4.5 Transfer CRUP
Land use restrictions are required on some former Fort Ord property to ensure protection of human health
and the environment. These land use restrictions are based on environmental evaluations of the property
and were agreed upon by the property stakeholders. The land use restrictions are included in the deed,
which is provided to the property recipient at the time of property transfer. As part of the five-year
review deeds associated with transferred property were reviewed and any deed restrictions were
identified. Table 3 includes a list of all transferred Fort Ord property listed by USACE parcel number,
USACE deed tracking number, a reference to the Finding of Suitability to Transfer (FOST) or Finding of
Suitability for Early Transfer document that included the particular parcel (if applicable), and any
applicable deed notices that were determined to be necessary. Table 5 lists the deed restrictions by site.
Land use restrictions that may be applicable to transferred former Fort Ord property include prohibitions
on the installation of groundwater wells, restrictions on residential use, restrictions on soil excavation and
disturbance and other parcel –specific reuse restrictions.
4.6 Incidental Military Munitions
Records documenting the discovery of incidental military munitions were reviewed to determine if any of
the discoveries had occurred on transferred property. The incident reports are compiled by the Fort Ord
BRAC Office as part of the MRS Security Program in response to private citizens, contractors and BLM
employees who made the discovery. The reports contain information on the item found including a
description and location, as well as the date of the discovery, who made the discovery, the date and time
of the response, status of the item (e.g., MEC, munitions debris, etc.), results of a inspection of the
surround area, and the final disposition of the item. Historical MEC incident data is analyzed annually in
accordance with the Fort Ord MRS Security Program to determine if the location, frequency, or types of
incidents indicate a need for changes in security procedures. If a change is determined appropriate, a
notice is provided to regulatory agencies to include the recommended change.
A total of sixteen discoveries of incidental military munitions items were reported on transferred property
over the last five years. A summary of all incidental items found is provided in Table 6. The majority of
the incident reports (10 of the 16) recorded discoveries that were made on property transferred to the
BLM (Parcels F1.1.1, F1.1.3, and F1.2). Nine of the 10 discoveries on BLM land were munitions debris
and included practice and pyrotechnic items. The other discovery on BLM land included unfired small
arms ammunition found in two ammunition storage containers.
Four of the sixteen discoveries occurred in areas that were evaluated under the former Fort Ord MR RI/FS
program and were determined to be Track 0 (Parcels E2b.1.1.1, E4.3.1.1, L20.13.5, and L23.3.2.1). The
Track 0 process addresses single or grouped areas of land at the former Fort Ord that have no history of
