Office of the Secretary of the Army; Notice of Intent to Prepare 
a Supplemental Environmental Impact Analyses for Disposal and Reuse of 
Fort Ord

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DOD.

ACTION: Notice of Intent to prepare a Supplemental Environmental Impact 
Statement (SEIS) for the disposal and reuse of Fort Ord, California, to 
cover the additional lands to be made available for disposal as a 
result of downsizing the Presidio of Monterey (POM) Annex and changes 
in intended reuse identified in the December 12, 1994, Fort Ord Reuse 
Authority (FORA) Reuse Plan.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The action evaluated in the SEIS is the disposal and reuse of 
Fort Ord, California, in accordance with the legislative requirements 
of the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990, Public Law 
101-510. The SEIS will cover additional lands to be made available for 
disposal as a result of downsizing the POM Annex located on the former 
Fort Ord. Because the opportunity for supplementation has arisen, the 
environmental effects of changes in land uses between Fort Ord Reuse 
Group's (FORG's) draft reuse plan of October 1993 and FORA's approved 
reuse plan of December 1994 that have not been adequately addressed in 
previous National Environmental Policy Act documentation will also be 
considered.

ALTERNATIVES: Alternatives to the POM Annex and a no-POM Annex 
alternative were addressed in the Final EIS. This EIS addressed a range 
of alternative future land uses. These alternatives will be 
supplemented with information on the new smaller POM Annex and final 
Reuse Plan of the Fort Ord Reuse Authority.

PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT: The public will be invited to participate in the 
scoping process, review of the draft SEIS and a public meeting. The 
location and time of the scoping meeting to be scheduled during April 
1995 will be announced in the local news media. The release dates of 
the draft SEIS for public comment and the public meeting will also be 
announced in the local news media, as the dates are established.

POINT OF CONTACT: Mr. Bob Verkade, Scaramento District, U.S. Army Corps 
of Engineers, (916) 557-7423.

    Dated: April 6, 1995.
Lewis D. Walker,
Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (Environment, Safety and 
Occupational Health), OASA (IL&E).
