Planned Land Acquisition Criticized
A spokesman for Citizen Alert, a statewide environmental group, said
Tuesday she is upset with plans by the Air Force to withdraw more
public land for a buffer zone around a secret Groom Lake Stealth
aircraft base, 35 miles west of Alamo.
"Nellis Air Force Base has 3 million acres of land, and where do
they want to build their top secret base? Right on the border,"
said the spokeswoman, Grace Bukowski, the group's military project
director.
Gary Ryan, acting director for the Bureau of Land Management's Las
Vegas District, confirmed that the Air Force was interested in
withdrawing 3,900 acres of public land for the buffer zone.
The proposed withdrawal is in addition to 89,300 acres of the Groom
Range that the Air Force obtained in 1984 amid charges by
environmentalists that the land was posted and patrolled by Air
Force security without legal authority.
Bukowski said Citizen Alert has written the Bureau of Land
Management, Gov. Bob Miller and Nevada's congressional delegation
requesting that public hearings be held and that the Air Force
prepare an environmental impact statement with public participation.
"The whole thing is, who are they afraid of? Are they afraid of
American citizens? Are we still living in the Cold War era?"
Bukowski said.
