The Fort Pierce Naval Amphibious Training Base was a 19,280 -acre site that <br />extended approximately 25 miles from near Vero Beach to near Jensen Beach and <br />included North and South Hutchinson Islands. Once the war was over, the military no <br />longer needed the site, and the land was returned to the original owners. <br />The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) has completed a number of studies to <br />determine how the military used the area and if anything remains from their training. We <br />are now conducting a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study in three areas. The <br />purpose of a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study is to determine if anything remains in <br />the area from the military's training, and if so, in what amounts and locations. <br />According to our records, your property is located within an area where we need to <br />search. This does not mean we have information indicating there is a problem with your <br />property. The historical records simply show where the military may have trained, and our <br />investigation will allow us to verify if anything remains on the site. <br />In order to complete this important investigation, we need your permission to access <br />your property. The enclosed form grants the Government, its contractors and <br />subcontractors, permission to enter the specified property to perform the work described. <br />Please fill in the requested information at the bottom of the form, sign and date it. Please <br />return the entire page to us in the enclosed envelope by April 30, 2017. We will send you <br />an executed copy. <br />If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call the Formerly Used <br />Defense Site hotline at 866.279.4880 or email FUDS. Florida@usace.army.mi1. <br />Sincerely, <br />Francisco J.
