He said Kelly's environmental bill to date totals $235 million and he estimates it'll take $250 million more to bring the base's environmental problems into Environmental Agency and Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission compliance. AFMC Public Affairs - KELLY AFB, Texas (AFMCNS) Cleaning up environmental contamination and getting ready for the "new ten- Air Force Base Conversion Agency staff will continue now that Kelly has closed its gates. Air Force officials transferred Kelly's 1,879 acres and more than 600 facilities to the Greater Kelly Development Authority. And just like when moving from one home to another, someone has to help transfer the deeds and clean up after the former tenants move out. The AFBCA and a team of their contracted partners are servas the real estate ing agents and cleaning crew, according to Adam Antwine, AFBCA's senior representative here. "Our mission is to execute the environmental programs and real and personal property disposal for major Air Force bases in the United States being closed or realigned under the Base Closure and Realignment Act," Antwine said. "We're responsible for helping communities convert those bases from military to civilian use and making sure property at those installations is made available for reuse as quickly and efficiently as possible." According to Antwine, Kelly has more than 35 sites that need environmental cleanup. Those range from soil contamination that could be fixed in a few months to ground T r closure occurs." AFBCA has been at Kelly since 1995 when Defense Department officials announced Kelly was to be inactivated under the Base Closure and Realignment Act. They've controlled Kelly's environmental issues since December 2000, and Antwine said the last environmental remedy is expected to be in place by 2004. To allow Greater Kelly Development Authority officials to start working its plans for the base, they've entered a lease with the Air Force. "That way they can start their development efforts, attracting new businesses and getting more jobs to this community" before deeds are transferred, Antwine said: v .

The planned interception took place about 10 minutes after the interceptor was launched, at an altitude of more than 140 miles above the Earth. The interceptor destroyed the unarmed warhead at about 15,000 mph. The test was conducted in support of the Ground-baseDefense Segment, formerly called the National Missile Defense Program, by the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization in Washington, and the 30th Space Wing, Vandenberg AFB, Mid-cour- se d Calif. An ICBM target vehicle was launched from Vandenberg at 10:40 p.m. EDT. The ICBM prototype interceptor was launched from the Ronald Reagan Missile Site Kwajalein Atoll in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, 4,800 miles away, about 20 minutes later. "The early indications we have is that everything worked in a nominal mode," said Lt. Gen. Ronald Kadish, director of BMDO. "These tests take several weeks to deduce the data, but we believe we have a successful test in all aspects at this time," he said. This test, though, is one stop on a journey. We have a long road ahead in all the missile defense activities." Kadish said he does not know for sure if the test met all objectives. "In all probability, some of them were not (met) ," he said. "But the early indications are that we have performance in every one of the objectives of the test." Full test results would be available in two months, he said. This is the first launch in support of the program this year. The last launch took place July 7, 2000. As the missileers cheered their success, airmen from 30th Security Forces Squadron took four Greenpeace members into custody for trespassing on Vandenberg's Minuteman and Brown beaches during the launch operation. Vandenberg's 76th Helicopter Flight performed a medivac rescue mission for two of the trespassers, who had been in the waters off the beaches. They were treated for hypothermia. The four were later transferred to the Kern County Jail. (American Forces Information Service contributed to this story.)
