Air Force Leader Celebrates First DoD Privatized Cleanup

McCLELLAN, CA -- Sept. 30, officials gathered to celebrate the nation's first successful privatized environmental cleanup at a DOD Superfund site. Doris Matsui, Congressional Representative for California's 5th District and Air Force Deputy Assistant Secretary, Timothy K. Bridges, spoke at the event held at the former McClellan AFB, Sacramento, CA.

"This cleanup is the first of its kind on a closed military base that's a Superfund site. And it will not be the last. Here at McClellan, the Air Force has already transferred 560 more acres, and we are in final negotiations to transfer 515 more -- using the exact same approach," said Bridges.
