\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\nLast night I chatted briefly with Moody’s\r\nCol. Ford, before he spoke at the\r\nLake Park Chamber Annual Awards Dinner.\r\nHe said he had been able to get on the site of the proposed Moody Family\r\nHousing about a year ago.\r\nI mentioned the\r\n\r\nNelson Hill Wells<\/a>\r\nand he said they had spent a lot of time already investigating\r\nwater issues, and now the Air Force has received the environmental assessment.\r\nPerhaps it includes the missing piece this time,\r\nand maybe there’s a way for the public and local professors\r\nto provide input.\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\n\r\nColonel Edward Ford<\/a> is commander of the 23d Mission Support Group at\r\nMoody AFB, Ga. He leads a group of more than 1,450 military and\r\ncivilian members providing support and services to a population of\r\n28,000 active duty, retired military and family members. His group\r\nmaintains an installation with more than 830 buildings and more than\r\n17,500 acres, including an adjacent bombing or strafing range. He is\r\nresponsible for ensuring the readiness of support forces to mobilize\r\nand deploy to build, secure, and sustain air base operations at\r\naustere bare base locations anywhere in the world.\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\n<\/a>\r\nAccording to Col. Ford,\r\nGeneral Green at Langley received the environmental assessment a day or so ago.\r\nCol. Ford clarified that Gen. Green is next up the chain of command\r\nin ACC.\r\n

\r\n\r\n\r\nBrig. Gen. Timothy S. Green<\/a> is the Director of Installations\r\nand Mission Support, Headquarters Air Combat Command, Joint Base\r\nLangley-Eustis, Va. He leads ACC’s base and expeditionary combat support\r\nactivities for civil engineering, security forces and contracting\r\npersonnel.

I’m looking forward to seeing this environmental assessment.\r\nPresumably it’s different from the\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\ndraft of last summer<\/a>.\r\nThis time it should include the\r\n\r\ngeotechnical analysis<\/a> that the public has not yet seen.\r\nAnd one hopes the Air Force has built into their process\r\na way for the public and local experts to review and comment.\r\nWe don’t want here what happened\r\nin Florida last fall<\/a>,\r\nwith buildings sinking into sinkholes.\r\n
