		The complete shutting down of an air force base or the reduction of one to a low activity civilian airport is the first solution to the noise problem and it supplies more adverse affects than any consequences that would serve some justice.
		Williams Air Force Base was closed as an active military air force base and was reduced to a civilian airport in 1993 for, among other reasons, noise from high-performance military aircraft flying over cities such as Chandler and Mesa that were causing a lot of complaints (Williams Gateway Airport).
		Closing down the air force base, limiting the amount of development, which takes place in the intense noise radius, or implementing soundproofing and noise abatement procedures are all feasible possibilities to resolving the problem of noise pollution from the air force bases.

	Official Website of James Landrith: Taking The Gloves Off - Chapter 1: Department of the Air Force
		The Commission noted the Secretary of the Air Force supports the deactivation of the 928th Airlift Wing as a substitute for the Department of Defense recommendation, and to alleviate the expense to the City of Chicago in their compliance with the 1993 recommendation.
		The community argues the Air Force erred in excluding the Minuteman field at F.E. Warren AFB from consideration because the Peacekeeper missiles there are scheduled to complete their retirement in 2003, thus providing an opportunity for a complete base closure.
		Air Force evaluations of UPT bases that led to the decision to place the T-1 Airlift/Tanker training aircraft at Reese AFB first reflected the need to station the aircraft at a base that would allow easy airline access for contractor personnel, rather than a judgment on the military value of the base.

	EPA, Air Force are feuding over cleanup at Williams
		After at least 15 years of cooperation on a toxic-waste cleanup at Williams Gateway Airport, two federal agencies are butting heads about the Air Force's decision to drop plans to remove millions of gallons of fuel in the groundwater at the former Air Force base.
		The airport was shuttered as an Air Force facility in 1993.
		Michael Wolfram, the EPA site manager for the William cleanup, said he was shocked when the Air Force spent $3 million to design and build a remedy for removing the jet fuel but decided in February not to fund the program as the EPA and the military had agreed in 1999.

		Arizona State’s Polytechnic campus used to be Williams Air Force Base, and the place has a hastily remodeled feeling, its 600 acres of real estate hanging loosely around its small student body.
		The lure of the lawn is such a powerful and peculiar force in our national culture that otherwise mild-mannered historians describe it in extravagant terms.
