State of Oklahoma (Compatible Use)

Abstract

This project will help sustain the readiness and lethality of DoD personnel, assets, and operations by ensuring the proper siting of energy projects and tall structures throughout the State of Oklahoma. Currently, there is no statewide or regional collaboration and coordination with the military and other jurisdictions to help prevent the siting of energy projects and tall structures from adversely affecting DoD test, training, and military operations. As a result of the ongoing discussion between Oklahoma military installations, the State of Oklahoma, private developers, and landowners, several regional political partners identified the need to collaborate on compatibility planning regarding the location of tall structures and incompatible uses of land and the need to preserve and sustain the military readiness of military installations in the state of Oklahoma. This would include Altus Air Force Base, Fort Sill, Tulsa Air National Guard, and Tinker Air Force Base, Vance Air Force Base, Will Rogers Air National Guard as well as the military’s numerous other operating locations such as regional and municipal airports. This multi-regional group of jurisdictions and military installations have agreed to collaborate on a joint effort – the Oklahoma Military Airspace Compatibility Assessment Mapping Portal (OMACAMP) project.
