To enable the Army, Navy,
Air Force, and Marine Corps to participate in the development and
implementation of "Joint Land Use Studies." The studies will be used
to identify land use measures needed to ensure that further public and private
development around a military installation is compatible with both the mission
of the military installation and the plans of the jurisdiction(s) responsible
for the land surrounding the installation. The grantee(s) or participating
government(s) are expected to adopt and implement the study recommendations.
TYPES OF ASSISTANCE:
Project Grants. Place Cursor Here for Definition
USES AND USE RESTRICTIONS:
DoD funding may be used to develop Joint Land Use Studies to recommend
measures that need to be taken to prevent public or private development that
could impair the military operations of an installation. Implementation is the
responsibility of the participating government(s). Funding is provided for the
development of the studies, usually through the services of a contractor.
Implementation costs are not eligible for DoD funding.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS:
Applicant Eligibility: An applicant may be eligible for DoD funding
for Joint Land Use Studies if the Secretary of Defense determines that
encroachment of the civilian community on a military installation is likely to
impair the continued operation utility of the military installation. Planning
activities considered eligible for study are: (a) The impacts of community
development on the installation; and, (b) the impacts of planned changes in the
activities of the installation on the surrounding community(ies). Joint Land Use
Studies will be initiated by DoD and accomplished by the grantee in cooperation
with the appropriate Military Department. Information such as installation
master plans, noise contours and accident potential zones, which may be
necessary for the development of the Joint Land Use Study, normally will be
available from the Military Department.
Beneficiary Eligibility: State and local governments, regional
organizations composed of State and local governments, or Federally Recognized
Indian Tribes.
Credentials/Documentation: Documentation that the affected
government(s) will cooperate and participate in the development and

further encroachment on the military installation.
