" .' " . "'. . II NEW BUSINESS lie OPERABLE UNIT 21CAMU Mike Fix presented background information on the cleanup efforts at the site. He also discussed th'e potential impact of national government funding cuts on the cleanup I' process. In light of less funding, the feasibility studies on the cleanup of,the TCAAP site have been broadened to include more cost-effective solutions, while still considering legal and environmental requJeements. Fix cautioned that there is not written policy aD thill yet, Ii but that there have already been significant b~dget cuts to the TCAAP site bud let. Wbile items cut may not impact the cleanup too badly this fiscal year, the funding picture is I unclear at this point as to the future. Denny Probst ssked if the degree of clean-up will be revisited since there is less funding (i.e. perhaps not clean ilie entire sHe to the cleanest, "residential. level). Mike Fix stated that if the commiuee recommends land-use I ideas that impact the amount of clean-up, tbe process may move quicker (while once again cautioning tbat the cleanup bas to achieve standards to make sure that health and environmental safety is achieved). A discussion followed on the TCAAP site cleanup 11 efforts as they fit into national priorities (e.g. oilier sites that may currently be risking the bealth and safety of citi:l:ens, as compared to the TCAAP site, where those types of present risks have already been remediated). Mike Fix stated tbat, under certain Ii circumstances, it could become cheaper for the Department of Defense to continue to own the property and maintain security and fence lines, rather than to cleanup and dispense of the property.
