adversely affecting the development, improvement, operation, or maintenance of the Airport at
which such Property is located pursuant to 49 U.S.C, 47151-47153, formally known as the
Surplus Property Act of 1944, as amended.
B. Property transferred for the development, improvement, operation or maintenance of
the Airport shall be used and maintained for the use and benefit of the public on fair and
reasonable terms, without unjust discrimination and without grant or exercise of any exclusive
right for use of the Airport within the meaning of the term "exclusive right" as used in
subparagraph C of this paragraph. In furtherance of this covenant (but without limiting its
general applicability and effect) the GRANTEE specifically agrees (1) That it will keep the
Airport available as an airport for public use on fair and reasonable terms and without unjust
discrimination, to all types, kinds, and classes of aeronautical uses. Provided, that the
GRANTEE may establish such fair, equal, and not unjustly discriminatory conditions to be met
by all user of the Airport as may be necessary for the safe and efficient operation of the Airport;
and provided, further, that the GRANTEE may prohibit or limit any given type, kind, or class of
aeronautical use of the Airport if such action is necessary for the safe operation of the Airport to
serve the civil aviation needs of the public; (2) That in its operation and the operation of
facilities on the Airport, neither it nor any person or organization occupying space or facilities
thereupon will discriminate against any person or class of persons by reason of race, color, creed;
age, religion, sex, handicap, or national origin in the use of any of the facilities provided for the
public on the Airport; (3) That in any agreement, contract, lease, or other arrangement under
which a right or privilege at the Airport is granted to any person, firm or corporation to conduct
or engage in any aeronautical activity for furnishing services to the public at the Airport, the
GRANTEE will insert and enforce provisions requiring the contractor: (a) to furnish said service
on a fair, equal, and not unjustly discriminatory basis to all users thereof, and (b) to charge fair,
reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory prices for each unit or service, provided, that the
contractor may be allowed to make reasonable and nondiscriminatory discounts, rebates, or other
similar types of price reductions to volume purchasers; (4) That the GRANTEE will not exercise
or grant any right or privilege which would operate to prevent any person, firm, or corporation
operating aircraft on the Airport from performing any services on its won aircraft with its own
employees (including, but not limited to maintenance, repair, and fueling) that it may choose to
perform; (5) That in the event the GRANTEE itself exercises any of the rights and privileges
referred to in subsection (3) above, the services involved will be provided on the same conditions
as would apply to the furnishing of such services by contractors or concessionaires of the
GRANTEE under the provisions of such subsection (3) of this paragraph VII.B.
C. The GRANTEE will not grant to, or permit any exclusive right, which is forbidden
by FAA requirements, and as described in 49 V.S.C. Section 40 103 (e), formally known as
3
Section 308 of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended, and 49 U.S.C. Section
471 52(3)(A) & (B), for the use of the Airport, at which the property described herein is located,
by any person or persons to the exclusion of others in the same class and will otherwise comply
with all applicable laws. In furtherance of this covenant (but without limiting its general
applicability and effect), the GRANTEE specifically agrees that, unless authorized by the FAA,
it will not, either directly or indirectly, grant or permit any person, firm or corporation the
exclusive right to conduct any aeronautical activity on the Airport including but not limited to,
charter flights, pilot training, aircraft rental and sightseeing, aerial photography, crop dusting,
aerial advertising and surveying, air carrier operations, aircraft sales, and services, sale of
aviation petroleum products whether or not conducted in conjunction with other aeronautical
activity, repair and maintenance of aircraft, sale of aircraft parts, and any other activities which
because of their direct relationship to the operation of aircraft can be regarded as an aeronautical
activity. The GRANTEE further agrees that it will terminate as soon as possible and no later
than the earliest renewal, cancellation, or expiration date applicable thereto, any exclusive right
existing at any Airport owned or controlled by the GRANTEE or hereafter acquired and that,
thereafter, no such right shall be granted. However, nothing contained herein shall be construed
to prohibit the granting or exercise of an exclusive right for the furnishing of non-aviation
products and supplies or any services of a non-aeronautical nature or to obligate the GRANTEE
to furnish any particular non-aeronautical service at the Airport.
