Fort Knox ICUZ Program

Abstract

The goal of the TRADOC ICUZ (Installation Compatible Use Zone) approach is to establish a way for the installation and local communities to jointly work together on noise and land use management problems in order to forestall future noise conflicts. This report provides an evaluation of the first application of the TRADOC ICUZ process, at Fort Knox, and relates lessons learned. The Fort Knox experience underlines the importance of good preparation prior to undertaking an ICUZ study: (1) understanding the ICUZ process and study requirements; (2) assembling a team of competent personnel from the appropriate elements who can dedicate their time, as needed, to the study; and (3) having complete information no noise projections and contours. The overall lesson learned, applicable to both planning and implementing and ICUZ study is communication. Both within the installation and between the installation and the public, communication is critical to achieving ICUZ goals.
