What does the JLUS boundary mean and how was it drawn?
The JLUS boundary represents the area for which the team will collect data and look at possible impacts, both from the military and the community. The boundary is purposely drawn broadly to include all of the areas that could be affected by military operations. It is also drawn to follow easy-to-find features, such as roadways and section lines. The JLUS boundary includes the noise and accident potential zones based operations of the Charleston Air Force Base, but some areas within the study boundary are not inside a noise zone or accident potential zones. In addition to the area surrounding the AFB, the study team will also conduct an analysis development activity within a half-mile area surrounding the Naval Weapons Station.