D. The GRANTEE shall, insofar as it is within its powers and to the extent reasonable,
adequately clear and protect the Airport by removing, lowering, relocating, marking, lighting, or
otherwise mitigating existing Airport hazards and by preventing the establishment or creation of
future Airport hazards. The GRANTEE will, either by the acquisition and retention of easements
or other interests in or rights for the use of land or airspace or by the adoption and enforcement of
zoning regulations, or by any other reasonable means, prevent the construction, erection, .
alteration, or growth of any structure, tree, or other object in areas of the RPZ which would
constitute an obstruction to air navigation according to the criteria or standards prescribed in Part
77 of the Federal Aviation Regulations [14 CFR Part 77], and, as applicable, according to the
approved Airport Layout Plan. In addition, the GRANTEE will not erect or permit the erection
of any permanent structure or facility which would interfere materially with the use, operation of
the Airport in or on any portion of a runway approach area in which the GRANTEE has control
over, or has acquired, or hereafter acquires, property interests permitting the GRANTEE to so
control, the use made of the surface of the land or airspace or by the adoption and enforcement of
zoning regulations or by any other reasonable means take action to restrict the use of the land
adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of the Airport to activities and purposes compatible with
normal Airport operations including landing and takeoff of aircraft.
E. The GRANTEE will operate and maintain in a safe and serviceable condition, as
deemed reasonably necessary by the FAA, the Airport and all facilities thereon and connected
therewith which are necessary to service the aeronautical users of the Airport other than facilities
owned or controlled by the United States and will not permit any activity thereon which would
interfere with its use for Airport purposes: Provided, that nothing contained herein shall be
construed to require that the Airport be operated for aeronautical uses during temporary periods
when hurricanes, flood, or other climatic conditions interfere with such operation and
4
maintenance, nor shall anything herein be construed to require the repair, restoration or
replacement of any structure or facility which is substantially damaged or destroyed due to an act
of God or other condition or circumstance beyond the control of the GRANTEE.
F. That the GRANTEE will make available all facilities.ofthe Airport at which the
Property described herein is located or developed, and all those usable for the landing and taking
off of aircraft, to the United States at all times, without charge, for use by government aircraft in
common with other aircraft, except that if the use by government aircraft in common with other
aircraft is substantial, a reasonable share, proportional to such use, of the cost of operating and
maintaining facilities so used, may be charged. Unless otherwise determined by the FAA, or
otherwise agreed to by the GRANTEE and the Government, substantial use of the Airport by
Government aircraft will be considered to exist (1) when operations of such aircraft are in excess
of those which, in the opinion of the FAA, would unduly interfere with use of the landing area by
other authorized aircraft or (2) during any calendar month that either (a) five (5) or more
Government aircraft are regularly based at the Airport or on land adjacent thereto, or (b) the total
number of movements (counting each landing as a movement and each take-off as a movement)
of Government aircraft is 300 or more, or (c) the gross accumulative weight of Government
aircraft using the Airport (the total movements of such Government aircraft multiplied by the
gross certified weight of such government aircraft) is in excess of five million pounds.
G, That during any national emergency declared by the President of the UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA or the Congress thereof, including any existing national emergency, the
Government shall have the right to make exclusive or non-exclusive use and have exclusive or
non-exclusive control and possession, without charge, of the Airport, or of such portion thereof
as it may desire, provided, however, that the government shall be responsible for the entire cost
of maintaining such part of the airport as it may use exclusively, or over which it may have
exclusive possession and control, and shall be obligated to contribute a reasonable share,
commensurate with the use made by it, of the cost of maintenance of such property as it may use
non-exclusively or over which it may have non-exclusive control and possession: Provided,
further, that the government shall pay a fair rental as just compensation for its use, control, or
possession, exclusively or non-exclusively, of any improvement to the Airport made without
United States aid and never owned by the United States.
