FGS-P Executive Summary

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

DoDI 4715.05, Environmental Compliance at Installations Outside the United States, establishes policy and assigns responsibilities for managing environmental compliance to protect human health and safety outside the United States (US) on installations under DoD control. The DoDI designates Lead Environmental Components (LECs) for specific countries and geographic locations outside the US and tasks them to perform various duties. Those duties include establishing and maintaining specific environmental compliance requirements all DoD installations located in the LEC's assigned country must obey. DoDI 4715.05 designates the Secretary of the Air Force (SECAF) as the LEC for Portugal (P) and authorizes SECAF to delegate LEC responsibilities through the chain-of-command to an appropriate general-level commander. At the present time, SECAF has delegated LEC responsibilities through the chain-of-command to the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Installations, Environment, and Energy (SECAF/IEE). In accordance with Air Force Instruction 32-7091, Environmental Management Outside the United States, the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) provides support to SAF/IEE in the performance of LEC responsibilities, to include updating Final Governing Standards (FGS).

FGS for a country are environmental compliance standards that include substantive provisions (e.g., technical limits on air emissions or wastewater discharges) and specific management practices (e.g., recordkeeping and reporting requirements) that apply to all DoD installations located in that country unless an exemption or exception applies. In accordance with DoDI 4715.05, FGS do not address remediation of environmental contamination from DoD activities and do not address environmental project planning requirements (i.e., environmental impacts analysis process). Because they apply to all DoD installations in Portugal (P), the FGS-P updates described below were developed based on teamwork, cooperation, and consultation among DoD Service Component representatives within the US European Command (USEUCOM) area of responsibility and the EUCOM Theater Environmental Coordinator.

The 2017 FGS-P update was a full revision of the document. All chapters are current with a legislative cutoff date of 30 September 2016.

FGS-P – Chapter 1 Overview

1-1 November 2017

CHAPTER 1

OVERVIEW

C1.1. PURPOSE

The primary purpose of these Final Governing Standards (FGS) is to provide specific standards for environmental compliance at United States (US) Department of Defense (DoD) installations in Portugal. This document implements DoD Instruction (DoDI) 4715.05, " Environmental Compliance at Installations Outside the United States," and is based on DoD 4715.05-G, “Overseas Environmental Baseline Guidance Document” (OEBGD).

C1.2. APPLICABILITY

C1.2.1. These FGS provide environmental compliance standards for actions for DoD Components at installations in Portugal, which comprises the territory on the European mainland that is historically defined as Portuguese, and the Azores and Madeira archipelagos.

C1.2.2. Activities and installations shall notify the Lead Environmental Component (LEC) of any directly conflicting DoD component policies or directives they discover before imposing criteria more protective than provided in these FGS.

C1.2.3. DoD components shall not enter into agreements with European Union (EU) or Portuguese authorities at any level that establish criteria for compliance with environmental criteria different than provided in these FGS without the prior written approval of the LEC.

C1.3. EXEMPTIONS. These standards do not apply to:

C1.3.1. DoD installations that do not have more than de minimis potential to affect the natural environment (e.g., offices whose operations are primarily administrative, including defense attaché offices, security assistance offices, foreign buying offices or other similar organizations), or activities for which the DoD Components exercise control over only on a temporary or intermittent basis;

C1.3.2. Leased, joint-use and similar facilities to the extent that DoD does not control the instrumentality or operation that a criterion seeks to regulate;

C1.3.3. Operations of US military vessels or the operations of US military aircraft, or off-installation operational and training deployments. Off-installation operational deployments include cases of hostilities, contingency operations in hazardous areas, and when US forces are operating as part of a multi-national force not under full control of the US. Such excepted operations and deployments shall be conducted in accordance with applicable international agreements, other DoD Directives (DoDDs) and DoDIs, and environmental annexes incorporated into operation plans or operation orders. However, these FGS do apply to support functions for US military vessels and US military aircraft provided by the DoD Components, including management or disposal of off-loaded waste or material;

1-2 November 2017

C1.3.4. Facilities and activities associated with the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program, which are covered under Executive Order (EO) 12344, "Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program," and conducted pursuant to 42 United States Code (USC) 7158;

C1.3.5. The determination or conduct of remediation to correct environmental problems caused by DoD’s past activities; and

C1.3.6. Environmental analyses conducted under EO 12114 "Environmental Effects Abroad of Major Federal Actions."

C1.4. DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this document, unless otherwise indicated, the following definitions apply:

C1.4.1. Appropriate DoD Medical Authority. The medical professional designated by the in-theater Component Commander to be responsible for resolving medical issues at the Component’s installations.

