Camp Williams Implementation . The Camp Williams JLUS identified Lighting as an issue for the Camp relative to night training . There are eight jurisdictions surrounding Camp Williams in Eagle Mountain , Utah — two counties and six cities . The light , however , was coming from inside the base extending onto private property and vice versa . Therefore , the Implementation Plan identified the need to control light from the base and from the communities surrounding the base .
• Matrix is currently developing a Military Compatibility Ordinance for the cities and counties surrounding the Camp . The ordinance will include lighting controls , which will limit types of fixtures , placement of fixtures , lumens emitted , and other land uses and sources of lighting .
• Conversely to control the light coming from the base , the JLUS recommended to the Camp to install vegetative barriers at the fenceline and earth berms where practical to mitigate light trespass from the base . Additionally , the base will consider installing fullycutoff fixtures and fixtures that do not emit lumens in excess where light trespass will occur .
As stated earlier , the implementation is in progress and the ordinance is currently being developed ; therefore the eight jurisdictions have not adopted in military compatibility lighting controls as of today .
