The Navy strives to balance operations and training requirements with community development in the vicinity of Navy land, sea, and air assets. These activities may include the development of renewable energy projects, transmission lines, residential/commercial structures, and other forms of development or alterations of land, air, and sea space.

To avoid potential mission impacts, the Navy collaborates with federal regulatory agencies, state and local governments, and the business community to communicate concerns early in the planning and development process and achieve compatible solutions.

If you are considering developing a project in the vicinity of any Navy installation, please contact the base commanding officer or a base community planner to ensure compatibility.

If you are considering developing a wind energy project near one of the following locations, please notify the point of contact listed on the linked page (if available) or contact the DOD Siting Clearinghouse at osd.dod-siting-clearinghouse@mail.mil.
