Argonne National Laboratory has conducted an enhanced preliminary assessment of the Fort Wingate Depot Activity at Gallup, New Mexico. The objectives of the enhanced preliminary assessment include: identifying and characterizing all areas, facilities, and operations with respect to known or suspected releases of contaminants to the environment, identifying areas of contamination that may require immediate remedial action, identifying those areas which may require additional investigation, identifying other actions that may be necessary to address and resolve all identified environmental problems, and identifying other environmental concerns that may present impediments to the expeditious transfer of this property. Fort Wingate Depot Activity does not require any emergency remedial actions. There are, however, instances of known or suspected releases of hazardous, or potentially hazardous, materials to the environment at FWDA that require additional investigation or remedial action before the property can be released for unrestricted use.

The closure and realignment of Fort Douglas, a subinstallation of Fort Carson, Colorado, will result in the reassignment of its functions to other installations. (Fort Carson has, and will continue to provide environmental Support to Fort Douglas). Following closure, approximately 51 acres of the approximately 119-acre Fort Douglas installation will be declared as excess property for public disposal (Figure 1-2). The remaining acreage will be retained by the federal government for use as a military Reserve Center. In preparation for excessing approximately 51 acres of Fort Douglas, the tasks of the EI/AA, as delineated in the Technical Plan, will be performed from the perspective of a property transfer assessment. The property transfer assessment will involve environmental studies consisting of (1) an investigative phase to determine the nature and extent of any areas of environmental concern, (2) a risk assessment phase to characterize risk to human health and the environment, and (3) an alternatives assessment phase to develop and evaluate remedial action alternatives. A Decisions Document will be developed in response to the findings of these studies and in response to public comment.

When it became public that Osama bin Laden’s death was announced with the phrase “Geronimo, EKIA!” many Native people, including Geronimo’s descendants, were insulted to discover that the name of a Native patriot was used as a code name for a world-class terrorist. Geronimo descendant Harlyn Geronimo explained, “Obviously to equate Geronimo with Osama bin Laden is an unpardonable slander of Native America and its most famous leader.” The Militarization of Indian Country illuminates the historical context of these negative stereotypes, the long political and economic relationship between the military and Native America, and the environmental and social consequences. This book addresses the impact that the U.S. military has had on Native peoples, lands, and cultures. From the use of Native names to the outright poisoning of Native peoples for testing, the U.S. military’s exploitation of Indian country is unparalleled and ongoing.
