• Disclosure
• Noise Abatement
• Outreach

40
Who Has AICUZ Responsibility?

41
Attitude

• Be resourceful
• Must be willing to go up to the line without
  crossing it
• Must be persistent
• Must recognize there are two sides to every issue
• Win-Win

42
Planning

• The Law of Conservation of Military Bases

43
Axiom I

• Military bases do not operate in a vacuum but are
  subject to the influences of nearby political
  bodies. These bodies will follow the courses
  most expedient to their needs.

44
Axiom II

• Applying pressure to change the course of a
  political body in motion will create friction.
• The further a body deviates from the prescribed
  course, the greater the energy required to
  redirect that body.

45
Axiom III

• Urban encroachment will slow when a political
  body assumes your course is most expedient to its
  needs.

46
Planning continued

• Planners influence the decision makers
• Training
• Networking

• Correction factors
• Winter -5
• Quiet suburb 10, normal suburb 5, noisy urban
  - 5, very noisy urban - 10
• No prior noise experience 5, considerable exp.
  - 5, community aware noise source is necessary -

• Pure tones present 5
