1 Army Compatible Use Buffers (ACUB) Program Region IV DoD/EPA/States Environmental Conference Janmichael Graine 29 June 2005 Janmichael Graine / SFIM-AEC-TSR / / DSN / janmichael.graine@us.army.mil 1 of 26 24JUN2005

2 Agenda Encroachment problem Army Compatible Use Buffer (ACUB) program Authorities and program intent ACUB example Ft. Bragg Janmichael Graine / SFIM-AEC-TSR / / DSN / janmichael.graine@us.army.mil 2 of 26 24JUN2005

3 Military lands become refuges of biodiversity California Gnatchatcher 51,000 acres critical habitat Los Angeles Cam p P endleto n 13,000 acres critical habitat Miles San Diego fairy shrimp San Diego Janmichael Graine / SFIM-AEC-TSR / / DSN / janmichael.graine@us.army.mil 3 of 26 24JUN2005

4 Firing Ranges Ft. Bragg, NC Installation Boundary Suburban Sprawl Janmichael Graine / SFIM-AEC-TSR / / DSN / janmichael.graine@us.army.mil 4 of 26 24JUN2005

5 Urban Growth at Fort Carson Janmichael Graine / SFIM-AEC-TSR / / DSN / janmichael.graine@us.army.mil 5 of 26 24JUN2005

6 Impact of Encroachment Installations impact neighbors Noise Smoke / dust Neighbors impact installations Complaints Light pollution (night ops) Training Restrictions (type, timing, and location) Habitat loss (increased conservation burden) Janmichael Graine / SFIM-AEC-TSR / / DSN / janmichael.graine@us.army.mil 6 of 26 24JUN2005

7 Solution Purchase the lands surrounding military installations Problem Requires congressional authorization (10 U.S.C and 2662) Expensive Janmichael Graine / SFIM-AEC-TSR / / DSN / janmichael.graine@us.army.mil 7 of 26 24JUN2005

8 Another Solution Army Compatible Use Buffers Cooperative agreement between military and partner (NGO, State or Local Gov) Land purchased from willing sellers by partner Military and partner cost share purchase Partner officially holds land title or easement Partner manages land Military may use land for light training and/or to meet ESA responsibility Janmichael Graine / SFIM-AEC-TSR / / DSN / janmichael.graine@us.army.mil 8 of 26 24JUN2005

9 ACUB Authorities Authority Codified at 10 USC 2684a Agreements to limit encroachments and other constraints on military training, testing, and operations Guidance Memorandum 19 May 2003 Army Range and Training Land Acquisitions and Army Compatible Use Buffers Army Publication 11 Feb 2004 Army Range and Training Lands Strategy Janmichael Graine / SFIM-AEC-TSR / / DSN / janmichael.graine@us.army.mil 9 of 26 24JUN2005

10 Objectives met through ACUB Prevent boundary development Increase available maneuver space Reduce training restrictions Meet ESA recovery responsibility Protect current and future T & E species listings Reduce Army s time and financial investment in natural resource management Janmichael Graine / SFIM-AEC-TSR / / DSN / janmichael.graine@us.army.mil 10 of 26 24JUN2005

11 Fort Bragg: an example of successful ACUB implementation Janmichael Graine / SFIM-AEC-TSR / / DSN / janmichael.graine@us.army.mil 11 of 26 24JUN2005

12 Ft Bragg Background 1991 USFWS Jeopardy Opinion & Range Closure due to RCW a federally protected Endangered Species Sandhills dialogue with Army and USFWS AEC Establishes Agreements with TNC & USFWS PRIVATE LANDS INITIATIVE BORN Sandhills Conservation Partnership formally established Defense Authorization Act encourages Ft. Bragg Approach to encroachment prevention. Janmichael Graine / SFIM-AEC-TSR / / DSN / janmichael.graine@us.army.mil 12 of 26 24JUN2005

13 Ft Bragg Encroachment Issues Training restrictions due to Red Cockaded Woodpecker (RCW) RCW habitat degradation on private lands increases Ft Bragg recovery responsibility. Inadequate land size to recover RCW. Rapid incompatible growth has resulted in high density communities immediately adjacent to training areas. Janmichael Graine / SFIM-AEC-TSR / / DSN / janmichael.graine@us.army.mil 13 of 26 24JUN2005
