In response to a question about which standard was most stringent, Mr. Beyer stated thatstandard 1 is the most stringent, but that it was not economically feasible to always clean up tothat standard. Additionally, Mr. Beyer stated that TNRCC had evaluated the Kelly proposaland found it to be protective of the human health and the environment.
Mr. Beyer also discussed the US Environmental Protection Agency's role in the clean up ofKelly Air Force Base. The EPA has authorized TNRCC to evaluate Base clean up proposals

KELLY AR # 3363 Page 6 of 50
Minutes of the 12th Meeting of theKelly Air Force Base Restoration Advisory Board11 December, 1995 - Price Elementary School
• Government property cannot be sold (a deed cannot be transferred) before EPA certifiesthat the property is clean. This does not prevent a long-term lease. EPA will hold closingmilitary bases to the same safe standards as with any industry clean-up.
• One full-time employee will be arriving in January (from EPA) to work directly with theKelly Base Closure Team.
• He clarified the RAB's role in the BRAC procss as advisory rather than a decisionmaking committee. RAB members are individuals providing input and a majority opinionis not required for opinions to be considered.
• Regulators - EPA and TNRCC have the final decision regarding when clean up is done andwhether 30 years is a normal time frame for groundwater clean-up. The State does look atthe time frame and selects the most appropriate process for clean-up. EPA and TNRCCwork with on and off-site locations.
• Mr. Quintanilla questioned Mr. Overhay concerning lowered property values (off-base)caused by contamination. Mr. Overhay stated that EPA cannot remedy this problem.
ITEM XI - Review/Plan Next Meeting

El Sr. Beyer explicó que TNRCC evaluó Ia propuesta de Kelly y encontróque el plan de limpieza propuesto proteje Ia salud y el ambiente.
El Sr. Beyer también explicó Ia ingerencia de la Agencia de Protección Ambiental (EPA) en elplan de limpieza de Ia Base Aérea Kelly.

Varios miembros de Ia Junta hicieron preguntas a! Sr. Beyer quien respondió a éstas de Iasiguiente forma:
• La Dirección del Departamento Ambiental de Ia Base Aérea Kelly hace recomendacionessobre las normas para limpieza del ambiente. Estas recomendaciones son revisadas yaprobadas por el Comandante de Ia Base quien las envia a TNIRCC.
• La Base Aérea Kelly no ha solicitado cambiar Ia clasificación del aculfero ilano.
• Los tanques para almacenaje de productos son considerados en otro programa diferente y porlo tanto son considerados bajo otras normas.

El Sr. Quintanilla indicó que éI, hablando corno ciudadano y anombre de los vecinos de Ia Base Aérea Kelly, cree que las normas de limpieza son muy bajasy que el tiempo de limpieza propuesto de 30 ailos es muy largo.

Sound wave test to map soils,gravels, water under East KellyResidents along the East Kelly bound-aries may hear a sound like muffled gun-shots as the baseattempts to build a 3-dimensional underground map usingsound waves. The goal is to use soundwaves to look for areas of gravel or sandwhere shallow underground water col-lects or moves.
The testing will last from Dec. 12 untilDec. 17. The equipment is anew technol-ogy, not yet in widespread use. Kelly'stests will determine how well the equip-ment functions in tight clays and siltysoils.
To produce the sound waves, a smallamount of liquid propane is placed in thetop of a cone-shaped device. When it isignited, the muffled "bang" sends soundwaves into the ground. A listening devicethen measures how ion git takes the soundto bounce back from underground. Soundtravels at different speeds in differenttypes of soils.
The goal is to obtain measurementsthat show where old stream beds arelocated and whether or not shallow un-derground water is present. A secondgoal is to record the depth and conditionof the underlying Navarro clay layer.Cracks, channels and eroded spots on thetop of the Navarro clay are also likelycollection points for shallow undergroundwater.Current as of December 1995
An environmental company, CH2MHill, will be conducting the test, called ahigh resolution seismic survey, as part ofthe remedial investigation for Zone 4(East Kelly). The project will cost ap-proximately$15,000. Thecontractorwillgenerate about 200 data points duringthis project.
The proposed line for data collectionwill be on the west side ofEast Kelly fromaround the Family Campground down tothe southwest corner, and then along thesouth boundary of East Kelly throughthe Defense Logistics Agency storageyards towards the water tower. Theactual test points may be moved, depend-ing on site accessibility, undergroundutilities, or distances required betweencontrol points.
)
The sound wavesmay resemble muffledgunshots.. informationis collected as thesound waves bounceback from variouslayers of soil or clay.,,
KELLY AR # 3363 Page 48 of 50
The survey at East Kelly wifi use "highresolution seismic" equipment that wasdesigned for exploring shallow layers ofsimilar material.
WHAT IT CAN DOThe sound waves will be traveling
through black and brown clays, into theclayey gravels (where shallow undergroundwater collects), and then into the Navarroclay. The contractor expects enough of asound change from the saturated gravelsto the Navarro clay to identify the under-ground layers. The contractor also hopesto be able to find and map the change frombrown clay to clayey gravel.
If the system performs as expected, itwill essentially create simplified boringlogs without installing a soil boring orwell. This is helpful because sound wavemapping will cost considerably less thansoil borings or monitoring wells.
This would allow the base to explorethe shallow underground areas along thebase boundaries using testing points thatare much closer together on the same bud-get that would provide oniy a few wells orborings. By getting better data about un-derground spots where water moves orcollects, the base can design more efficientcleanup systems.
If the seismic survey is successful, it
will give Kelly AFB another tool to use infinthng and cleaning impacted ground-water.
