United States General Accounting Office -* r B-164217 RELEASED 1l/i0 The Honorable Antonio B. Won Pat House of Representatives Logistics and Communications Division OCTOBER 18, 1979 Dear Mr. Won Pat: Subject: Navy Guam Land Use Plan ddress Possible Alternatives LCD-80-12) This report is in response to your March 20, 1979, request for aLreview of the accuracy of the Guam Land Use Plan prepared by the U.S. Navy.26he Navy states that the Plan represents the military's required land use goals on Guam. The study, which resulted in the Plan, based land requirements primarily on current usage and the resulting safety areas and impacted zones. The total land holdings of the Department of Defense on Guam are 45,700 acres, about 32 percent of the entire island (see enclosure for map of Guam). Because of the size of this military property, the Secretary of Defense directed the Secretaries of the Navy and the Air Force in December 1974 to study the future needs for land and facil- ities on Guam. The study was coordinated by the Department of the Navy. The final Guam Land Use Plan was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on February 23, 1978. According to the Navy, the Plan represents Defense's desired mid-range (8-year) land use goals and is viewed as a general guideline for all components to follow in future planning of facility requirements on Guam. In summary, the plan identifies 2,625 acres available for release and an additional 2,555 acres for conditional release. It also identifies 900 acres required by Defense for acquisition in fee and another 1,285 acres where restrictive easements are required. However, we found that the Plan does not address all of the actions an4,alternatives identified during the study. These omissiodY7 would have reduced the military land require- ments and increased the amount available for release. J A 1111 IllillflU(945376) 110667 L% 7-1- GAO /
