How will the Navy ensure that the land is adequately cleaned up before or after it is transferred?
The Navy is required to ensure that the base is investigated and cleaned up to a level that is protective of public health and the environment. Areas of the base cannot be transferred or sold for reuse until after the investigation and clean-up of these areas is completed, and a Finding of Suitability for Transfer (FOST) is issued by the U.S. EPA.
