ADDITIONAL PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS:

The Military Ocean Terminal Concord (MOTCO) Project is located on Suisun Bay, 30 miles northeast of San Francisco, in Contra Costa County California. MOTCO’s infrastructure was constructed by the U.S.

Navy beginning in WWII and operated as a Navy installa�on. The U.S. Army MOTCO began opera�ons in 1997. Under a Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process, the installa�on was transferred to the Army in 2008. MOTCO is a SDDC muni�ons and general cargo transshipment facility. This installa�on is the primary West Coast common-user ammuni�on terminal, home to the SDDC’s 834th Transporta�on Batalion, and supports cri�cal Department of Defense war�me and con�ngency opera�ons throughout the Pacific Theater.

The work includes the underwater reloca�on of 25 debris objects located in the dredging areas of the MOTCO piers. All labor, materials, and equipment to dispose and maintain an accurate record of the method of debris reloca�on from the MOTCO site is the responsibility of the contractor. Acceptance of

W912P724S0008 A0001

Page 2 of 7 rev 1-2-14-2023 the debris reloca�on will be based on reloca�ng all the debris objects in the MOTCO dredging areas within the contract period of performance. The debris objects shall not be dragged through the botom of the MOTCO areas to the reloca�on areas.

The debris reloca�on work is also within an area of historical importance stemming from the 1944 explosion disaster, which destroyed a wooden Pier (Pier 1), two muni�on cargo ships, and resulted in the death of 320 soldiers, dispropor�onately African American men. Shipwreck debris remains in the dredging areas as well as the poten�al for smaller ar�facts such as human remains and personal items and Unexploded Ordnances (UXOs). Wreckage from the two ships will remain in water and be relocated in designated areas in the bay outside the dredging areas. A mul�beam survey was conducted in 2020 and a geophysical survey was conducted in 2023 that iden�fied 25 debris objects over 10 feet long within the dredging areas. The debris objects and reloca�on areas are shown in Figures 2, 3, 4 and 5
