BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - North Dakota's congressional delegation
says public hearings have been slated this week to discuss the
environmental impact of positioning unmanned aerial vehicles at the
Grand Forks Air Force Base.
Sens. Byron Dorgan and Kent Conrad and Rep. Earl Pomeroy say
it's an important step toward basing the drones at Grand Forks.
The Air Force's draft environmental impact statement covers
infrastructure improvements at the Grand Forks base, and
modifications to airspace to accommodate the drones.
The hearings will be held on Monday in Grand Forks; Tuesday in
Devils Lake; Wednesday in Carrington; and Thursday in Langdon.
