Navy Will Revise Hangar One Report!

Submitted by admin on Tue, 2006-07-25 10:58.

We haven't yet won the war to save Hangar One, but this is an important win!

The Navy's Rick Weissenborn said in an email to RAB members on July 25:

The Navy has decided to issue a revised EE/CA for Hangar One (Site 29) at Moffett Field and seek additional public comment. This decision to revise the EE/CA is based on concerns expressed by the public in review of the EE/CA published on May 5, 2006, new information received by the Navy in response to those concerns, and new information received in response to requests for proposals for performance of the Removal Action work. A schedule for the submittal of the Revised EE/CA is currently under preparation.

This is good news, no doubt.

This is good news, no doubt. The delay by itself is a partial victory. I wonder, though, how to interpret the what Rick is saying here.

"new information received by the Navy in response to those concerns"

The Eshoo letter perhaps, raising the idea of Hangar One as an emergency supply base? Other political pressure?

"new information received in response to requests for proposals for performance of the Removal Action work."

Was the feedback they were getting from contractors that the demolition was going to cost north of $30M?

Anyone else want to take a stab at decoding Rick's statement?
