Moore St., Ste 2300 1611 Arnold Drive Arlington, VA 2209-2802 Alexandria, LA 71303-5636 Dear Messrs. Lowas and Miller: The Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) and United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 together have determined that a portion of the former England Air Force Base, Alexandria, is Ready for Reuse. We congratulate you on this noteworthy accomplishment! Each agency would like to express their deepest appreciation to the Air Force Real Property Agency (AFRPA), and the England Economic and Industrial Development District (EEIDD), for their cooperation. A Ready for Reuse Determination is an acknowledgment by both agencies that environmental conditions on the property are protective of human health and the environment based on its current and anticipated future use. The subject of this Ready for Reuse Determination is the expanded golf course that encompasses a portion of the former England Air Force base. The Oakwing Golf Club is a public eighteen-hole course located along the scenic banks of Bayou Rapides and Bayou Le Tig. The expanded golf course is comprised of approximately 220 acres. Additionally, the course is a member of the prestigious “Audubon Golf Trail” and has recently completed construction of a new state-of-the-art clubhouse. One of the common goals of EEIDD, AFRPA, LDEQ, and EPA Region 6, is to make use of assets of the former base to offset the local economic impact of closure of the base.

Actually, I exchanged intelligence information with him. Hoffman and Bailey advised me that no firm decision has as yet been made with regard to the retention of the training function at Dix. On Novem­ ber 5, Marty Hotfman will receive a briefing by Army staff on pos­ sible "back fill'' organizations that may be available to go to Dix in the event the training function moves out.

No subject in many years has stimu- lated more interest or evoked more ques- tions than this. So many inquiries were received by the Transportation Section that a special request was made for em- ployees not planning immediate vacations to delay their questions. The Canal administration moved quick- ly when news was received that President Eisenhower had signed the bill into law. The plan was made effective immediately and employees leaving the next day on the Panama Line were given an oppor- tunity to accept free transportation.
