Howard Air Force Base The Air Force continued to use Howard as a deployment site for joint training exercises during the 1950's and by December 1961 all USAF flying operations in Panama relocated to Howard. On Oct. 1, 1963 the Air Force officially reclaimed Howard from the Army and the base has played the central role in US military operations in Latin America ever since, largely due to its 8500-foot runway and its status as the only jet capable US air field south of the Rio Grande. Howard Air Force Base, along with the neighboring Fort Kobbe and the Farfan residential zone, were turned over to the Panamanian government in late 1999 as part of a treaty that will transfer all canal operations to the Central American country by the end of the year. www.globalsecurity.org /military/facility/howard.htm   (1022 words)

The landfill property was leased from the Air Force by the County during the period of landfill operation (January 1972 to February 1989). Based on available sampling data, ATSDR found that levels of PCBs ingested by consuming approximately one 8-ounce meal per month of catfish from Woods Reservoir are not likely to cause an unacceptable increased cancer risk, but do exceed the comparison value for noncancer health effects (the MRL). Based on their recollection, these women consumed about one and a half 8-ounce meals of fish from Lake Michigan per month during their pregnancies; median PCB concentrations in different species of Lake Michigan fish [cooked] have been reported to range from 0.17 ppm to 3.01 ppm. www.atsdr.cdc.gov /HAC/PHA/arnoldafb/arn_p4.html   (8806 words)

Arnold Engineering Development Center Receives Federal Quality Award The Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC) is the Defense Departments premier aerospace ground test, evaluation and simulation center, and a renowned research and test facility for the commercial aviation industry. The commercial airline industrys safety record is due, in large part, to Arnolds ballistic range testing facility that pits the structural integrity of airplane canopies and airframes against the impact of bird strikes and other air-borne debris. Other cost savings at Arnold are the result of a 57 percent decline in solid waste generation; vendor ratings systems that have improved supplier conformance to requirements by more than 95 percent; and, alliances with the private sector that have increased revenues to AEDC by more than $21 million dollars in 1996-97. www.opm.gov /pressrel/1998/arnold.htm   (570 words)
