Former Long Beach Naval Complex: February 4, 2010 - The Department of the Navy completed the second five-year review for environmental cleanup actions under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) at the former Long Beach Naval Complex (LBNC), Long Beach, California in December 2009. The five-year review included Installation Restoration (IR) Sites 1 through 6A and 8 through 14. The protectiveness of the remedies was determined through the analysis of groundwater monitoring data, historical document review, interviews, and recent site inspections. The five-year review found that the remedies for IR Sites 1 through 6A and 8 through 14 are protective of human health and the environment, and exposure pathways that could result in unacceptable risks are being controlled. The next five-year review will be conducted in December 2014.
The full December 2009 five-year review report is available to the public at: Information Repository, Long Beach Public Library, Government Publications Department, 101 Pacific Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90822, (562) 570-7500.

| Naval Support Activity New Orleans (West Bank): BRAC 2005 law states that if the State of Louisiana obtains funding and begins construction of Federal City at Naval Support Activity New Orleans (West Bank) by September 30, 2008, Headquarters Marine Forces Reserve and the Marine Corps Reserve Support Command element of Mobilization Command would relocate to Federal City. Over the past three years, Department of Navy and State of Louisiana have been meeting to develop a strategy to facilitate the development of Federal City as directed by the BRAC legislation. On September 29, 2008, the Department of Navy executed a 75-year lease agreement covering 149 acres on the West Bank with the Algiers Development District (ADD), a local political subdivision of the State of Louisiana, to support the development of Federal City. This agreement requires the ADD to construct a 411,000 square foot facility within a 29-acre secure compound of the leased property which will provide administrative spaces for the Marine Commands relocating to Federal City. The Marine Corps' facility is scheduled for completion in summer of 2011. Back to top

| Naval Station Ingleside (BRAC 2005): On September 30, 2008, after months of discussions with Port of Corpus Christi Authority (PoCCA), the Department of the Navy (DON) disposed the first piece of Naval Station Ingleside property. This 336-acre property, known as the Dredge Material Disposal Area, was deeded to the Department of Defense on June 26, 1989 with a stipulation that if DoD no longer needed the property it would revert to the PoCCA. No other DoD agency expressed a need for the property and the DON determined the property was not being used and could be disposed prior to operational closure of the installation in 2010. The Main Base and the Electromagnetic Reduction Facility (EMR) are the two properties remaining to be disposed. Back to top

Former NAS Moffett Field: On Wednesday, July 30, 2008, the U.S. Department of the Navy (DON) released the Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (EE/CA) for Site 29, also known as Hangar 1 at Former Naval Air Station (NAS) Moffett Field, California. The Hangar 1 siding is contaminated with PCBs which are the regulatory driver for this removal action. Asbestos and lead are also present in interior and exterior Hangar 1 building materials. The EE/CA identified and evaluated a total of 13 removal action alternatives. The Navy's preferred alternative, as presented in the EE/CA, is Alternative 10 – Remove Siding and Coat Exposed Surfaces. This will involve demolition of interior rooms within the hangar, removal of the corrugated metal siding and roof material from the hangar, and application of a protective coating on the remaining steel frame.
The Navy is accepting comments during a 45-day comment period starting July 30, 2008 and ending on September 13, 2008. All comments must be postmarked by September 13, 2008. For more information about Hangar 1 and the environmental restoration program at Moffett Field, please contact Mr. Darren Newton, the Navy’s BRAC Environmental Coordinator, at 619-532-0963 or darren.newton@navy.mil.

| MCB Quantico: On June 24, 2008, Department of the Navy signed a NEPA Record of Decision for the Development of the Westside of Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia. The BRAC realignment actions directed at MCB Quantico are the collocation of Military Department Investigation Agencies Headquarters with the Counterintelligence Field Activity, and the Defense Security Service at MCB Quantico. These realignment actions will add approximately 3,000 personnel to work at MCB Quantico by 2011. The development would entail construction of new facilities in two undeveloped areas west of I-95. This construction will accommodate the collocation of Military Department Investigation Agencies with the Department of Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency at MCB Quantico. It will also provide space for adequate facilities to support Marine Corps units currently at MCB Quantico, as well as potentially other federal and Marine Corps initiatives that may identify MCB Quantico as a site for relocation.

