Report NASA’s highlights NASA Industrial Facility Closure in Downey, California
• Major decision drivers will be the congressional direction for closing and transitioning the Space Shuttle Program, the disposition of tooling, transitioning or retaining critical capabilities, and possibly personnel issues.
• The Space Shuttle Program needs to perform a strategic assessment of the total program’s assets, skills, and capabilities. Identify phase-out candidates and streamline operations to gain efficiencies.
• The challenges in the closeout effort include environmental remediation, historical preservation, personnel retention, and property disposition.
• Significant costs were for personnel relocation, moving equipment, and environmental remediation.
• A significant challenge will be to determine the extent to which NASA’s activities contributed to the current environmental condition of each site and the extent to which NASA is responsible for remediation of the site.
• The closeout team should include representatives of external organizations such as historical, environmental, and political (local, state, and federal) organizations, the General Services Administration, the Defense Contract Audit Agency, etc., and internal contractors.
• Communicate internally and externally with honesty and clarity. Prevent rumors with an effective communication process. A public relations firm may provide expertise in strategic communication to garner goodwill with the surrounding community. http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d05230.pdf1997 In 1988, NASA headquarters began efforts to identify contaminated sites at most of its facilities.6 However, a comprehensive hazardous site inventory database was not completed until 1993.