H. The GRANTEE does hereby release the government, and will take whatever action
may be required by the FAA to assure the complete release of the government from any and all
liability the government may be under for restoration or other damages under any lease or other
agreement covering the use by the United States of the Airport, or any part thereof, owned,
controlled, or operated by the GRANTEE upon which, adjacent to which, or in connection with
which, the Property was located or used: Provided, that this release shall not be construed as
depriving the GRANTEE of any right it may otherwise have to receive reimbursement under
Section 17 of the Federal Airport Act [49 App. U.S.C.A. Section 1116] for the necessary
rehabilitation or repair of. the Airport heretofore or hereafter substantially damaged by the
Government.
5
I. The GRANTEE does hereby release, save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the
Government, its officers, agents, and employees, for and from any and all liabilities, losses,
claims, expenses, suits, fines, penalties, judgments, demands or actions, and costs (including but
not limited to consulting, engineering, clean-up, disposal or restoration costs, investigator's fees,
attorney fees) and damages (including but not limited to personal injury, death, and Property
damage) directly or indirectly arising out of, caused by, related to, resulting from or in any way
predicated upon, in whole or in part, the possession, use or occupancy by the GRANTEE,
(including the GRANTEE's officers, agents, employees, tenants, customers, or tenant customers,
third persons, or invitees), of the Property, both real and personal, transferred by this Deed., or
attributable or incident to the physical condition or state of repair of the Property transferred by
this Deed, or any activities conducted or services furnished in connection with or pursuant to the
Property transferred by this Deed.
J. That whenever so requested by the FAA, GRANTEE will furnish without cost to the
Government, for construction, operation and maintenance of facilities for air traffic control
activities, or weather reporting activities, or communication activities related to air traffic
control, such areas of land or water, or estate therein, or rights in buildings and/or facilities of the
GRANTEE located on the airport or at which the Property described herein is located, as the
FAA may consider necessary or desirable for use and/or construction at government expense of
space or facilities for such purposes. The GRANTEE will make available such areas or any
portion thereof for the purposes provided herein within four (4) months after receipt of written
request from the FAA, if such are or will be available.
K. The GRANTEE will: (1) furnish the FAA with annual or special Airport financial
and operational reports as may be reasonably requested using either forms furnished by the FAA
or in such manner as it elects so long as the essential data are furnished, and (2) upon reasonable'
request by the FAA, make available for inspection by any duly authorized representative of the
FAA the Property described herein, and all Property records and documents affecting the
Property, including deeds, leases, operation and use agreements, regulations, and other
instruments, and will furnish to the FAA a true copy of any such document which may be
reasonably requested.
L. The GRANTEE will not enter into any transaction which would operate to deprive it
of any of the rights and powers necessary to perform or comply with all the terms, covenants,
conditions, restrictions, and reservations set forth in this Deed unless by such transaction the
obligation to perform or comply with all such terms, covenants, conditions, restrictions, and
reservations is assumed by another public agency found by the FAA to be eligible as a public
agency, as the term "public agency" is defined in 49 V.S.C. Section 47102(15), to assume such
obligation and have power, authority, and financial resources to carry out all such obligations. If
an arrangement is made for management or operation of the Property by any agency or person
other than the GRANTEE, the GRANTEE will reserve sufficient rights and authority to insure
that the Property will be operated and maintained in accordance with the terms, covenants,
conditions, reservations, and restrictions in this Deed, any applicable Federal statutes, and
Federal Regulations.
