| Fort Mojave Reservation | 10163.00 | 10 Miles North Of Needles | Documentation of DOD use of this site is neither specific or complete. Fort Mojave was established by the U.S. Army in 1857. The Fort and surrounding lands were transferred to the Fort Mojave Indian Tribe in 1890 through the Department of the Interior, and became the Fort Mojave Indian Reservation. The Fort Mojave Reservation west of the Colorado River, which constitutes this site, consists of 6,308 acres in California and 3,855 acres in Nevada. The site was used by the DOD during the 20th century, but no DOD acquisition records exist for this site so it is not known under what agreement the site was used and how much land the military actually used. This property is owned by the U.S. Government and held in trust by the Bureau of Indian Affairs for the Fort Mojave Tribe. Fort Mojave lands east of the Colorado River are addressed under Mohave Maneuver Area C (J09AZO49200). Recent research and visual evidence indicate that this site was used for maneuvers and river crossing training exercises by the Army during World War II, and possibly by the Army and other DOD forces in 1964 for Operation Desert Strike maneuvers. Live fire may have been used in the desert during WW II training. However, according to records, live fire was not to be used during Operation Desert Strike, only simulated explosions and flares or smoke. No military improvements are known to have been constructed at this site during WW II or during Operation Desert Strike. Information on when the DOD discontinued use of this site is not available. This site is still under the control of the Fort Mojave Indian Reservation. |

| Harpers Dry Lake Test Annex | 5120.00 | 17 Miles Nw Of Barstow | The United States Air Force (USAF) acquired 3,840 acres of public domain land from the Department of the Interior by Special Land Use Permit on 19 August 1968 and an additional 1,280 acres by lease from private owners on 15 September 1968 at Harper Dry Lake, for a total of 5,120 acres. From 1 September 1968 to 31 December 1970, the Air Force utilized the dry lake as a test site and emergency landing field in support of the C-5A and C-141 USAF Aircraft Test Programs operating out of the USAF Flight Test Center at Edwards Air Force Base, California. No improvements were known to have been constructed on the site by the DOD. On 31 December 1970, the Special Land Use Permit on the 3,840 acres of public lands lapsed and the property was returned to the DOI, while the leases on the remaining 1,280 acres of the site were terminated before 30 June 1971 and returned to private ownership. The Bureau of Land Management is currently constructing a wildlife observation trail and park at Harper Dry Lake on the public land parcel, while the private property remains undeveloped. |

| Owlshead Mountain Aerial Gunnery Range | 286720.00 | 30 Miles N Of Barstow | The Department of Defense (DOD) is not known to have acquired the site known as Owlshead Mountains Air-to-Air Gunnery Range. This site has not been specifically defined, but includes an area of approximately 286,720 acres as indicated by a Danger Zone on Sectional Aeronautical Chart "Los Angeles (R-2),11 dated March 1, 1945. No records were available to indicate that the DOD ever acquired this area. The subject area was proposed as an air-to-air gunnery range in 1944, but no information was available to indicate that it was ever used as such. A memorandum dated 30 September 1944, was identified that requested the preparation of a gross appraisal for an area associated with an Owlshead Mt. Air-to-Air Gunnery Range as defined by the Headquarters Fourth Air Force. Sectional Aeronautical Charts indicate that an area including the Owlshead Mountains was designated a Danger Area from 1 March 1945 to 30 August 1945. However, no other information was identified to indicate that the military used this site in this configuration or under this name. |

| Condor Field #4 | 800.00 | 5 Miles E Twentynine Palms | On April 17, 1942, the Department of Interior (DOI) withdrew 7,920 acres on behalf of the Defense Plant Corporation (DPC). In 1944, the DPC issued a permit to the Navy to assume custody of the 480-acre parcel located east of Twentynine Palms. At an unknown time, the Navy acquired use of an additional 320 acres of DOI land through indeterminate means. Therefore, the Navy acquired a total of 800 acres at this location. Prior to the Navy's acquisition and during DPC's control of the site, the Army sponsored a glider pilot and fighter pilot training school at the site, known as Condor Field. The school was operated by Twentynine Palms Air Academy, a contractor to the DPC. It consisted of a main field and three auxiliary fields, one of which was Condor Field No. 4 used by the Army as an emergency landing strip. When the Army no longer had a need to train pilots, the Navy requested custody of Condor Field No. 4. The Navy established the Twentynine Palms Auxiliary Air Station. Gunnery and bombing ranges were the main mission of this naval establishment. The Navy established a strafing, dive, napalm, skip target (Target #70) at Condor Field No. 4. The only known military improvements constructed on the site were some targets and related small structures. |

