane, and Broad Street as a four-lane., The improvement of this main connector would aid in greater access to the downtown area, and in eliminating dangerous conditions during,peak rush hour periods. The third connector is Old Military Road. Old Military Road is a two-lane road located off of the southwest part of the Complex. This road connects to Dauphin Island Parkway and could be used as a main connector. This road could be re-aligned, four-laned and landscaped appropriately as a main entry/access road, if industrial expansion overloads the existing main connector during non-peak hour rush traffic. In any event, Old Military Road 23 as a two-lane connector to the Complex requires patching and leveling, resurfacing and some shoulder work to in sure its continued use in the f'uture. In general, the existing connectors to the Brookley Industrial Complex and Airport are in fair condition. During non-peak hour traffic periods, these entry/access roads well provide for the needed connectors from the Complex to the existing transportation network outside the Complex. The overall general conditions of the on-site streets would have to be considered fair to poor. Streets have been overlaid almost to the top of the curb in some areas. These streets were designed to utilize the street as a channel to direct water into drainage structures and with two or three overlays, the area of the channel has been reduced. New curbs could be added in these areas to upgrade the streets to their original design capacity, or the overlay could be planed down to the original design depth. Cracked concrete streets could be overlaid, or may need replacing. These streets are mainly located around the lar ger warehouses where truck loading and unloading utilizes the majority of the narrow two-lane streets. One method to improve traffic flows during blockage caused by the loading and unloading of trucks would be to designate these areas as one-way streets. The increasing truck movement within the Complex has deteriorated curbs and drainage structures around intersections mainly along Broad Street (Avenue G). The proposed signalization and radius improvement plan includes a proposal to increase radii to 24 eliminate damaged curbs and drainage structures at intersections. 4, This proposed proect includes the widening of the Inters'.ate 10 eastbound off rammp at'. Michigan Avenue to provide two lane movement into the Complex, and the signalization of the intersection of the off ramp and Michican Avenue, 'he signalization of the Michigan Avenue and Broad Street (Avenue G) intersection, and radius improve- ments along Broad Street '(Avenue G) to 9th Street, and signalization and ra dius improve-ents of Broad Street (Avenue G) and 9th Street. 2. RAILROADS - So@mie of the existing lead tracks, sidings, and spur tracks in the Brookle'y Industrial Complex and Airport are owned by the City of Mobile; others are.owned by the Louisville and Nashville Rallroad Company and the Illinois Central Gulf Railroads; and still others by private industry, and are shown on the Existing Land Use Map contained elsewhere herein. The Brookley Industrial Complex and Airport is served by the Louisville & Nashville Railroad and the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad six days a week. Rail carrier service from the.Louisville & Nashville Railroad runs west to New Orleans where it connects with other major rail carriers. The Louisville & Nashville runs north and east serving the Midwest and connects in the East to its parent company, the Seaboard Coast Line which serves the eastern United States. The Illinois Central Gulf Railroad rail carrier service runs north to jackson, Missis sippi where it connects to its main north-south line. It also connects to New Orleans and serves the Midwest. 25 An industrial district occupant may not require rail service, however, the availability of the rail service assures the industry of continuous service in the event of widespread strikes in, other transportation industry. The existing rail carrier service can be extended to some existing buildings, vacant land and the proposed expansion area. The recent completion of a spur track to Building 17 shows an approximate cost of $75.00 per linear foot for the extension of ra il carrier service within the Complex. 