OMAHA, Neb. -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District will be hosting a public informational meeting on November 30, 2023, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. (CST) at the Rand Community Center, in Missouri Valley, Iowa, regarding the environmental remediation of the former Offutt Air Force Base Atlas “D” Missile Site 3, located near Missouri Valley.
The former site was used as a potential launch site for Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles until its deactivation in 1964. The purpose of the environmental investigations is to determine the presence and extent of contamination from a missile wing assigned to Offutt Air Force Base during the Cold War.
This in-person meeting begins with an open house-style poster-board session at 6:00 pm where subject matter experts and project leaders will be available to answer questions and discuss project details with attendees individually. At 6:45 a presentation by USACE representatives will provide meeting attendees information on the history of the site, completed investigation activities, the project’s status, and what to expect as the investigation moves forward. An opportunity for additional questions and comments will follow the presentation.
The public is encouraged to attend and provide feedback about the environmental activities being conducted at the former Offutt Air Force Base, Atlas “D” Missile Site 3. To learn more about this project, please join us at:
