Re: George Air Force Base, CA, “EPA Superfund ID: CA2570024453″

Dear Ms. Deborah Lee James, SECAF:

Please request a new Public Health Assessment for the former George Air Force Base, CA, “EPA Superfund ID: CA2570024453″.

The Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board recently released Deed Restrictions for George Air Force Base as required by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) §120(h).

Because of these CERCLA §120(h) Deed Restrictions, we now know that there were numerous Completed Exposure Pathways (CEPs) to the George AFB personnel,their families, civilian employees, and the surrounding community. The contaminated buildings, soil, air, upper and lower aquifers(these contaminated aquifers were the source for municipal and domestic drinking water supply wells for George AFB, Adelanto, several homes, and the Victor Valley Country Club) provided the Completed Exposure Pathways.

Hundreds, possibly thousands, of people, including children, are sick, dying, or dead afterexposure to the extremely toxic contamination at George AFB. We desperately need the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) to conduct a new Public Health Assessment for George Air Force Base sothat we can get medical care for friends and families,andhelp bring closure for those who lost their loved ones.

Please direct the Air Force to:

  1. Grant the “Public-Interest Fee Waivers” status to
  2. Grant the “Representative Of The News Media” status to
  3. Declassify the records pertaining to the source of and the contamination at George AFB
  4. Release all of the records pertaining to the contamination at George AFB
  5. Release all of the Epidemiological, Environmental, Health Surveys for George AFB
  6. Request a new ATSDR Public Health Assessment for George AFB
  7. Notify the former base personnel of their exposure to potentially life threatening environmental contamination at George AFB
  8. Notify the Department of Veterans Affairs about our Veterans’ potentialexposureto hazardous chemicals at the former George Air Force Base so these veterans can get medical care
  9. Notify CHAMPVAabout our families’ potential exposureto hazardous chemicals at the former George Air Force Base so that our families can get medical care
  10. Notify the San Bernardino County Health Officer thatpeople living in the surrounding community were potentially exposed to hazardous chemicals fromthe former George Air Force Base so thesepeople can get medical care

In closing, Ms.Deborah Lee James,as the Secretary of the Air Force, you are in a unique position to correct this injustice. Please help us.

Thank you,
