Fort Ord Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP)
Contents
Summary
The Fort Ord Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) addresses the conservation and enhancement of habitat for several special status plants and animals. 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, which was first published as part of the Basin Reuse Plan(BRP) in 1994. Whereas the HMP is an agreement between the Army and the US Fish and Wildlife Service, HCP, if approved, would be a similar agreement between the Army and the state agency, the California Fish and Wildlife Services.
Endangered Species Act (ESA)