6
M. That the GRANTEE will keep up to date at all times an Airport Layout Plan of the
Airport at which the Property described herein is located showing: (a) the boundaries of the
Airport and all proposed additions thereto, together with the boundaries of all off site areas o\Wed
or controlled by the GRANTEE for Airport purposes and proposed additions thereto; (b) the
location and nature of all existing and proposed Airport facilities and structures (such as
runways, taxiways, aprons, terminal buildings, hangars, and roads), including all proposed
extensions and reductions of existing Airport facilities; and (c) the location of all existing and
proposed nonaviation areas and of all existing improvements thereon and uses made thereof,
Such Airport Layout Plan and each amendment, revision, or modification thereof, shall be
subject to the approval of the FAA, which approval shall be evidenced by the signature of a duly
authorized representative of the FAA on the face of the Airport Layout Plan. The GRANTEE
will not make or permit the making of any changes or alterations in the Airport or in any of its
facilities which are not in conformity with the Airport Layout Plan as so approved by the FAA,
and which might, in the opinion of the FAA, adversely affect the safety, utility, or efficiency of
the Airport.
N. That if at any time it is determined by the FAA that there is any outstanding right or
claim of right in or to the Airport or Property, described herein, the existence of which creates an
undue risk of interference with the operation of the Airport or the performance or compliance
with the terms, covenants, conditions, restrictions and reservations set forth herein, the
GRANTEE will acquire, extinguish, or modify such right or claim of right in a manner
acceptable to the FAA.
O. The terms, covenants, conditions, restrictions, and reservations set forth in this Deed
are a binding servitude on the Property herein conveyed and shall be deemed to run with the land
in perpetuity. The terms, reservations, restrictions, covenants, and conditions contained in this .
Deed shall be inserted by the GRANTEE verbatim or by express reference in any deed or other
legal instrument by which it divests itself of either the fee simple title or any other lesser estate in
the Property or any portion thereof.
P. The operation of the Airport shall be subject to such regulations as may be prescribed
by the FAA from time to time, and the GRANTEE, its successors and assigns, shall comply with
all pertinent laws, ordinances, rules, orders, guidelines, or other applicable regulations and shall
hold the GRANTOR hannless from any and all liabilities or penalties which may be imposed by
reason of any asserted violation thereof by the GRANTEE. All rights and powers reserved to
the GRANTOR or the FAA, and all references in this Deed to GRANTOR or FAA shall include
successors in function. The GRANTOR may agree in writing, after obtaining the concurrence of
the FAA, to waive, eliminate, or reduce the obligations contained in this Deed.
Q. That in the event that any of the aforesaid terms, conditions, covenants, reservations,
or restrictions are not met, observed, or complied with by the GRANTEE or any subsequent
transferee, successor or assign, whether caused by the legal inability of said GRANTEE or any
subsequent transferee, successor or assign, to perform any of the obligations herein set out, or
otherwise, the title, right of possession and all other rights transferred by this Deed to the
7
GRANTEE, or any portion thereof, shall at the option of the Government, acting by and through
the FAA, revert to the Government in its then existing condition sixty (60) days following the
date upon which demand to this effect is made in writing by the FAA. If within said sixty (60)
days such default or violation shall have been cured and all such terms, conditions, reservations
and restrictions shall have been met, observed, and complied with, or, if within said sixty (60)
days the GRANTEE shall have commenced the actions necessary to bring the GRANTEE into
compliance with all such terms, conditions, covenants, reservations and restrictions of this Deed
in accordance with a compliance schedule approved by the FAA, then said reversion shall not
occur and title, right of possession, and all other rights transferred hereby, except such, if any, as
shall have previously terminated or reverted, shall remain vested in the GRANTEE, its
transferees, successors and assigns, This option of reversion shall be a continuing one, and may
be exercised by Government any time the FAA determines the aforesaid terms, covenants,
conditions, reservations, or restrictions are not met, observed or complied with by the
GRANTEE or any subsequent transferee, successor or assignee.
