SEC. 912. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) The early defense lines for Fort Marion,
Florida, today known as the Castillo de San Marcos
National Monument, included defenses extending in a
†
HR 620 EAS
line due west to the Sebastian River, a distance of
about one half mile.
(2) In the 1830’s, during the Seminole Wars in
Florida, these defensive lines were maintained, but as
Florida became more settled they fell into disrepair
and/or became obsolete.
(3) In 1908 the War Department deeded much of
the property running west to the Sebastian River to
the St. Johns County Board of Public Instruction.
The portion of this property remaining in federal
ownership today is occupied by Orange Street, a City
of St. Augustine, Florida street.
(4) For nearly a century, the City of St. Augus-
tine has maintained and managed Orange Street, a
modern city street, and associated utilities in the Or-
ange Street corridor.
(5) Any archeological remains that are still
present on the property overlaid by Orange Street are
adequately protected by the City’s archeological ordi-
nances, and by the City having an archeologist on
staff.
(6) Although the city currently operates Orange
Street under a right-of-way from the National Park
Service, from a management perspective it is appro-
†
HR 620 EAS
priate for the City of St. Augustine to own Orange
Street.
SEC. 913. BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENT.
(a) CONVEYANCE OF LAND.—The Secretary of the Inte-

(Monument), consisting of approximately 3.1 acres, as
shown on the map entitled Castillo de San Marcos National
Monument Boundary Adjustment and Correction, num-
bered 343/80060, and dated April 2003. Upon completion

of the Monument to exclude the land conveyed.
(b) BOUNDARY REVISION.—Effective on the date of the
enactment of this Act, the boundary of the Monument is
revised to include an area of approximately 0.45 acres, as
shown on the map identified in subsection (a). The Sec-
retary shall administer the lands included in the boundary
as part of the national monument in accordance with ap-
