For Seymour Johnson AFB, the arcs established are
relatively small and only extend outside of the
installation boundary at the western end of the
installation. A small portion of land owned by the city
of Goldsboro lies within the ESQD arc, this land is
currently undeveloped.

Explosive Safety Quantity Distance Arcs
The Explosive Safety Quantity Distance (ESQD) arcs
are typically concentric arcs that provide a buffer
between ammunition storage and people or
structures. The size of the arc is determined by the
net explosive weight of the munitions being stored.
The ESQD arcs established at Seymour Johnson AFB
are illustrated on Figure 12. In cases where arcs
extend beyond the installation boundary, easements
are in place on the affected land to prevent residential
development from occurring there. These easements
are established to ensure the safety of the general
public.
