JB Langley-Eustis - MIR
Abstract
The intent of this project is directly related to recommendations from the Hampton-Langley Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) completed in August 2010 and the Hampton-Langley Air Force Base Joint Land Use Study Addendum completed in August 2018. These studies include recommendations to identify high priority corridors that are critical to maintaining accessibility and the mission at JBLE-Langley AFB (i.e., Transportation Action 21 – “Determine which roadways are designated as high priorities for JBLE-Langley”). The JLUS also recommends supplemental transportation actions that include collecting data, document access issues or constraints (i.e., as result of environmental conditions or man-made), and develop a plan that focuses resources on prioritized improvements and will provide the ability to sustain accessibility to/from JBLE-Langley AFB (i.e., Transportation Action 22 – “Establish a plan to maintain access of key corridors”, and Transportation Action 23 – “Use data collected to report traffic and access issues”) in the event of an emergency. Additionally, the 2018 JLUS Addendum builds upon the Resilient Hampton initiative, an ongoing effort that assesses the multiple forces of water, incorporates community principles and values, and recommends solutions driven by unique neighborhood characteristics. Multiple forces of water affect the City of Hampton and JBLE-Langley AFB. Those forces include storm surge, wave action, and high water levels associated with storms and low pressure weather systems; tidal action, the fluctuation of water levels between low and high tide; stormwater, water generated from rain and storms that can be difficult to infiltrate due to impervious surfaces, and can lead to runoff; and groundwater, the water that lies below the surface of ground, and which can impact the ability of the soil to infiltrate stormwater if the groundwater level is high. resources that serve the larger community. When these resources are constrained or impacted, it affects everyone – including military readiness which can have an adverse effect on the military mission.