C1.4.2. Existing Facility. Any facility/building, source or project in use or under construction before 1 October 1994, unless it is subsequently substantially modified.

C1.4.3. Headquarters, Azores Air Zone (HAAZ) Commander. The HAAZ Commander is the formal Portuguese representative of the installation located at Lajes Field, Azores, pursuant to bilateral agreement and serves as the liaison with national authorities and the contact with local authorities and local Portuguese military and civil entities.

C1.4.4. Installation. For the purposes of this document, any base, camp, post, station, yard, center, or other activity (e.g., a geographically separated unit) under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of a Military Department that is located within Portugal or any territory, commonwealth, or possession of Portugal.

C1.4.5. New Facility. Any facility/building, source or project with a construction start date on, or after, 1 October 1994, or a pre-existing facility that has been substantially modified since 1 October 1994.

C1.4.6. Substantial Modification. Any modification to a facility/building the cost of which exceeds $1 million, regardless of funding source.

C1.5. PERMITS AND REPORTING

C1.5.1. Formal interaction or interaction of common (Portuguese and US) interest with Portuguese authorities shall be conducted with the cognizance of the HAAZ Commander.

C1.5.2. The DoD shall not directly obtain permits/authorizations from Portugal. If a permit or authorization is required for DoD activities as listed within these FGS, the DoD Component shall request the HAAZ Commander located at Lajes Field, Azores to obtain such permit/ authorization on their behalf. When the HAAZ Commander obtains a permit/authorization on

1-3 November 2017 behalf of a DoD Component and the permit/authorization requires a more protective standard than prescribed in the FGS, the standard in the permit/authorization shall be the compliance standard. However, if a permit/authorization allows a less protective standard, then the FGS will be the compliance standard unless a waiver is obtained. DoD Components will assist the HAAZ Commander with applying for permits/authorizations and providing reports and records or otherwise helping him with his liaison duties. If the HAAZ Commander is unable to obtain the necessary permit/authorization, contact the LEC for guidance.

C1.5.3. If the installation at issue does not appear to fall under the responsibility of any HAAZ Commander, the DoD installation shall request clarification from the LEC via the chain of command. The LEC will pursue having higher Portuguese military headquarters resolve representational responsibility, when necessary.

C1.5.4. If the installation requests the HAAZ Commander to obtain a required permit/authorization on their behalf and the HAAZ Commander does not obtain the permit/authorization, the DoD Component will notify the LEC via the chain of command. The LEC will determine if and when to pursue further permit/authorization discussions with higher Portuguese military headquarters. These FGS remain the compliance standards when the HAAZ Commander does not obtain a required permit/authorization for a DoD Component or activity.

C1.6. WEBSITE REFERENCES

C1.6.1. References to websites that are not controlled by the DoD are intended for information purposes, solely to facilitate compliance with existing standards in this document.

C1.6.2. Any other requirement, standard or criteria listed in the website shall not be incorporated by reference as a FGS. Reference to the website does not establish any obligation to comply with other requirements, standards, or criteria listed in the website.

C1.6.3. Referenced websites that are not under the control of the DoD may be changed at any time without notice to the DoD.

C1.7. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

C1.7.1. Where economically advantageous and consistent with mission requirements, pollution prevention shall be the preferred means for attaining compliance with these FGS.

C1.7.2. Laboratory analyses necessary to implement these FGS shall normally be conducted in a laboratory that has been certified by a US or Portuguese regulatory authority for the applicable test method. In the absence of a laboratory that has been so certified, laboratory analyses may also be conducted at a laboratory that has established reliable compliance with quality assurance standards for the applicable test method that are generally recognized by appropriate industry or scientific organizations.

1-4 November 2017

C1.7.3. DoD Components shall establish and implement an environmental audit program to ensure that overseas installations assess compliance with these FGS at least once every 3 years at all major installations.

C1.7.4. Unless otherwise specified, all record keeping requirements, including assessements, inspection records, logs, manifests, notices, forms, and formats, are described in accordance with paragraph C4.4.2 of DoD 8910.01-M, Volume 1, “DoD Information Collections Manual:

Procedures for DoD Internal Information Collections.”

C1.7.5. These standards do not create any rights or obligations enforceable against the US, the DoD, or any of its Components, nor does it create any standard of care or practice for individuals. Although this document refers to other DoDDs and DoDIs, it is intended only to coordinate the requirements of those directives as required to implement the policies found in DoD Instruction 4715.05. This document does not change other DoDDs or DoDIs or alter DoD policies.
