Additional follow‐up meetings were held with AZARNG representatives from the military
sites, Pinal County staff, and personnel from the ASLD. These meetings captured
additional information, other concerns and clarified input gathered during the initial
interviews.
Additional compatibility issues were identified through meetings with the JLUS Policy
Committee (PC) and Technical Working Group (TWG), at public workshops, and through
technical evaluation and related experience by the project consultant. Opportunities for
additional stakeholder input were provided through the project website.
The development of strategies to address compatibility issues (see Chapter 6:
Implementation Plan) was both directly and indirectly affected by the evaluation process.
Issue assessment included determining the severity of each issue’s impact(s) on both the
AZARNG’s missions and the nearby residents’ quality of life. In turn, the severity of
impact(s) helped determine the strategies that could be applied most effectively. The
severity of impacts was also used to help prioritize implementation. The Implementation
Plan identifies the responsible party(ies) tasked with completing each strategy and the
timeframe for completion.
When reviewing the assessment information that is provided in this chapter, it is
important to note the following:

This chapter provides technical background on the identified compatibility issues
that are relevant to the Pinal County JLUS. The intent is to provide appropriate
information for stakeholders to be sufficiently aware of and knowledgeable
about both issues and potential mitigation strategies to assess specific, viable
JLUS recommendations. The discussion is not designed or intended to be utilized
as an exhaustive technical evaluation of existing or future conditions within the
JLUS Project Area.
