Of the 25 compatibility factors considered, seven were determined to be
inapplicable to this JLUS based on stakeholder / public input and the JLUS team.
No issues were identified for these seven factors . The inapplicable factors are:
Air Quality
Anti‐Terrorism / Force Protection
Changing Climate
Frequency Spectrum Capacity
Housing Availability
Scarce Natural Resources
Vibration
Although there were no issues identified relating to these seven factors, they are defined
and briefly summarized in this section in order to represent the actual analysis that was
conducted, which included all 25.
Air Quality
Air quality is defined by numerous components that are regulated at the federal and
state level. For compatibility, the primary concerns are pollutants that limit visibility, such
as particulates, ozone, etc. and potential non‐attainment of air quality standards limiting
future operations at the installation or in the area.
Anti-Terrorism / Force Protection
Anti‐Terrorism / Force Protection (AT / FP) relates to personnel, facilities, and
information on an installation and their safety from outside threats. Security concerns
such as trespassing can present immediate compatibility concerns for installations. The
Department of Defense (DoD) AT / FP standards require all DoD components to adhere to
design / planning criteria and minimum construction standards to mitigate vulnerabilities
and threats to an installation and its occupants. Important aspects of these criteria and
standards include access control and clearance zones around installation perimeters to
maintain sight‐lines. Due to current global conditions and recent events, military
installations are required to implement more restrictive standards to address AT / FP
concerns. These measures include increased security checks and / or the creation of
physical barriers at entry points (e.g., gates, spike barriers / tire shredders).
