A prescribed burn will be implemented by the Presidio of Monterey Fire Department and administered by the United States Army with support from Ahtna Global, LLC and Ahtna subcontractors.

Where: Bureau of Land Management Area B, Unit A

When: Fall/Winter 2025 (specific date TBD)

More information about the prescribed burn may be found on the Fort Ord Cleanup website. Also, enroll in the Army's Direct Notification Program to receive messages when the prescribed burn is imminent, has been ignited, and has been completed.

MBARD's Role:

Due to the project being conducted under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), MBARD has no regulatory authority. MBARD staff do, however, advise and recommend that the burns are conducted under the most ideal meteorological conditions for dispersion of the smoke.