3. AIRPORT -.The Brookley Airport is a general aviation airport handling approximately@ 80,000 operations per year, of which 51% are military. It is Federal Aviation Administration certified to handle carrier service should the need arise. In the event an air carrier cannot land at another airport, the Brookley Airport has a control tower, runway lights, serviceable runways, fire-fig hting equipment, and personnel, and upon notice can receive air carriers. The airport is operated and funded by the City of Mobile. The primary runway 14/32 is 9600 feet long.and 200 feet wide, and the secondary runway 18/36 is 8500 feet long and 150 feet wide. Tower control is provided 11 hours a day, from 8:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M., seven days a week by City personnel. Two fixed base operators, South Alabama General Aviation and Teledyne Brookley General Aviation, provide total aviation services. The Brookley Airport can handle 125 based aircraft and provide for 175,000 operations per year. 26 Brookley Airport has two serviceable runways with an interconnE-cting taxiway system and one large apron area. Runway 18/36 was.built in 1942 and may be considered in fair condition for light loads. Runway 14/32 was built in 1942 and rebuilt in 1958. It is the primary runway and is 9,600 feet long. The original 5,000 feet of 10 inch concrete pavement became quite rough and unsafe. The northwest end was replaced with 16 inch and 14 inch concrete pavement. The remaining pavement was covered with 4 inches of broken concrete and topped with 4 inches of asphaltic concrete. The sides were contained by the addition of 13 inch thick by 25 feet wide concrete slabs on each side. This added stability to the soil and provided a 200 foot wide runway. The southeast end was@extended and a new 14 inch concrete pavement constructed on the critical end section. A parallel taxiway and a warmup pad were also constructed to serve the extension on the southeast end., The strength of the runways as determined by application of FAA evaluation to U.S.A.F. records is shown in the following table: Runwa Single Gear Dual Gear Tandem Gear, 14-32 75+ M 185 M 325 M 18-36 56 M 77 M 131 M The north portion of the apron is in fair to good condition. The south portion of the apron is in fair to excellent condition. The taXiways were constructed mainly in 1943, and are in fair to good condition. 27 UTILITIES A. Descripti)n Utilities in the Brookley Industrial Complex and Airport'were installed mainly in the 1940's. The Complex was a small "City" with its own water supply, sanitary sewer systems and treatment plants, steam facilities and storTn drainage system. The utilities were upgraded and expanded beginning in 1958 in accordance with a master plan by J.Gordon Turnbull, Inc. The existing utilities in the Brookley Complex are basically in good shape. ThE! Mobile Water and Sewer Board has control over the wat er supply and sanitary sewage system. The gas service is provided and maintained by the Mobile Gas Service Corporation. Electrical transmission lines are owned and mainteined by the City of Mobile for the airport, and by the Alabama POWE!r Company for the Brookley Complex and parts of the airport. The storm drainage system is owned and maintained by the City of Mobile. B. Maps included that show the existing utilities in use are: 1. Existing water and sanitary sewer -system.-- Map 2 of 6 2. Existing gas. Map 3 of 6 3. Existing electrical transmission lines. Map 4 of 6 4. Existing storm drainage system. Map 5 of 6 C. Example of Industrial Utilization Map 6 of Ei is included showing a possible industrial development plan for one of the proposed expansion areas. The proposed development of ,available airport property is for 115 acres. This proposal includes the extension of roads, railroad, utilities, and other changes as necessary. 28 To develop '115 acres of available airport property as shown, approximate costs are: Roads - $ 514,920 Light-Ing - 105,600 Railroads - 561,000 Drainage - 825,000 Water - 260,000 Sewage - 380,000 Total $2,646,520 115 ac.

EXISTING BUILDINGS. A. Description The buildings on the Brookley Industrial Complex and Airport were mainly constructed in the 1940's. The first construction work began on June 20, 1940. In 1964, whe n the decision was made to de- activate the Brookley Air Force Base, one of the deciding factors leading to the de-activation was "a rapid building deterioration." Realizing this, thE! majority of wooden structures and buildings beyond economical repair were removed from the Brookley Complex by the City of Mobile. After extensive damage by Hurricane Frederic, more buildings were judged economically unrepairable. The conditions of the buildings that remain vary from excellent to "to be demolished." B.

