Approximately 28,000 acres were acquired in fee by Declarations of Taking, and 2,500 acres were withdrawn from Public Domain lands. The Mission Trails Regional Park was conveyed to the city of San Diego by quitclaim deed on 10 January 1964. This deed restricted the use of the 2,100 acre site to historic monument/public recreational purposes for 20 years. The East Elliot area was reported excess to the General Service Administration by the Navy in 1961 and disposed of by quitclaim deeds to private parties between 1973 and 1974. The parcels vary in size and the total area is approximately 3,200 acres. A landfill, operated by the county of San Diego, is located within the East Elliot area. The area north of Tierrasanta, Mission Trails, and East Elliot is still in use by DoD (primarily the Navy with some Marine Corps and Air Force activity) and encompasses approximately 15,500 acres. Activities include movement and simulated exercises by reserve units. Area D, approximately 1,800 acres, includes land parcels that are used by California Western University and University of California as campuses, and land parcels used for Naval housing projects. There were numerous highway easements granted through this area. Area G, approximately 2,900 acres, includes properties that were disposed of by quitclaim deeds to private parties between 1963 and 1964. Area H, approximately 400 acres, was originally land that was withheld from Public Domain, but later returned. This property is known or suspected to contain military munitions and explosives of concern (e.g., unexploded ordnance) and therefore may present an explosive hazard (Source: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) « see less