R. All local taxes on aviation fuel generated at the Airport (except taxes in effect on
December 30, 1987) and all the revenues generated by the Airport shall be used for exclusively
for the capital or operating costs of
i. the Airport;
ii. the local airport system; or
iii. any other local facility that is owned or operated by the GRANTEE and
that is directly and substantially related to the air transportation of passengers or property;
PROVIDED that the aforesaid limitations on the use of airport revenue shall not apply if a
provision enacted not later than September 2, 1982, in a law controlling financing by the
GRANTEE, or a covenant or assurance in a debt obligation issued not later than September 2,
1982, by the GRANTEE, provides that the revenues, including local taxes on aviation fuel at the'
Airport, from any of the facilities of the GRANTEE, including the airport, be used to support not
only the airport but also the general debt obligations or other facilities of the GRANTEE:
PROVIDED FURTHER that, the aforesaid limitation shall not be construed to prevent the use of
a State tax on aviation fuel to support a State aviation program or the use of airport revenue on or
off the airport for a noise mitigation program.
S. That if the construction as covenants of any of the reservations and restrictions recited
in this Deed as covenants or the application of the same as covenants in any particular instance is
held invalid, or the particular reservations and restrictions recited in this Deed as covenants or the
application of the same as covenants in any particular instance is held invalid, then the particular
reservations or restrictions in question shall be construed instead merely as conditions upon the
breach of which Government, acting by and through the FAA, may exercise its option to cause
the title, interest, right of possession, and all other rights transferred to GRANTEE, or any
portion thereof, to revert to it, and the application of such reservations or restrictions as
covenants in any other instance and the construction of the remainder of such reservations and
restrictions as covenants shall not be affected thereby.
T. The failure of the Government to insist in anyone or more instances upon complete
performance of any of the terms, covenants, conditions, reservations, or restrictions in this Deed
8
shall not be construed as a waiver or a relinquishment of the future performance of any such
terms, covenants, conditions, reservations, or restrictions, and the obligations of the GRANTEE,
its successors and assigns, with respect to such future performance shall continue in full force
and effect.
VII. AND IT IS FURTHER AGREED AND UNDERSTOOD by and between the parties hereto
and the GRANTEE, by its acceptance of this Deed, acknowledges its understanding of the
agreement, and agrees that, as part of the consideration for this Deed, the GRANTEE covenants
and agrees for itself, its successors and assigns, that: (1) The program for or in connection with
which this Deed is made will be conducted in compliance with, and the GRANTEE, its
successors and assigns, will comply with all requirements imposed by or pursuant to the
regulations of the U.S. Department of Transportation, the FAA, and 49 CFR Part 21, and any
subsequent amendments thereto, issued under the provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act
of 1964, as amended; (2) This covenant shall be subject in all respects to the provisions of said
regulations; (3) the GRANTEE, its successors and assigns, will promptly take and continue to
take such action as may be necessary to effectuate this covenant; (4) The Government, acting by

GRANTEE, its successors and assigns, will: (a) obtain from any person (including any legal
entity) who, through contractual or other arrangements with the GRANTEE, its successors and
assigns, is authorized to provide services or benefits under said program, a written agreement
pursuant to which such other person shall, with respect to the services or benefits which he is
authorized to provide, undertake for himself the same obligations as those imposed upon the
GRANTEE, its successors and assigns, by this covenant, and (b) furnish the original of such
agreement to the FAA, upon FAA request therefore; and, (6) This covenant shall run with the
land hereby conveyed, and shall in any event, without regard to technical classification or
designation, legal or otherwise, be binding to the fullest extent permitted by law and equity for
the benefit of, and in favor of the Government and enforceable by the Government, acting by and
through the FAA, against the GRANTEE, its successors, and assigns.
VIII. A Finding of Suitability to Transfer (FOST) is attached as EXHIBIT "B" to the Deed; an
Environmental Baseline Survey (EBS) report is referenced in the FOST; the FOST and EBS
reference environmental conditions on the Property and on other Property not subject to this
Deed. Those restrictions and environmental conditions described in the FOST and EBS which
are applicable to the Property are contained in this Deed. The FOST sets forth the basis for the
GRANTOR's determination that the Property is suitable for transfer. The GRANTEE is hereby
made aware of the notifications contained in the EBS and the FOST.
