Issue / Strategy
General Statutes Sections 143-151 and 153A-323(b).
Noise MCA – Includes all land off-installation within the Seymour
Johnson AFB 65 dB contour for aircraft noise, as identified by the
Seymour Johnson AFB Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ)
Report.
Safety MCA – Includes the Clear Zone (CZ) and Accident Potential
Zones (APZs) I and II associated with the Seymour Johnson AFB
runway.
Imaginary Surfaces MCA – Includes land under the imaginary surfaces
for the runway at Seymour Johnson AFB.
BASH MCA – Includes an area within 5 miles of the airport operational
area at Seymour Johnson AFB where the majority of bird strikes are
statistically likely to occur.
To assist in this effort, geographic information system (GIS) files of these
boundaries should be made available by the North Carolina Department of
Commerce Rural Economic Development Division following finalization of this
JLUS and approval of these MCAs. Updates to the data relative to noise
contours shall be provided by Seymour Johnson AFB as a result of significant
changes that support a public release of an updated AICUZ Study.
Where appropriate, the jurisdictions should incorporate the MCAOD and MCA
boundaries on their future land use and zoning maps and publish on their
websites for easy access by the public.
