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
