1. Military Encroachment Challenges Seeking Compatible Energy Development Steve Sample DoD Siting Clearinghouse OASD/EI&E

2. Mission Compatibility Evaluation What We Review Radar/Wind Turbine Interference  Military “terminal area” air traffic control radars  “In-route” air traffic control radars (in support of the FAA)  Air defense long range surveillance radars  Ground-based military unique radars (ADAMS, ROTHR)  Airborne military radars (legacy & advanced weapon systems) Low-level Flight Obstructions  Military Training Routes  Restricted Areas  Special Use Airspace Glint/Glare  Solar power towers  Photovoltaic and hot water heating systems near airfields Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)  High Voltage Electric Power Lines 2

3. Mission Compatibility Evaluation Process: Three Stages of Engagement Formal ReviewInformal Review Service-Specific Efforts 3 Source: 32 CFR Part 200: see: http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/retrieveECFR?gp=1&SID=284108d7dca87a6bea95165fd1c1b0be&ty=HTML&h=L&r=PART&n=32y2.1.1.1.16http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/retrieveECFR?gp=1&SID=284108d7dca87a6bea95165fd1c1b0be&ty=HTML&h=L&r=PART&n=32y2.1.1.1.16

4. Service Early Engagement Refer to Service Programs and Guidance DoD Siting Clearinghouse is a resource Early engagement is best opportunity for influence Service-Specific Efforts

5. Informal Review Process Clearinghouse tasks to Services and COCOMs No objection or approval Identifies potentially-affected missions Provides developer with POC to investigate further

6. Formal Reviews Detailed in 2011 NDAA Section 358 Covers all projects filed with the FAA Requires DoD Senior Officer for objection How does DoD Object? DepSecDef sends a letter to SecTrans stating that the project presents and unacceptable impact to military readiness, after discussions with the proponent and a review of reasonable and affordable mitigations. Must send a report to HASC/SASC with 30 days.

7. Mitigation Response Teams Service receives project through FAA process Identifies potential concern SCH sets up an MRT, coordinates with FAA – Service(s) – OSD Functional (Testing or Training) – Proponent – Experts, as needed – DHS as cc An MRT performs the actions necessary to complete the Formal Review Process- no matter the outcome: Objection/ Approval/ Mitigation
