Barrels of TCE uncovered at Kelley AFB (TX)
WOAI TV in San Antonio, TX reports:
News 4 WOAI has learned that toxic waste is among the sludge contained in barrels uncovered recently at the former Kelly Air Force Base.
An unknown number of 55-gallon drums are buried under the 15th tee of the old Kelly golf course. Air Force officials confirm some of the drums contain trichloroethylene, or TCE, which can cause lung and liver disease and death.
This month, the Air Force will recommend a plan to clean up the barrels.
