GA indicated that they were accelerating their decommissioning schedule at the request of the GA owners. Further, they stated that the SVB building was on a " fast track" for decommiss-ioning and that approval of the site decommissioning plan would assure that crucial persont el could continue their decommissioning efforts without their employment being interrupted. The associated discussion on this issue established that the SVB facility had been, for the most part, decontaminated and final decommissioning was to begin soon.
