C-1.6
Recommendation 6. Railroad Location. Avoid sites for inhabited
buildings that are close to railroads. Where railroads are in the vicinity of existing
buildings, provide standoff distances between the railroad and any inhabited buildings
based on the standoff distances and explosive weight associated with controlled
perimeters in Table B-1. Where those standoff distances are not available, and since
moving existing railroads may be difficult and prohibitively expensive, ensure that there
are procedures in place to prohibit trains from stopping in the vicinity of inhabited
buildings.
C-1.7
Recommendation 7. Access Control for Family Housing. For new
family housing areas, provide space for controlling access at the perimeter of the
housing area so that a controlled perimeter can be established there if the need arises
in the future.
C-1.8
Recommendation 8. Standoff for Family Housing. For new family
housing construction, maintain a standoff distance of 25 meters (82 feet) from
installation perimeters and roads, streets, or highways external to housing areas.
C-1.9
Recommendation 9. Minimize Secondary Debris. To reduce the
hazard of flying debris in the event of an explosion, eliminate unrevetted barriers and
site furnishings in the vicinity of inhabited structures that are accessible to vehicle traffic.
Revet exposed barriers and site furnishings near inhabited buildings with a minimum of
1 meter (3 feet) of soil or equivalent alternative techniques to prevent fragmentation
hazards associated with destruction of the barriers in the event of an explosion.
C-1.10
Recommendation 10. Building Separation. This recommendation
applies to new buildings and is established to minimize the possibility that an attack on
one building causes injuries or fatalities in adjacent buildings. The separation distance
is predicated on the potential use of indirect fire weapons such as those containing
explosives equivalent to explosive weight III in Table D-1.
C-1.10.1
Primary Gathering Buildings, Billeting, and High Occupancy Family
Housing. For all new billeting, high occupancy family housing, and primary gathering
buildings, ensure that all adjacent inhabited buildings are separated from those
buildings by at least 10 meters. Where it is necessary to encroach on those building
separations, analyze the buildings and provide hardened building components as
necessary to mitigate the effects of the indirect fire weapons equivalent to those
identified as explosive weight III in Table D-1 to the low level of protection. Levels of
protection are described in Table 2-1 and in UFC 4-020-01. The indirect fire weapon
should be assumed to detonate at a distance from the target building of one-half of the
separation distance.
C-1.10.2
Other Inhabited Buildings. There are no minimum separation distances
recommended for antiterrorism purposes for inhabited buildings other than billeting, high
occupancy family housing, and primary gathering buildings.

additional measures, if implemented, will significantly enhance building occupants'
