69these things, we must entertain and pass a
motion to close Miramar.
LTC RICHARDELLA: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: We mat
entertain and pass a motion to redirect the
opening of Tustin, correct?
LTC RICHARDELLA: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: What are
the other motions that we have to do? Would
that do it?
LTC RICHARDELLA: That's it.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: Those two
motions would keep our options open in this
whole thing; is that correct, Rich?
LTC RICHARDELLA: Yes, sir, it
is.
COMMISSIONER STUART: Would it
be helpful to you, sir?
CHAIRMAN COURTER: Yes. I
just want to make sure that -- Comissioner
Byron is with us now, and we wanted to have
her expertise in any discussion on these,
because she does have a Lot with regard to
these Naval air stations. What I suggest we
do is to move on to the next category and then
return to this. As soon as we finish the next
category, we can return to this and return to
the first group of bases. But let's if we can
MR. YELLIN: Mr. Chairman, we
have one more discussion of an airfield out in
the West Coast, plus training, we have --
CHAIRMAN COURTER: What chart
is this, 17?
MR. YELLIN: This is 17. This
is for consideration the closure of Naval
outlying field Imperial Beach Ream Field for a
potential closure. The camnxity has
approached us with a petition to have this
included for consideration as a closure, and
we have provided some information here about
it.
We have gone back in and
examined the information provided by the Navy
in their certified data calls, and it does
confirm that the mission of this facility to
do helicopter training primarily for
helicopters that are located at North Island
in the San Diego area, that they have very
heavy usage of this field and that it's a very
critical element of the training for those
helicopters based there and that it's a very
substantial usage, although the csamunity
presented to us that the closure of it would
be very helpful to the community for reuse by
the commnity.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: What would
be the practical effects of that closure?
MR. JACKSON: It would be
fairly devastating on training, sir. North
Island itself is almost ful ly encroached.
Last year, they did in the neighborhood of
1,600 operations per day, of which more than
1,000 have to be done at Imperial Beach.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: And there' s
no easy f ix to that:?
MR. JACKSON: No, sir.
There's no easy fix. Closing it would save
nothing. It would probably incur significantcost to find or build another Location.
COMMISSIONER BYRON: Mr.
Chairman, let nm speak on that issue of
Imperial Beach, because I think under our
eight criteria, the first four are military
value. I would suggest that this field scores
very, very high on military value, and to look
at closing that, with the military value I
think would be quite difficult.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: I get a
sense of where we're going with regard to
Imperial Beach, and in order to dispose of the
issue one way or another, let me ask whether
there's any motion to include Imperial Beach
on our List of bases to review. Is there any
motion on Imperial Beach?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN COURTER: I hear no
motions on Imperial Beach. What we may want
to do then is quickly go back to the East
Coast.
LTC RICHARDELLA: Back to
slide 11?
CHAIRMAN COURTER: Yes. Would
you summarize, because we have tabled it for
about half an hour, 45 minutes, would you just
spend 3 minutes summarizing the proposal very
quickly, and then we'LL entertain motions and
any further discussion.
LTC RICHARDELLA: Mark, we
need 10 on the left. and 11 on the right,
please.
With respect to the East Coast
DOD recommendation, it involves the closure of
NAS Cecil Field and the movement of its assets
to Marine Corps Station Cherry Point, North
Carolina, Naval Air Station Oceana, and Marine
Corps Station Beaufort, South Carolina. The
alternatives we have discussed and researched
involve the closure of either Oceana or
Beaufort or both.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: one
question I have, what would be the capacity if
you closed both in lieu of Cecil?
LTC RICHAROELLA: The capacity
requirement, si r?
CHAIRMAN COURTER: Yes,
capacity requi recent.
LTC RICIARDELLA: As far as
apron space is concerned, it be close to a
half a million square yards of extra apron
space required, which, without knowing what
the cost is, I would have to guess would be
prohibitive.
GEM JOHNSON: Is the apron
space required if we use the Navy proposal and
send all the aircraft to Cherry Point?
LTC RICHAROELLA: I didn't
hear the first part of the question, General.
GEM JOHNSON: What's the apon
space required !if we move all the aircraft
that are proposed by the Navy to Cherry Point
and also the taxi waiver requirements?
LTC RICHAROELLA: Beaufort is
currently using about 125,000 -- I'm sorry,
14.3,000 square yards of apron space. Rechucing
that rasher, we're looking at about 360,000
square yards.
MR. JACKSON: No, my question
