Environmental Assessment for Perimeter Security Lighting at Fort MacArthur, California
Abstract
In order to meet Anti-Terrorism Force Protection (ATFP) requirements, Los Angeles Air Force Base proposes to install Photo-Voltaic (PV) lighting systems around the perimeter of Military Family Housing (MFH) areas associated with the base- Fort MacArthur, Pacific Crest and Pacific Heights. The purpose of the systems would be to provide security lighting around the perimeter of the MFH areas. The PV perimeter lighting system would include poles, PV panels, LED light fixtures and associated wire and conduits. The PV powered LED Lighting system would be designed to provide perimeter outdoor lighting to complement and enhance existing lighting. The proposed PV lighting system would allow each PV panel and its associated LED fixtures to be independent stand-alone units. The PV lighting infrastructure would be highly redundant, reliable and secure. The PV Security Lighting System would consist of approximately 169 PV powered single and double LED fixtures to be installed on existing metal fence or masonry wall. The fixtures would be approximately thirty feet apart and eight feet above ground level. Approximately 123 PV panels would be positioned throughout the perimeter of the MPH areas, on metal wood and composite poles. The poles would range from eight to twenty-five feet high, depending on specific sighting requirements. PV panels would be spaced up to two-hundred feet apart. Associated conduits and wiring between PV panels and LED fixtures would be self contained.