The property contains improvements that, due to their age, are likely to have been painted
with lead based paint. A Lead Based Paint Disclosure Statement is provided as EXHIBIT "e"

NOTICE OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE OR PETROLEUM PRODUCT
STORED FOR MORE THAN ONE YEAR OR MORE. KNOWN TO HA VE BEEN
RELEASED OR DISPOSED OF.
The information contained in this notice is required under the authority of Section l20(h)(3) of
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Liability, and Compensation Act (CERCLA or
"Superfund") 42 U.S.C. Section 9620 (h)(3),
Based on past use of the facility as a Shore Defense Facility and Mobile Home
Community, it is expected that small amounts of hazardous substances were stored on the
Property for one year or more. A site inspection performed in 1998, which included surface soil
and groundwater sampling, did not detect any concentrations of hazardous substances or
petroleum products or their derivatives above Florida Department of Environmental Protection
(FDEP) action levels requiring any removal or remedial action. FDEP and the U. S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have concurred with this determination.
GRANTOR covenants and warrants that any response action or corrective action found
to be necessary after the date of transfer on those areas where no hazardous substance and no
petroleum product or their derivatives were stored for one year or more, released or disposed of
shall be conducted by the United States.
GRANTEE covenants that the GRANTOR its officers, agents, employees, contractors
and subcontractors, in accordance with section 120(h) of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act, shall have access to the property in any case in which
remedial action or corrective action is found to be necessary after the date of the conveyance of
the Property. GRANTEE agrees to comply with activities of the GRANTOR in furtherance of
these covenants and will take no action to interfere with future necessary remedial and
investigative actions of the GRANTOR. The GRANTOR and the GRANTEE agree to
cooperate in good faith to minimize any conflict between necessary environmental investigation
and remediation activities and operations of GRANTEE, its successors and assigns, and of any
Lessee or any Sublessee of the Property. Any inspection, survey, investigation, or other response
or remedial action will to the extent practicable be coordinated with representatives designated
by GRANTEE or its successors and assigns,
GRANTEE acknowledges that East Martello Battery Bunker, located on the Property,
is eligible for placement on the National Registry of Historic Places and is subject to The
Standard Architectual and Archeological Preservation Covenant for Transferred Property as
approved by the Florida State Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. The Preservation
Covenant is included as EXHIBIT "D" to this deed,

FINDING OF SIDTABILITY TO TRANSFER
EAST MARTELLO BATTERY
KEY WEST, FLORIDA
1.0 Purpose
This Finding of Suitability to Transfer (FOST) documents my determiJJation, as the respo~ible-~ ~_
D~partment of Defense (Do D) component officiaL that 13.96 acres ofihe real property known as
East Martello Battery, Naval Air Station Key West (Subject Property), is environmentally suitable
for deed transfer to the City of Key West Navy Properties Local Reuse Authority (NPLRA) for
the authorized use as wetlands preservation and passive open space recreation under the terms of
the conveyance from the Department ofInterior (DOl) and in accordance with the NPLRA
Redevelopment Plan. The remaining 26.49 acres are suitable for transfer to Monroe County
under a Department of Transportation (DOT), Federal Aviation Authority Public Benefit
Conveyance for authorized use as a runway protection zone and obstruction-free zone.
This decision is based upon a review of information contained in the attached Environmental
Baseline Survey (BBS) and the Reuse PIan developed by the NPLRA. Factors leading to this
decision and other pertinent information related to property transfer requirements are stated
below.
2.0 Property Description
The Subject Property is located in Monroe County, Key West, Florida within the boundaries of
the City of Key West as more particularly described in the attached EBS. Subject Property is
fenced and comprises approximately 40.45 acres and is bounded by Key West International
Airport on the east, residential neighborhoods to the north and northwest, and wetlands to the
west and south.
