The Fort Ord Superfund Site's Early Transfers (aka: Finding of Suitability to Transfer, FOST), contain
Deed Restrictions in the Covenants.
The parcel numbers with their descriptions may be found within the Covenants given below. The
reuse plans for the Fort Ord Superfund Site, are contained within these documents. The Fort Ord
CAG highly recommends that the present and future stakeholders in and around Fort Ord or Former
Fort Ord, examine these publications carefully to project present and future land values. Another
issue that has arisen recently is the availability of water.

the health and safety of present and future property owners and users.
A complete listing of Deed Restrictions for the State of California are available at the Department of
Toxic Substances and Control (DTSC) (aka: Cal EPA). Present and future land holders on or around
Marina, Seaside, Fort Ord, and Former Fort Ord are encouraged to obtain the Deed Restrictions for
their property.
The Covenants given below contain the majority of the land and the largest developments on Fort Ord.
Evidently, the Fort Ord Risk Assessment Protocol was applied to the transfer of Ordinance and
Explosive (OE) Sites in the Track 0 "No Further Action" Plan. The Fort Ord Risk Assessment
Protocol is dated October 2002. UXO Sites in Track 0 began transferring in August of 1994. If this is
the case, what method was used to assess the risk to human health and the environment from
August of 1994 to October of 2002? This situation raises questions about how the Fort Ord Risk
Assessment Protocol is being used on the OE sites in the Track 1 and 2 "Plug in Process," "No
Further Action" Proposals. It appears that any future cleanup of Fort Ord will now be privatized, or
the methodology of "Cleanup by Development" and "Don't look Don't find" will continue!