| Oak Knoll Auction Press Release: Auction of former Oak Knoll Naval Hospital closes 167 acres in Oakland Hills sells for $100.5 million at auction Oakland, Calif. The U.S. Department of the Navy has closed the online auction on the 167-acre property of the former Oak Knoll Naval Hospital (“Oak Knoll”) for $100,500,000.00. The name of the wining bidder will not be disclosed until the official acceptance of the bid. The winning bid was $88.5 million above the minimum opening bid of $12 million. The auction ran from 22 August 2005 through 4 November 2005, a total of 75 days, because of heavy competitive bidding by several registered bidders. The online auction, which was run by the General Services Administration, provided a unique opportunity to acquire what is probably one of the most desirable land sites in the San Francisco/Oakland Bay area. It was an extremely smooth process for the Navy and an intense bidding contest for the registered bidders. According to Ms. Kimberly Kesler, Director of the Navy’s BRAC Program Management Office, “The Navy is very pleased with the auction results. As with the sales of the El Toro and San Pedro properties earlier in the year, this was a success for the Navy, the local community and, of course, the taxpayers. We look forward to watching Oak Knoll redevelop into a new, exciting community for Oakland.” Back to top

| Ponte Vista Sale Press Release: Auction of former U.S. NAVY SELLS PONTE VISTA FOR $88 MILLION VIA ONLINE AUCTION LOS ANGELES, Calif. – The U.S. Department of the Navy has closed the online auction on the 41.95-acre portion of the former San Pedro Navy Housing, recently branded Ponte Vista. The winning bid was $63 million above the minimum opening bid of $25 million. The remaining 19.58-acre portion of Ponte Vista will be transferred to two designated Homeless Service Providers (“HSPs”), under a Homeless Assistance Conveyance. This transfer is pursuant to the Base Closure Community Redevelopment and Homeless Assistance Act of 1994, and will happen unless the winning bidder and the HSPs are able to agree upon alternative arrangements prior to the close of escrow. In such case the Navy would convey the remaining portion to the winning bidder subject to the same environmental restrictions, notifications and restrictions contained in the Invitation for Bid (IFB). The escrow period is anticipated to end in approximately 60 days after the winning bidder’s receipt of the Notification of Acceptance for the winning bid from the Navy. Colliers Seeley International handled the marketing and auction of Ponte Vista on behalf of the Navy. The auction, which ran from December 1, 2004 through March 7, 2005, was originally anticipated to close in early January. However, as laid out in the IFB, it continued for an additional 60 days due to heavy competitive bidding by two final registered bidders. In 1997, the Navy deemed Ponte Vista to be surplus to the needs of federal government. In June 2004, the Navy decided that the property would be transferred via Public Sale and Homeless Assistance Conveyance methods. Ponte Vista is located in the community of San Pedro, in the city of Los Angeles, Calif., at the base of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, between Redondo Beach and Long Beach. The real property is presently zoned R-1, single family residential, and the city of Los Angeles has indicated that Ponte Vista may continue to be utilized for residential housing. The existing residential housing on Ponte Vista, which contains lead-based paint and asbestos, will be safely demolished. This deed condition would also apply to the existing residential housing on the 19.58-acre portion that is designated for the HSPs if the winning bidder acquires it. The winning bidder will redevelop Ponte Vista according to city of Los Angeles’ zoning regulations. The online auction provided a unique opportunity for a residential homebuilder to acquire what is probably one of the most desirable in-fill residential land sites in Southern California. It was an extremely smooth process for the Navy and an intense bidding contest for the registered bidders. According to Ms. Kimberly Kesler, Director of the Navy’s BRAC Program Management Office West, “The Navy is very pleased with the results of the auction. As with the recent sale of the former MCAS El Toro property, this was a win-win for the Navy, the local citizens and the taxpayers. We look forward to watching the redevelopment of Ponte Vista into a new, vibrant community.” Back to top

NS Roosevelt Roads: February 8, 2008 was truly a red letter day for PMO! First, over 2900 acres of Conservation Property at the former Naval Station Roosevelt Roads was conveyed to the Puerto Rico Department of Natural and Environmental Resources. This property was previously assigned via a Public Benefit Conveyance to the US Department of the Interior for ultimate conveyance to the Commonwealth under the National Park Service's Federal Lands to Parks program. The property will be managed by The Conservation Trust for Puerto Rico. The property will be used for environmental education and nature interpretation, hiking and nature trails, wildlife observation, snorkeling and scuba diving, and mountain bicycle trails. The estimated value of the property is $14.9 million.
In addition, the 1,646 acre Airport Parcel (the former Navy airfield) was transferred to the Puerto Rico Port Authority on February 8, 2008. This parcel includes some environmental contamination sites. The Governor of Puerto Rico signed a Covenant Deferral Request (CDR) for the airfield parcel, which allows it to be transferred to the Port Authority, so that reuse can begin, while the cleanup continues. The Navy will remain responsible for the cleanup until it is completed. A contract to remove contaminated soil at the Airport Parcel sites has been awarded to Right Way Environmental Contractors from Naranjito, Puerto Rico.Back to top

| NTC Orlando: On Thursday, February 7th, 177 acres at the former NTC Orlando Golf Course was conveyed to the successful bidder. The Navy received a check in the amount of $2.3 million from the public sale for this property. This closing and check culminates seven months of hard work by the Navy team, and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). Since this was an early transfer, where the environmental covenant is deferred, FDEP was very instrumental in assisting with the necessary deed language for the early transfer and coordinating with the Governor of Florida’s office.
