		Areas adjacent to and beneath MCAS El Toro's four runways, rail lines and underground storage tanks, where it is believed large quantities of jet fuel may have seeped up to 50 feet deep into the soil;

		We believe a commercial airport at El Toro continues to make good economic sense and that approving EIR 573 is an important, although not final, step towards making the airport a reality.
		A commercial aviation facility at MCAS El Toro will benefit the county and its residents economically and in terms of long-term economic security, will help to address the serious and well-documented aviation capacity shortfall in the region, and will meet the ever-increasing demand for aviation services on the part of Orange County residents and businesses.
		OCBC therefore urges that the final EIR for this project be approved and that it be forwarded to the Department of Navy with the recommendation that the MCAS El Toro property be conveyed to the County of Orange for purposes of a commercial aviation facility.

	On Friday, June 06, 2003, the Los Angeles Times published a story about the former MCAS El Toro, in which it disclosed ...
		The firm decision by Orange County to dedicate the El Toro property to non-aviation use was the culmination of more than nine (9) years of public discourse and expenditure of millions of dollars of taxpayers moneys for the reuse planning process.
		The City of Los Angeles’s claims that El Toro is needed to address the regional aviation demand has already been solidly debunked within our region.
		Los Angeles county is well represented in SCAG and its many committees and task forces, and this unilateral attempt by the Mayor’s office is clearly a backdoor strategy representing special interests which flies in the face of a democratic and inclusive regional planning process.

	Airport At El Toro MCAS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The unsettled question about the establishment of a commercial airport at the current El Toro MCAS is a doubled edge sword.
		First, it has the potential for future pressure to be applied to John Wayne Airport for a greater number of flights, and secondly the south County effort to exclude an airport shows that the community of Orange County is still divided over what it wants to be when it grows up.
		Opponents to an airport at the MCAS are myopic in their thinking...they still see their lives as separate from the rest of us in Orange County and appear not to be willing to meet the future with an attitude of joint participation in the fabric of Orange County.