ENERGY INDUSTRY The demands on the City of Mobile by the energy industry include the planning, management, and maintenance of transportation to the sites, access to the sites, and the siting of energy industry. Energy for the City of Mobile is primarily derived from petroleum products, natural gas, and e'lectricity. Petroleum refineries, gas-a-hol plants natural gas processing, treatment and liquid extraction plants, storage tanks, electric generating plants, coal handling facilities, major transmission lines and other energy-related facilities are located in Mobile County. Petroleum producing areas are the Citronelle and South Carlton oil fields; the natural gas recovery operations are located in Chunchula and Hatter's Pond Fields; and Alabama Power Company supplies electrica'I power for the area. The development and processing of energy resou*rces is important to the economy of the entire Gulf Coast area. This area is growing rapidly and energy resources will have to grow accordingly to keep pace. This in turn, will increase employment opportunities for the people residing in this area. Growing demands for new and existing sources of energy has set the Nation in motion in the search for the siting of new and existing energy industry. A shift in population centers has been predicted to be moving closer to the center of cities as existing energy resources become increasingly scarce. Since some heavy industrial activity can lower property values for residential and recreational uses, industrial acitivities of this nature should be located in areas where the impacts are of a lesser nature. 52 The Brookle@ Complex is a vital part of the City of Vobile, and is compatible with new and existing energy industry. and ne-e., and existing energy-related industry. The Brookley Complex is ..;ell suited to support industry of the type of the growing gas-a-hol ind!,stry, photovoltaic power plants, space heating and air conditioning, solar furnaces, solar distillatIon processing, wind-driven generators, solar heat. engines,'as well as energy-related industries. The Complex is already being used by Alabama Power Company to store transmission line supplies, and could be utilized by providing management offices, warehouses, areas for assembly of e-nergy-related supplies, and manufacturing of machined parts required for the energy industry. The facilities available at the Brookley Co-..plex and Airport are somewhat limited due to the present occupancy rate of the existing land and buildings. There are two plots of vacant acreage-currently available for lease in the existing building area. One is located west of Building Number 292 and north of Section D of Building Number 291. This vacant plot consists of approximately 3.2 acres and could be utilized by the energy-related industry as a storage site, by housing management offices, or assembly of energy related supplies. 7he other plot of vacant acreage in the existing building area is located along Avenue "C" and Ninth Street, and contains approximately 6.3 acres. This vacant plot could be utilized to support most of the enercy-related industry and the energy industry requiring this amount of acreage. Both of these vacant plots are bordered by railroad spurs and could utilize rail carrier service if desired. At a reasonably economical cost, these plots. could be made site-ready in a short period of time. J_Is shown on the example development for the 115 acre site, site development costs per 53 acre are estimated as $23,013 for the relocation of utilities, the extension of roads, and the extension of rail service. Building Number 23-A, Section A and Section B, containing 37,464 square feet, is currently available for lease. This space could be utilized by the energy industry for storage or assembly of energy-related supplies. Building Number 223, containing 1,676 square feet is currently available for lease. This building is on the 6.3 acre tract of land discussed above and could be used in conjunction with its development. There are two vacant fuel tanks numbers 584 and 585. These 18,500 gallon and 105,000 gallon capacity tanks could be utilized by the petroleum and petroleum-related energy industry of the nature of the e),isting La Gloria Oil & Gas Company. Additional acreage that could be made available consists of th6 excess airport property and a 40 acre tract near the-Wood City Area which is currently being used by the State of Alabama as a trailer staging area, and is shown on the Existing Land Use Map. This area could be utilized fully to support the light energy industry and all of the energy-related industry. There are 115 acres located around a portion of the north end of the existing north-south runway and including portions of the adjacent taxiways. One method of developing this area is shown on the drawing entitled "Example" contained elsewhere herein. This area could be utilized for some heavy "clean" energy industry and for all energy-related industry. There is another 30 acres that could be utilized for light energy industry. This area borders along Mobile Bay Front between the Coast Guard Station and the University of South Alabama areas. However, in order to utilize any of this acreage, steps would have to be taken to re-Zone these areas as required to allow development.of. 54 this nature. The E!XiSting Brookley Industrial Complex and Airport is zoned as shown on Page 56. In the energy industry, there are many good, clean heavy energy industry that requires 1-2 zoning; such as wind-driven generating facilit'@es, solar heating collectors, and solar hot water systems. The expansion areas are currently zoned residential-agricultural and 1-2. A segment of the 1-2 zone at shown on page 56 , at the north end of Runway 18/36 should be rezoned to current airport zoning requirements. If the proposed industrial,development example is followed as a possible expansion plan, this would require the rezoning from the present residen- tial-agricultural i:o 1-2 and I-1 zoning. Those cities that have carefully and methodically prepared them- ,selves for economic growth are in the best competitive positions to acquire new industry. The proper zoning of a piece of property is one factor that industrial prospects expect to be completed. For this reason, careful consideration should be given to the future use of the Complex and-rezoning pursued if this is considered to be the desired course of action by the officials of the City of Mobile. The existing utilities at the Brookley Industrial Complex and Airport are shown on existing utilities maps contained elsewhere herein. These utilities are owned and maintained by the various utility companies listed in the description of the utilities preceeding the utilities maps. The utiliti es are in good condition and are capable of being expanded as necessary to serve areas that are vacant and areas proposed for industrial development. The energy industry and its ancillary activities is a rapidly expanding field. With energy shortages becoming commonplace, the need for economical siting and access to sites is of extreme importance. 55 LHG i --$- d Existing R-A'Zoning j Existing Zoning (Others) R-1 Required Rezoning -for Scheme 1 B.Z NOTE: Rezoning required for Scheme 1 includes 1-2 to R-A, 40]LL- R-A to I-1, and R-A to 1-2.
