We visited Mountain Home and reviewed jet fuel inven- tory transactions and records and interviewed Air Force officials responsible for managing the jet fuel. Also, as agreed with your office, we evaluated the Air Force's April 25, 1979, response to you on this matter. In summary, we found no evidence that jet fuel was destroyed at Mountain Home due to overstockage. We did find that both contaminated and uncontaminated jet fuel have been destroyed as part of an authorized firefighting training program. During the 10-month period-ended June 30, 1979, almost 7,000 gallons of jet- fuel were used during such training. Most of the fuel used in the program was uncontaminated (about 4,300 gallons), but it appeared to us that sufficient quantities of contaminated fuel were available to meet the program's needs. We discussed this matter with local Air Force officials and suggested that, in the future, they use more contaminated fuel so that uncontaminated fuel can be saved for flying aircraft. Local officials advised us that they were taking actions to see that this was done. NO EVIDENCE OF JET FUEL DESTROYED DUE TO OVERSTOCKAGE We found no evidence of jet fuel being destroyed due to overstockage at Mountain Home.
