Record of Decision (ROD) for Fort Ord, California, Disposal and
Reuse Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS)
AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD.
ACTION: Notice of availability.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 and the President's Council on environmental Quality, the Army
prepared a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) in June 1993 for
the disposal of certain excess property at Ford Ord, California, and
the establishment of the Presidio of Monterey Annex. The Record of
Decision (ROD) for the FEIS was signed on December 23, 1993. Since the
1993 ROD was issued, the Army has determined that an additional 250
acres of the Annex can be made available for disposal. In addition, the
Army committed in the 1993 ROD to additional environmental analysis to
address the impacts of new land uses not already addressed in the FEIS.
As a result of that commitment, as well as significant changes in other
conditions, the Army prepared a Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement (SEIS). The ROD determines that the SEIS adequately addresses
impacts of the Army's actions related to the continued disposal of
property at the former Fort Ord, California. Based on consideration of
the relevant factors identified in the Final SEIS, along with the
public responses, the Army will proceed with the disposal of the former
Fort Ord property in accordance with the approaches indicated in the
FEIS, the Final SEIS, the 1993 EIS ROD, and the SEIS ROD.
Availability of Review copies: Copies of the ROD can be obtained by
