Implementation of Phase-II Environmental Site Investigations at NASA's Columbia Scientifc Balloon Facility (CSBF), Palestine, Texas

美国国家航空航天局（NASA）戈达德太空飞行中心的沃洛普斯飞行设施（WFF）和国家科学基金会（NSF）正在联合资助第二阶段环境现场调查，该调查将在美国宇航局位于得克萨斯州巴勒斯坦的哥伦比亚科学气球设施（CSBF）进行。 这包括土壤、地下水和材料取样和分析，以确定是否存在污染物释放。 此外，第二阶段环境现场调查将解决德克萨斯州环境质量委员会规定的其他要求。 调查将符合美国总务管理局（GSA）的联邦财产条例，以允许继续进行NSF和NASA之间的CSBF财产转移。

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center's Wallops Flight Facility (WFF) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) are jointly funding the Phase II Environmental Site Investigation that will take place at NASA's Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility (CSBF), Palestine, Texas. This includes soil, groundwater, and material sampling and analysis to characterize the presence or absence of a contaminant release. In addition, the Phase II Environmental Site Investigation will address additional requirements as mandated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. The investigation will be in compliance with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Property Regulations to allow the process to continue for the transfer of the CSBF property between NSF and NASA.
