    Corps gauging public knowledge about Salina base

    SALINA, Kan. (AP) The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been trying to gauge public understanding in Salina about a site at the former Schilling Air Force base that may be contaminated from chemical warfare training decades ago.

    Tim Rogers, executive director of the Salina Airport Authority, where the site is located, said the investigation is separate from negotiations over groundwater contamination at the former base, which closed in the 1960s.

    A Corps of Engineers contractor surveyed area officials recently to determine their interest in and knowledge of the site and its potential contamination from two types of chemicals used during training exercises more than 50 years ago.

    The Corps of Engineers office in Kansas City says survey results would be used to develop appropriate public meetings about the site for the community.
