Summary

The Fort Ord Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) is presently (April 2014) an administrative draft document that addresses the conservation and enhancement of habitat for several special status plants and animals on the former Fort Ord. The plan identifies designated development areas, habitat management areas, and borderlands. Specific activities within these designated areas are also outlined.[1]

Background

The HCP plan covers approximately 27,838 acres of former Fort Ord.[2] HCP stemmed from the Habitat Management Plan (HMP), which was first published as part of the Basin Reuse Plan (BRP) in 1994. HMP is an agreement between the Army and the US Fish and Wildlife Service. If approved, HCP would be a similar agreement between the Army and the state agency, the California Department Fish and Wildlife.
