Fort George G. Meade, Maryland
Management’s review concluded that AOC is not responsible for the clean-up and remediation of previous environmental contamination on the approximately 100 acres of land at Fort George G. Meade, Maryland, which the U.S. Army transferred to AOC. The Army is responsible for the environmental clean-up of any previous contamination under CERCLA. AOC understands that the Army is actively monitoring existing contamination on the entire site, including the land transferred to AOC, and is pursuing appropriate remediation of this contamination.
Note 14: Leases
As of September 30, 2014, AOC was committed to various non-cancelable leases primarily covering administrative office space and storage facilities, motor vehicles, and office equipment. Many of these leases contain escalation clauses tied to inflationary and tax increases, and renewal options. At the end of the current reporting period, AOC had one real property capital lease for the Senate Sergeant of Arms Warehouse facility in Landover, MD.

Capital leases have initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year and the capital lease liability is amortized over the term of the lease. As of September 30, 2014 and 2013, the present value of the future minimum lease payments required by those leases identified as capital leases is as follows:
