Navy Plans Meetings on Its El Toro Report
The Navy will review an environmental report on the closure of the El Toro Marine Corps Air Station at two public meetings this week.
Law requires the Navy to prepare an environmental impact statement evaluating potential effects of waste disposal and reuses of the base, which is scheduled for closure in 1999.
The report addresses transportation, noise, air quality, hazardous-waste disposal, land-use issues and natural resources.
The meetings will be at 5:30 p.m. today at Mission Viejo High School, 25025 Chrisanta Drive, and at 7 p.m. Thursday at Irvine City Hall, One Civic Center Plaza.
Residents who are unable to attend the meetings can submit comments or questions by mail. Correspondence should be sent to the Commander, Southwest Division, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, 1220 Pacific Highway, San Diego, CA 92132-5190 (Attn: Dan Muslin, code 232). Letters must be received by Dec. 6.
