Leaves turn from their summer shades of green to rusty shades of reds, yellows and oranges. Th e warm nights are ushered in by cooler temperatures, and stores begin to set up their autumn displays. Fall is a time that is loved by many, and for most, a time of celebration and cheer to welcome the winter season. However, for some who are struggling with thoughts of suicide, it can be a time of intense sadness and depression. While Suicide Prevention Month is observed across the U.S. in September, all Airmen have a duty to be true Wingmen to their peers 24/7, 365 days a year. It includes getting to know our fellow Air- men, from the newest shop mate to the most senior one. It means being aware of what is going on in their lives, support- ing them through diffi cult times, recog- nizing the signs of suicidal thoughts and taking action.

OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION Juneau, Alaska 99811-1800 OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONER Phone: 907-465-5066 Fax: 907-465-5070 www.dec.state.ak.us October 20, 2008 Elin Miller, Regional Administrator U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 10 1200 Sixth Avenue, Suite 900 Mail Code: RA-140 Seattle, WA 98101-3140 Dear Ms. Miller: The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) has reviewed your th August 18 letter regarding EPA’s PM2.5 designations for Alaska and the nonattainment boundaries for the communities of Fairbanks and Juneau. We have carefully considered the available data and analyses. ADEC believes the available scientific evidence does not support EPA’s boundary recommendations which substantially expand upon those recommended by us. ADEC believes public health will be protected and the applicable legal requirements met by taking the actions described in this letter, which include a proposed nonattainment boundary for the Fairbanks area that is larger than originally proposed by ADEC, but smaller than proposed by EPA. For Juneau, we are requesting EPA revisit certain assumptions and include data from 2008 before making a final decision on whether a nonattainment designation is warranted, and if so, the appropriate boundaries of the nonattainment area. Protecting public health is a goal we share with EPA. As you are already aware, we are proactively and expeditiously working with the local governments to address identified PM2.5 concerns in Fairbanks and Juneau. To this end, ADEC does not believe EPA’s proposed boundaries will ultimately assist in protecting public health.

It was one of four identical hangars constructed along the flightline and the last to remain standing. By 1958, Building 1190 was used as an Air Terminal Operations Center (ATOC) to ship supplies to locations throughout the world. It continued in this capacity until 2013, when it was acquired by the Alaska Air National Guard and used for storage. Due to the deteriorated condition of the wooden structure, it is scheduled for demolition. The hangar is significant for its distinctive bow arch construction, its association with the first wave of construction that supported U.S. reconnaissance activities against the Soviet Union during the Cold War, and its later mission as an international air freight terminal.