| Highland Ave. Auxiliary Field | 143.07 | 5 Miles W Of San Bernardino | The Highland Ave. Auxiliary Field was part of the Cal-Aero Academy (Plancor 406), a Defense Plant Corporation pilot training school. The Defense Plant Corporation acquired the 143.07 acre site by Complaint of Condemnation and Order for Immediate Possession dated October 1, 1943. The airfield consisted of two graded and paved landing strips and one staging house with privy. The airfield was quitclaimed to the County of San Bernardino on August 15, 1947. |

| Chino Prisoner Of War Camp - Army | 10.00 | Chino | Acquisition information for this site is neither specific or complete. The site was used sporadically by the military for periods of time during WWII. Shortly after the commencement of WWII, units of the New York National Guard acquired use of the site through indeterminate means. In October 1944, the Army again acquired use, through unknown means, of a portion of the approximately 30-acre property. The exact acreage the Army acquired is unknown. At the beginning of WWII, a quartermaster unit belonging to the New York National Guard was located on the facility. Once the National Guard departed, the camp was used for quartering farm laborers. In 1944, the Army established a German prisonerof-war camp on site. The POW Camp reported through Camp Cooke and housed as many as 500 prisoners. Most improvements including barracks, mess hall, and power plant were already present when the army arrived. In April 1945, the camp was a sub-depot to the Pomona Ordnance Depot. The size of the camp and the number of military improvements used by the Army during this period of time is unknown. A May 1945 newspaper article indicates that ordnance, including gas bombs, hand grenades, and 30-caliber shells, was stored somewhere on site. No other information is available regarding use of the camp for purposes other than as a POW Camp. |

| Condor Field #3 | 1600.00 | Coyote Dry Lake | On April 17, 1942, the Department of Interior (DOI) withdrew 7,920 acres on behalf of the Defense Plant Corporation (DPC). In 1944, the DPC issued a permit to the Navy to assume custody of the 800-acre parcel located on Coyote Dry Lake which was part of the original withdrawal. In addition to this 800-acre portion, the Navy acquired use of an additional 640 acres from DOI through an unknown means and at an unknown time. Therefore, the Navy acquired a total of 1440 acres on Coyote Dry Lake. Prior to the Navy's acquisition and during DPC's control of the site, the Army sponsored a glider pilot and fighter pilot training school at the site, known as Condor Field. The school was operated by Twentynine Palms Air Academy, a contractor to the DPC. It consisted of a main field and three auxiliary fields, one of which was Condor Field No. 3 located on Coyote Dry Lake. When the Army no longer had a need to train pilots, the Navy requested custody of the Condor Field No. 3 site. The Navy established the Twentynine Palms Auxiliary Air Station. Gunnery and bombing ranges were the main mission of this naval establishment. The Navy established a rocket firing target at Condor Field No. 3. The only known military improvements constructed on the site were a target and water well. |
| Operational Site Norton | 8.24 | Creastline | The Air Force acquired an area of 8.247 acres in Section 27, Township 2 North, Range 4 West, on 19 November 1943, via special use permit from the Department of Agriculture, U.S. Forest Service. A Real Estate Map for the San Bernardino Army Air Field, 15 November 1946, indicates that a total of 40 acres in the same location were under permit with the Department of Agriculture. Total acquisition was 40 acres. |
| Daggett Army Airfield | 1099.00 | Daggett | Just prior to WWII, the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) selected the site as an important civil airfield and negotiated a standard agreement (AP-4) with the county of San Bernardino to maintain the airfield. Shortly thereafter, the site was chosen by the War Department as a Modification Center. On 4 May 1942, the government entered into an agreement with the County to lease the 1,099-acre site (renewable annually but not beyond 30 June 1967). On or about 29 May 1942, the government and Douglas Aircraft Company, Inc. entered into a cost-plus-fixed-fee ($1.00) contract, whereby Douglas agreed to do all things necessary and incident to the procurement, furnishing, delivery, and installation of equipment, machinery, machine tools, materials, supplies and facilities for proper operation of a Modification Center, which lasted until the middle of 1994, when Army Air Forces deactivated the project. There was no evidence of the lease ever having been executed, so it is believed that Douglas occupied and used the premises without any written agreement. On 12 November, 1942 the Secretary of War and Standard Oil Co. entered into an agreement, whereby Standard Oil agreed to install, operate, and maintain lubricating oil storage and distribution facilities at the site. In addition, on 20 December 1943, the CAA was granted a permit to use and occupy two parcels of land totaling 11.2 acres at the Modification Center for a radio range and communication building site. The original permit period ended 30 June 1944; however, the lease contained a provision for annual renewal, at the option of the government, through 30 June 1967. The site was classified as surplus on 15 November 1945. The War Assets Administration assumed custody and accountability for the site on 27 June 1946, with the installation immediately transferred to the Department of Navy. The County obtained control of the facility from the military in 1958. |

