Once the Department of the Army was directed to close and transfer Fort Ord, a Biological Assessment (BA) was conducted since this closure was considered a major federal action by potentially affecting eight species proposed for listing or listed as threatened or endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA). This assessment, conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), was prepared to identify potential loss of populations and habitats of these species, as well as resulting caretaker actions, disposal actions, and six reuse alternatives. The 1993 Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS)[1] , along with the BA, prompted development and implementation of a multispecies Habitat Management Plan (HMP). This HMP was developed in compliance with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife (USWS) final Biological/Conference Opinion[2] for the disposal and reuse of the former Fort Ord land in order to establish management and conservation guidelines for the wildlife, plant species and habitats in the former Fort Ord lands and addressed pre-disposal, disposal, and reuse actions. Shortly after this publication was released, the U.S. Army produced a Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (FSEIS) Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag
