Theother alternative is to do nothing and allowthe contaminants to remain in the soilthere, according to the report.This means the site would have to bereexamined every five years.The public can make written commentson the remediation plan for thesite until August 1. A public meeting onthe plan has been scheduled for July 31at 6p.m. at the Frank Knox Building inRoom 100.The written comments can be mailedto base public affairs office, the U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency, RegionIII in Philadelphia, Pa. or to the <strong>Maryland</strong>Department of the Environment inBaltimore.The report is available for publicviewing at either the LexingtonPark branch of the county public libraryor the library on base.guyleonard@countytimes.netSERVING ST.