| Victorville Pbr Z | 4212.00 | Galway Dry Lake | The Department of Defense (DOD) acquired 4,212 acres of land in the Mojave Desert per Directive RE-D 1554, 2 September 1942, for the establishment of Victorville Precision Bombing Range Z. Of the 4,212 acres acquired, 1,449 acres were leased from the Southern Pacific Land Company under Lease No.W04-193-eng-4536. The remaining 2,763 acres were acquired by "implied transfer" from the Department of the Interior. Real estate records describe the transfer as "implied", as neither a permit nor Public Land Order was obtained by DOD for use of the public lands. Victorville Precision Bombing Range Z was used for Demolition Bombing Target practice by Army Air Corps pilots and bombardiers in training during World War II at Victorville Army Air Field. DOD is not known to have constructed any facilities at the site and no improvements were made to the site other than oiled rings to mark the targets. |

| Chemehuevi Indian Reservation | 30653.00 | Havasu Lake | Documentation of DOD use of this site is neither specific or complete. There is no documentation that the Reservation property was ever acquired or leased by the DOD. The Chemehuevi Indian Reservation currently consists of 30,653 acres of land (based on the legal property description). The property is owned by the U.S. Government and held in trust by the Bureau of Indian Affairs for the Chemehuevi Indian Tribe. The Reservation was established on 2 February 1907 and consisted of approximately 36,000 acres at that time. Some of the river bottom property was sold in 1940 and is currently under water (Lake Havasu). Recent research and visual evidence indicate that this site was used for DOD training and armored vehicle maneuvers. However, to what extent the Reservation property was used by DOD is not well documented. DOD use probably occurred during World War II by the Army, and possibly in 1964 for Operation Desert Strike maneuvers. Live fire was not disallowed during WW II maneuvers. According to military records, live fire was not to be used during operation Desert Strike, only simulated explosions and flares or smoke. No military improvements are known to have been constructed at this site. |

| Clark's Pass | 640.00 | Joshua Tree National Park | The Department of Defense (DOD) is not known to have acquired nor have had any controlling interest in this unnamed site at Clarks Pass. Real estate information was nonspecific and incomplete. The site is estimated to cover 500 acres within Joshua Tree National Park. The site was used for target bomb practice and over 20,000 pounds of munitions artifacts remain on the site. Improvements to the site include oiled concentric rings and a cleared area. No evidence was found to determine which branch of the military, the Navy or Army Air Forces, both active in the adjacent area during the period 1942-1946, used the site. |

| Marine Corps Logistics Base, Barstow | 595.12 | Nebo | The Marine Corps Logistics Base near Barstow was established in 28 December 1942, when the United States Navy turned it over to the Marine Corps as a storage site for supplies and equipment needed for the Fleet Marine Forces in the Pacific theater during World War II. It was known as the Marine Corps Depot of Supplies. The Main Base was named after the Nebo railroad siding formerly located on the site. By the end of World War II it had outgrown its facilities and in October 1946 a holding and reconsignment point belonging to the Army was annexed; the Yermo Annex. On 1 November 1978 the base was redesignated to its present name. The mission of the site is to procure, maintain, repair and rebuild, store, and distribute supplies and equipment, as assigned; to conduct schools and training as may be directed by the Commandant of the Marine Corps or the Commanding General, Marine Corps Logistics Base, Albany, Georgia. The site is the largest DOD railhead with two major rail lines, three major interstate highways, two major sea ports 150 miles away, and for emergency shipments access to the 6000 feet runway at the Daggett Airport, 14 miles away. Because the site possesses both an excellent outdoor storage climate and the largest indoor storage capacity in the Marine Corps, the site is a major storage area for Strategic Reserve. Improvements include administrative buildings, warehouses and rail lines, and repair and testing facilities. |

| Camp Ibis (cama) | 10215.50 | Needles | On 4 April 1945 however, the Corps of Engineers assumed custody of these and other public lands adjacent to the site, pending completion of ordnance clearance and dedudding activities. In a letter from the Army Corps of Engineers to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), dated 3 May 1951, the Corps relinquished custody of the 5,760 acres to Department of the Interior and stated that all improvements placed on the site had been removed and no restoration work was considered necessary. The War Department's permissive use permit with the Southern Pacific Company, which allowed the use of 3,815.5 acres, was terminated on 17 February 1945. In a letter to the War Department, dated 6 March 1945, Southern Pacific stated that they refused to sign a release of liability becausethey did not charge the government for the use of the land and felt the expense of inspecting the lands to execute therelease was not warranted. Revocable Permit No. 12 from the State of California for 640 acres was terminated on 8 March 1945. The State of California also refused to sign a release of liability because the permit contained a restorationclause. License W04193-eng-3213, from the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Company, was terminated on 26 September 1944. The company signed a release from liability on 10 November 1944. In another letter from the Corps to the BLM, dated 31 May 1951, it was stated that duds had been discovered inside and outside the site boundaries, necessitating ordnance clearance and dedudding activities on the site. The letter stated that the sitehad been visually inspected and cleared of all explosives or explosive objects reasonably possible to detect.It was recommended, however, that 3,840 acres of the site be restricted to surface use only |

