  • 4.8 Hazards and Hazardous Materials 4.8.1
    4.8 HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS Human-caused hazards that may potentially have an effect on the Specific Plan Area include hazardous and toxic materials (including facilities regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency [EPA], hazardous waste and disposal, toxic releases, leaking underground storage tanks [LUSTs], and utility pipelines), military installations, other airports and airport hazards, and potential adverse human health effects from exposure to electric and magnetic fields (EMFs). The following section describes the existing conditions of these hazards in and within the vicinity of the Specific Plan Area. This section analyzes the significance of potential impacts related to hazards associated with historic and current land uses of the Specific Plan Area and surrounding uses, as well as potential impacts related to hazardous materials that may be introduced by the Specific Plan. 4.8.1 EXISTING CONDITIONS This section describes the hazards and hazardous materials, including “Recognized Environmental Conditions” (REC) that are located within the Specific Plan Area. As defined in the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard Practice E 1527-05, a REC is “the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products on a property under conditions that indicate an existing release, a part release, or a material threat of a release of any hazardous substances or petroleum products into structures on the property or into the ground, groundwater, or surface water of the property.” The information on RECs is based on Hazardous Materials Assessment Report Northeast Fairfield Station Area, Fairfield, CA prepared by ENGEO, Inc.

  • The Cold War and Beyond
    Contents Puge FOREWORD ...................... u 1947-56 ......................... 1 1957-66 ........................ 19 1967-76 ........................ 45 1977-86 ........................ 81 1987-97 ........................ 117 iii Foreword This chronology commemorates the golden anniversary of the establishment of the United States Air Force (USAF) as an independent service. Dedicated to the men and women of the USAF past, present, and future, it records significant events and achievements from 18 September 1947 through 9 April 1997. Since its establishment, the USAF has played a significant role in the events that have shaped modem history. Initially, the reassuring drone of USAF transports announced the aerial lifeline that broke the Berlin blockade, the Cold War’s first test of wills. In the tense decades that followed, the USAF deployed a strategic force of nuclear- capable intercontinental bombers and missiles that deterred open armed conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. During the Cold War’s deadly flash points, USAF jets roared through the skies of Korea and Southeast Asia, wresting air superiority from their communist opponents and bringing air power to the support of friendly ground forces. In the great global competition for the hearts and minds of the Third World, hundreds of USAF humanitarian missions relieved victims of war, famine, and natural disaster. The Air Force performed similar disaster relief services on the home front. Over Grenada, Panama, and Libya, the USAF participated in key contingency actions that presaged post-Cold War operations. In the aftermath of the Cold War the USAF became deeply involved in constructing a new world order. As the Soviet Union disintegrated, USAF flights succored the populations of the newly independent states.

U.S. Geological Survey 7.5-minute quadrangle, Elmira, California (1980), Universal Transverse Coordinates: 4235340.591897. Significance: Building 810 is significant as an excellent example of a double-cantilever, medium bomber hangar used for maintenance of the B-36. It was one of the first such double-bay bomber hangars erected nationwide by the Strategic Air Command (SAC). The B-36 was SAC's first long-range, intercontinental bomber carrying nuclear weapons, the only aircraft during the early years of the Cold War capable of reaching-and returning from­ the Soviet Union. This maintenance hangar, in response to the size of the bomber, was monumental. Similar structures were built at SAC installations between 1952 and 1957. The double-cantilever, B-36 hangar was one of the first symbolic military structures of the Cold War; its physical size foreshadowed the moleholes and alert apron of the B-52 and KC-135 tanker (Geo-Marine, 1996). Description: This building is an oversized, steel frame, and open-truss hangar, with a flat roof, reinforced, concrete slab foundation and metal-deck roof.

    FOREWARD Your Air Force Reserve is a combat- ready force, composed of more than 70,000 proud reservists, stationed locally throughout the United States, serving globally for every Combatant Command around the world. We provide our Nation with operational capability, strategic depth and surge capacity whenever America needs us. We are an integrated Total Force partner in every Air Force core mission: Air and Space Superiority, Global Strike, Rapid Global Mobility, Intelligence, Surveillance, James F. Jackson, and Reconnaissance, and Command Lt Gen, USAF and Control. In an increasingly limited fiscal environment, reservists remain efficient and cost-effective solutions to our nation’s challenges. The majority of our Citizen Airmen serve part time, making us a highly efficient force, averaging about a third of the cost of active duty Airmen. Perhaps our greatest strength is we retain ‘Airmen for life,’ preserving the considerable investments and expertise of our Airmen beyond their Cameron B. Kirksey, active duty service. In times of crisis, we Command CMSgt can call upon our strategic depth of an additional 785,000 Airmen from the Individual Ready Reserve, Standby Reserve, Retired Reserve and Retired Active Duty. To meet future challenges, the Air Force Reserve works as a member of the “Total Force”, alongside active duty and Air National Guardsmen. This strong, three-component team is ready for combat or humanitarian relief operations worldwide. Since 2012, the Air Force Reserve can also be mobilized to respond to domestic requirements here at home. 01 Dual-use capabilities such as airlift, aeromedical evacuation and personnel recovery are equally valuable, both in-theater and for homeland support.