3.0 Past Use and Proposed Reuse
Subject Property was acquired by the United States Army during the early 1940s. It was used for
shore defense d111iQg World War n. The land was transferred to the Navy in 1950. The Navy
developed the parcel into a mobile home community. The trailer project was deactivated in 1956.
All trailers were removed from the site along with any support buildings. Monroe County Civil
Defense used the property under license from the Navy for a civil defense admini!'ltrative
commann post from 1985 until 1992. The approved reuse for the Subject Property is as stated in
Section 1.0 of this FOST.
4.0 Environmental Condition
All available information concerning the past storage, release, or disposal of any hazardous
substances and/or petroleum products on the Subject Property as collected through record
searches, available aerial photographs, personnel interviews, and on-site visual inspections
conducted is contained in the attached EBS. A hurricane swept over Key West on 25 September
1998; however, the overall environmental condition of the property remains unchanged, The

~;-- -"
FINDING OF SUITABILITY TO TRANSFER
EAST MARTELLO BATTERY
KEY WEST, FLORIDA
following paragraphs summarize the EBS findings and corresponding DoD condition of property
classifications assigned to the Subject Property.
A. Hazardous Substances Contamination
Based on past use of the fucility as a shore defense fucility and mobile home community, it
is expected that small amounts of hazardous substances were stored on the Subject
Property for one year or more, although no records were found to indicate the type or
amount of substance which may have been present. The Navy conducted a Site Inspection
(SI) of the Subject Property in 1998. The surface soil and groundwater were sampled for
volatile organic compounds (VOCs), semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs),
inorganics, petroleum, and metals. No VOCs, SVOCs, inorganics, petroleum, or metals
were detected in the surface soils above Florida Department of Environmental Protection
(FDEP) action levels. Three groundwater monitoring wells were installed during the SI.
No VOCs, SVOCs, or inorganics were detected in excess of their screening values in the
groundwater. Iron, lead, and zinc were the only chemicals detected in the well samples.
Based upon the information contained in the attached EBS, Subject Property has been
classified in accordance with DoD environmental condition of property guidance as
Category 3/Light Green (areas where a release of hazardous substances or petroleum
products or their derivatives has occurred, but at concentrations that do not require
removal or remedial action.)
B. Petroleum Contamination
No underground or aboveground storage tanks are known to have been associated with
the Subject Property. No other potential petroleum contaminated areas are suspected
C. Other Environmental Aspects
1. Asbestos-Containing Material (ACM)
Non-friable ACM is present in the vinyl floor tile, tile mastic, and a vent pipe flashing
material in the bunker.
2. Lead-Based Paint (LBP)
Due to the age of the structure, painted surfaces in or on the bunker are presumed to
be LBP. This structure is not considered target housing as defined by 24 CFR 35 or
40 CFR 745. A Lead-Based Paint Hazard Notice is provided as Attachment 1 to
this FOST.

3. Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)
Electricity is provided by the City of Key West. No electrical transf~rme~ lo_cat~d _
- on and arowid the Subject PropertY- are known to coiitain -PCBS.-
4. Radon
Radon sampling was not performed on the Subject Property. Radon is not expected
to be a concern based on results of other sampling conducted in Key We~.
5.0 Reauirements Applicable to Transfer
A. National Environmental Policy Act (NEP A)
An Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Subject Property, has been prepared in
accordance with National Environmental Policy Act requirements. The EA addresses
environmental impacts associated with the transfer and subsequent reuse of the Subject
Property. A Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) was signed in February 2000.
