 EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT AND GENERAL MANAGER

SOME KEY ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES ADDRESSED IN ENVIRONMENTAL 

 REPORTS (1) 



At this time, I wish to introduce you to some of the 

 specifics of the two environmental reports on Coyote Spring 

 Valley and Garfield Flats. But before I do that, I think 

 that I should advise you of Aerojet 's basic goals. First, 

 we realized once we set forth in this project, that all 

 perceived environmental issues must be properly mitigated 

 and these mitigation measures be designed to create and 

 maintain conditions under which man and nature can exist in 

 productive harmony. Second, we desired to establish a 

 mechanism that would ensure these mitigation measures would 

 be maintained for future generations of Americans. These 

 Environmental Reports identify the issues suggested by 

 federal and state agencies and environmental groups and the 

 measures are identified in the stipulations of the proposed 

 exchange agreement which set forth the mechanism to ensure 

 future maintenance of these mitigation measures. 



Let me first describe to you the Garfield Flat Environmental 

 Report and several of the specific issues and mitigation 

 measures addressed. 



GRAZING 



Presently, a Rancher (the Sweetwater Ranch) grazes his 

 cattle on the area for three months a year. This grazing 

 operation also utilizes several water sources and water 

 distribution facilities for the site. We realized the socio 

 and economic impact of our receiving ownership of this 

 property and the rancher's if access was denied. Therefore,
