Compatible Siting of Energy Projects
Commercial development of energy projects may affect unique DoD activities and military readiness, especially when located near installations, ranges, or on lands beneath designated military training routes or special use airspace.
State, tribal, and local governments can support effective collaboration, early engagement and dialogue between DoD and energy developers.
Goal is to ensure energy projects may proceed without compromising DoD’s test, training, and military operations
DoD tools to promote compatible siting of energy projects
Siting Clearinghouse Mission Compatibility Evaluation Program Readiness and Environmental Protection (REPI) Integration
Program OEA’s Compatible Use/Joint Land Use Studies Program
OEA provides technical and financial assistance to state and local governments to undertake a Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) and carry out the recommendations.
JLUS is a community-driven planning effort between the Military and jurisdictions surrounding installations, and associated ranges, military training routes, and special use airspace to plan and carry out strategies promoting compatible civilian development.
Promotes open, continuous dialogue between the Military, surrounding jurisdictions, and states to support long-term sustainability and operability of military missions.
Military Department technical data describing the military missions and operations supports the study process
Serves as comprehensive strategic plan with specific implementation actions to address and prevent incompatible civilian development that could impair the operational utility of military missions
Development of state regulations and local development ordinances can further facilitate compatible siting of energy projects
JLUS: Tool to Promote Compatible Energy Development