B. Hazardous Substance Notice
In accordance with Section 120(h)(3)(A) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), the deed transferring the Subject Property .
will provide notification, based upon a complete search of agency files, ifhazardous
substances were stored for one year or more, released, or disposed of on the Subject
Property. No records were found to indicate what substances may have been stored or
used on the Subject Property. No records were found to indicate any release or disposal
of hazardous substances on the Subject Property. It should be noted that the Subject
Property lies directly at the end ofa runway of Key West International Airport and is in
the flight path of both aircraft takeoffs and landings. Many of the low levels of substances
found during the Site Investigation (SI) are polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (pAHs),
which are a result of jet and diesel turbo engine emissions. Additionally the sampling
results from the SI would indicate none of the hazardous substances were found in excess
of the reportable thresholds of 40 CPR 373.
C. CERCLA Covenants
In accordance with CERCLA Section 120(h)(3)(A)(ii)(I), the deed transferring the subject
property shall contain a covenant warranting that all remedial action necessary to protect
human health and the environment with respect to any hazardous substance remaining on
the property has been taken before the date of transfer.
Page 3 of 5
FINDING OF SUITABILITY TO TRANSFER
EAST MARTELLO BATTERY
KEY WEST, FLORIDA
In accordance with CERCLA Section 120(h)(3)(A)(ii)(Il), the deed transferring the
subject property shall contain a covenant warranting that any additional remediat action
- fOlmd to be necessary after the <lite of transfer Shall be conducted-by the United States.
D. CERCLA Access Clause
In accordance with CERCLA 120(h)(3)(A)(fu), the deed transferring the subject property
shall contain a clause granting the United States access to the property in any case in
which a response action or corrective action is found to be necessary after such date at
such property, or access is necessary to carry out a response action or corrective action on
adjoining property.
The right to enter to be set forth shall include the right to conducts tests, investigations,
five-year reviews, surveys, and, where necessary, drilling, test pitting, boring, and other
similar activities. Such right shall also include the right to construct, operate, maintain, or
undertake any other response action or corrective action as required or necessary,
including but not limited to, monitoring wells, pumping wells, and treatment :facilities.
. These access rights are in addition to those granted to federal, state, and local authorities
under applicable environmental regulations.
E. Land and/or Groundwater Restrictions
There are no land or groundwater restrictions associated with the approved reuses of the
Subject Property for wetlands conservation, passive recreation, airport security, and
runway protection. The NPLRA has proposed zoning the area for public/private services,
and two conservation districts and has received conveyance approval from both DOl and
DOT based on the proposed reuse of the property.
F. Indemnification
The federal government shall hold harmless, defend, and indemnify the NPLRA and any
future successor, assignee, transferee, lender, or lessee of the Subject Property from any
suit, demand, cost, or liability arising out of any claim for personal injury or property
damage than may result from, or be predicated upon, the release or threatened release of
any hazardous substance, petroleum product, petroleum derivative, pollutant, or
contaminant result from Department of Defense activities on the property subject to the
conditions specified in, and to the extent authorized by, Section 330 of Public Law 102-
484 as amended by Section 1002 of Public Law 103-160.

G. Environmental Compliance AgreementlPermitslOrders
There are no environmental compliance agreement/permits/orders associated with the
Subject Property,
H. Notification to Regulatory AgencieslPublic
In accordance with DoD guidance, the U.S. EP A, and FDEP have been advised of the
proposed transfer of the Subject Property and draft copies of the EBS and FOST have
been provided to those agencies for review. The EBS and FOST were also made available
for public review from 17 April through 1 May 2000. All regulatory agency and public
comments received have been considered and incorporated as deemed appropriate. Any
unresolved comments and the Navy's responses thereto are included as Attachment 2 to
the FOST. Copies of all transfer documentation provided to the NPLRA will be made
available to the U.S. EP A and FDEP representatives upon request after execution of the
same.
6.0 Suitability Determination
NOW, THEREFORE, based upon review of the information contained in the attached EBS as
well as the NPLRA's Reuse Plan, I have determined that the Subject Parcel is presently suitable
for transfer to the NPLRA for the intended purpose.
