The decisions included in this ROD have been made in consideration of the Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement for the Disposal and Environmental Impact Report for Reuse (FPEIS) of Reese AFB, TX, which was filed with the Environmental Protection Agency on August 8 1997, and other relevant considerations. Reese AFB closed September 30, 1997, pursuant to the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990, (Public Law 101-510) and the [[Page 42098]] recommendations of the Defense Secretary's Commission on Base Realignment and Closure. This ROD documents the Reese AFB disposal decisions. The Air Force has decided to dispose of the approximately 2467 acres fee and 516 acres of easements at Reese AFB and the 520 acres fee and 140 acres of easements at the non-contiguous landing field in Terry County in the following manner: Parcel A (approximately 20 acres), and Parcel B (approximately 21 acres) will be assigned to the Department of Education for conveyance to Texas Tech University and South Plains College, respectively. Parcel C (approximately 40 acres) will be assigned to the Department of Interior and will be conveyed for public park or recreation use. Parcel D (approximately 1 acre) will be conveyed to the City of Lubbock for law enforcement purposes. Parcels E and F (approximately 2906 acres fee and approximately 656 acres of easements) will be conveyed to the Lubbock/Reese Redevelopment Authority (LRRA) by an Economic Development Conveyance (EDC). If for any reasons all or portions of Parcels A, B, C, and D are not conveyed for their intended Public Benefit Purposes, they will be added to Parcel E. The uses proposed for the property by the prospective recipients of the property under the ROD are included in the proposed action in the FPEIS and are consistent with the community's revised redevelopment plan for the base. The LRRA prepared the plan with the assistance of the broader community. By this decision, the Air Force adopts certain mitigation measures, as described in this ROD, to protect public health and the environment. In response to the existing or forecasted environmental impacts to or in the area of Reese AFB, subsequent property owners should consider implementation of the more specific mitigation measures associated with reuses they may undertake, as set forth in Chapter 4 of the FEIS. Any questions regarding this matter should be directed to: Mr. Mike Ruzila, Program Manager, Division C, AFBCA/DC, 1700 North Moore Street, Suite 2300, Arlington, VA 22209-2809, (703) 696-5260.
