The selection and inclusion of strategies is directly and indirectly affected by
the evaluation of issues. Issues were prioritized based on timeframes and
used to determine the timeframe for initiating strategies by the primary and
partner agencies.
When reviewing the assessment information in this chapter, it is important to
note the following:
This chapter provides a technical background on the factors and issues
discussed based on available information. The intent is to provide an
adequate context for awareness, education, and development of JLUS
recommendations. It is not designed or intended to be utilized as an
exhaustive technical evaluation of existing or future conditions within
the Study Area.
Of the 25 compatibility factors considered, 11 were determined to be
inapplicable to this JLUS:
Methodology and Evaluation
The methodology for the Seymour Johnson Air Force Base (AFB) and Dare
County Range (DCR) JLUS consisted of a comprehensive and inclusive
discovery process to identify key stakeholder issues associated with the
compatibility factors. At the initial Policy Committee (PC) and Technical
Advisory Committee (TAC) workshops and public meetings, stakeholders
were asked to identify the location and type of issue in conjunction with
compatibility factors they thought existed today or could occur in the future.
As a part of the evaluation phase, the PC, TAC, and the public examined and
prioritized the extent of existing and potential future compatibility issues that
could impact land within or near the Study Area. Other factors and
associated issues were analyzed based on available information and similarity
with other community JLUS experiences around the country.

Each issue has an accompanying set of existing tools. These existing
tools are meant to illustrate what is currently in place that can be used
to mitigate the compatibility issue. Though existing tools may not
always directly aid compatibility, they provide a foundation to help
create strategies for future implementation.
