Recommendation: The recommendation is to close the Inland area of Naval
Weapons Station Seal Beach Detachment, Concord CA, except to retain
such property and facilities as are necessary to support operations in the
Tidal area of Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach Detachment Concord. The
Tidal area of Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach Detachment Concord,
along with the retained portion of the Inland area, shall be transferred to the
Army.
Justification: While Department of the Navy weapons stations have no
excess capacity for loading and distribution of munitions, there is an excess
of munitions storage capacity. Because of the departure of Fleet units from
the San Francisco area in the 1990s, the Department of the Navy has
concluded this capability is no longer necessary and most of the Inland area
is excess to its needs. The closure of the Inland area, therefore, will save
money and have no impact on mission capability. Sufficient land had been
retained to permit safe, temporary holding of railcars with munitions
destined for loading by the Army-managed Marine Ocean Terminal Concord
(at the Tidal area) during high tempo operations.
The City of Concord requested closure of the entire Naval Weapons Station
Seal Beach Detachment Concord, but munitions loading requirements
preclude closing the Tidal area. However, the Inland area is excess and may
be closed. Because Tidal area operations are in support of the Army
component of the U.S. Transportation Command, transfer of the property to
the Army aligns the property holder with the property user.
