Collaboration Needed to Promote Compatible Use

Military installations serve as major economic engines accounting for thousands of jobs and billions in economic activity

Need for State and local governments to play a strong role in supporting DoD missions¹

OEA may assist State and local governments to promote compatible civilian development to support the continued operational utility of military installations, and associated ranges, special use airspace, military operations areas, and military training routes

¹ Strengthening National Defense: Countering Encroachment through Military-Community Collaboration, National Academy of Public Administration, September 2009.

Defense Economic Adjustment Program

OEA manages on behalf of the Office of the Secretary of Defense

Program created to help state and local governments plan and carry out adjustment and diversification programs in response to major Defense actions, including:

• Base closures or realignments• Base expansions• DoD Personnel reductions• Industry/contractor reductions• Operational/training impacts, civilian encroachment upon a military

installation likely to impair continued operational utility of the installation

JLUS: Tool to Promote Compatible Development

• Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) planning process a tool to achieve compatibility between military operations and the neighboring civilian communities and foster open, continuous dialogue

• Initiated through Military Department nomination

• Cooperative, community-driven effort with the local installation based upon technical documents identifying military operations and mission footprint

• Represents a comprehensive assessment of compatible use factors followed by develop of a strategic plan with specific recommendations to promote compatible civilian development

• Responsible community leadership group established with whom DoD, the State, and private sector may work to effectively guide compatible development

• Goal is to protect and preserve military readiness and defense capability while supporting continued community economic development

Under these programs, the Military Departments develop technical information and maps indicating areas of military operations to support the JLUS planning process.

Compatibility Challenge Areas

Integrating Conservation as a Land Use Alternative

Community-driven JLUS planning process can support identification of parcels suitable for conservation partnering initiatives

Role of the Installation’s Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan

DoD Conservation Partnering Authority

• Congress authorized agreements in 2002 under 10 U.S.C. § 2684a

• Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration (REPI) www.repi.mil

• Army Compatible Use Buffer (ACUB) http://www.sustainability.army.mil/tools/programtools_acub.cfm

• Provides funding to Military Departments to enter into agreements with private conservation organizations, State and local governments

• Partners use DoD and other public and private sector funds to acquire property or property interests, i.e. conservation easements, from willing sellers to preserve critical buffers and habitat areas near installations and ranges

DoD Siting Clearinghouse: National Security and Renewable Energy

Siting of wind turbines and solar towers can pose electromagnetic interference and flight safety hazards

DoD Siting Clearinghouse created to facilitate siting of energy projects while protecting vital test, training and operational assets - http://www.acq.osd.mil/dodsc/

32 CFR Part 211 published to guide the energy siting review process

Development of state regulations and local development ordinances can further facilitate siting of energy projects

OEA Federal Funding Opportunity

Community Adjustment Planning Assistance in Response to Siting of Energy Projects to Support Department of Defense Mission Interests

State, tribal, and local governments can support effective collaboration, early engagement and dialogue between DoD and energy developers to ensure proposed energy projects may proceed without compromising the DoD missions.

April 3, 2015, Federal Register Publication – www.oea.gov

Notice includes proposal submission requirements and instructions, eligibility requirements, and selection criteria that will be used to evaluate proposals from eligible respondents

Eligible respondents are states, counties, municipalities, other political subdivisions of a state; special purpose units of a state or local government; other instrumentalities of a state or local government; and tribal nations.

• Establish Vision & Goals for Compatible Community Development

• Identify Planning Strategies and Priorities

• Implementation Plan with Priorities, Responsible Parties, Funding

• Establish Community Organization Structure

• Prioritize Actions• Develop Schedule to

Implement & Monitor• Identify & Seek

JLUS: Compatible Development and Range Operations

R-2508 and California Compatible Use Project

– R-2508 JLUS (May 2008) supported integrated outreach to local jurisdictions through the California Strategic Coordination Program:

• Work to Ensure Availability of SUA Information • Provide Installation Information to Jurisdictions• Create Planning Information Clearinghouse • Involve Military in General Plan Update Process

– CA Governor’s Office of Planning and Research assisted local governments to develop policies and land use decision making processes to protect and enhance military missions

– California Compatible Use Project focused on "white space" (areas subject to military training and operations located away from an immediate military installation).

– OEA funding for Land Use Planner to support engagement with local governments beneath “white space”, in coordination with the Military Departments.

– Deliverables include a Summary of Local Policies and Programs, an Order of Engagement, and a Final Report.

– OPR also developed model language for use by local jurisdictions; assessed implementation of statutory requirements to date; and worked with the Military Departments to conduct outreach to local governments.

JLUS: Compatible Development and Range Operations

White Sands Missile Range/Holloman AFB/Fort Bliss, NM and TX

– Pristine environment for baseline testing on weapons systems is critical. Civilian development can create electromagnetic radiation that may negatively impact the mission.

– New Mexico's Office of Military Base Planning and Support helped to form a Regional Planning Organization to undertake the regional JLUS.

– Memorandum of Agreement established a partnership among the six counties and three cities, with the three military installations as concurring parties.

– U.S. Forest Service (Lincoln National Forest) a JLUS Policy and Technical Committee member given the significant land holdings within the Study Area.

– Following Policy Committee acceptance of the JLUS (November 2014) an Implementation Committee was formed and a new Memorandum of Understanding to guide regional coordination to carry out JLUS strategies.

– JLUS Final Report includes a Compatibility Menu with 180 strategies including: build institutional capacity to manage regional air space; integrate compatibility into local government plans; collaborate on planning for energy development opportunities; and promote interagency consultation on land use.