| Ontario A.n.g. Training Site | 38.55 | Ontario | The Department of Defense (DoD) acquired 38.55 acres (7.93 in fee and 30.62 by lease) of the Ontario Municipal Airport from the City of Ontario between 1949 and 1961. From 1949 to 1998, the Air National Guard used the site under license from the U.S. Air Force in support of the missions of the 149th Control and Warning Squadron, the 163rd Tactical Support Group, the 196th Tactical Air Support Group, and the 148th Combat Communications Squadron. On 11 May 1988, DoD disposed of 27.41 acres of the site to the City of Los Angeles and retained 3.34 acres through lease. Upon recommendation from the Base Closure and Realignment Commission, on 28 March 2001 DoD disposed to the City of Los Angeles 11.74 acres, comprising 3.34 acres through termination of lease, and 8.41 acres transferred by quitclaim deed, of which 7.93 acres had been acquired in fee and 0.48 acres as easement. The City of Los Angeles, the current owner and operator of the Ontario International Airport, intends to use the site for aviation purposes. The 27.41 acres disposed of in 1988 was considered FUDS-eligible and the City of Los Angeles initiated cleanup with an underground storage tank (UST) removal and a Phase I Environmental Assessment. Based on the foregoing, 27.41 acres have been determined to be formerly used by the DoD and are therefore eligible for the Defense Environmental Restoration Program-Formerly Used Defense Sites established under 10 USC 2701 et seq. |

| Ontario Army Airfield | 845.00 | Ontario | The site consisted of a total of 875.49 acres; 375.11 acres fee, 518.12 acres lease, and 0.26 acres easement acquired between 1942 and 1944. A portion of the site (Ontario Air National Guard) is adressed under J09CA0522. Civilian airport operations at this site began in the early 1930s and was located in the southwest corner of the field. The airport was then expanded between 1940 and 1942 by the City of Ontario. The AAF began operation in 1942, when the U.S. Army obtained control of Ontario Municipal Airport and expanded it by development of the agricultural land adjacent to the airport. The U.S. Army utilized the site for training P-38 fighter pilots. The site was surplused on 15 November 1945 and then transferred on 29 October 1946 to the War Assets Administration for control. In 1949, the U.S. terminated allleases and easements at the site and quitclaimed the fee title tot he City of Ontario, with the exception of 7.93 acres, which was withdrawn from surplus on 7 April 1949 by the U.S. Air Force for the establishment of the National Guard Training Site. Based on the foregoing, the site has been determined to be formerly used by the Department of Defense, therefore it is eligible for the Defense Environmental Restoration Program-Formerly Used Defense Sites established under 10 USC 2701 et seq. |

| Norton Air Force Base | 2548.17 | San Bernardino | The former Norton Air Force Base (NAFB) was located between 3rd Street, the Santa Ana River, Palm Avenue, and Waterman Street in the eastern portion of the City of San Bernardino in the County of San Bernardino, California. The Base was closed 31 March 1994 and disposal of the property is underway. This report only addresses disposals prior to 1986. Of the properties disposed between 1946 and 1970, 0.03 acres were acquired through license, 0.74 acres through easement, 99.98 acres through leasehold, 50.27 acres in fee, and 1.1 acres by permit. Of the properties disposed between 1971 and 1986, 69.69 acres were acquired through an aviation easement in March 1945, 4.52 acres acquired through deed easement in 1945, and Declaration of Taking and Grant Deed acquired 19.41 acres in fee in 1950-51. Total acquisition for the period 1946 to 1986 was 245.74 acres, outside Base Realignment And Closure (BRAC) boundaries. The parcels terminated between 1946 and 1970 were used for water and sewer pipeline rights-of-way, navigation lineup lights, portable airway flight aid lights, living quarters and storage space. One small section permitted by the San Bernardino Flood Control District was used as a fire protection training area and waste storage area. The permit was terminated, however, the section is entirely within a tract, which was held until the BRAC closure. This section has been studied and all information pertaining to this small section is contained in separate reports on file at the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) Santa Ana Region in accordance with the Installation Restoration Program, and therefore, will not be considered. Based on the foregoing, portions of the site have been determined to be formerly used by the Department of Defense and are therefore eligible for the Defense Environmental Restoration Program-Formerly Used Defense Sites established under 10 USC 2701 et seq. |
