CHAPTER 1

GENERAL

1-1. PURPOSE. This regulation prescribes policies and procedures for conservation, protection, and enhancement of the environment at Fort Lewis, its sub-installations and supported facilities.

1-2. APPLICABILITY.

a. This regulation applies to all Active Duty, Reserve and National Guard Component commands and units (including tenant organizations), civilian agencies, contractors, and individuals (military and civilian) living, visiting or working at Fort Lewis. Except where specifically stated, the term “Fort Lewis” includes the Fort Lewis military installation and its sub-installation Yakima Training Center.

b. Some requirements in this regulation prescribe coordination, reports, and/or procedures that are specific to agencies and organizations located on the Fort Lewis installation. Agencies and organizations located on the sub-installations will contact the sub-installation environmental office for the requirement(s) applicable on the sub-installation.

1-5. PRECEDENCE OF FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND

REGULATIONS. This regulation implements the requirements of federal, state, regional and local environmental laws and regulations. Where there is a conflict between a requirement of this regulation and a current requirement of an applicable federal, state, regional or local law or regulation, the latter will have precedence for compliance.

1-6. PUNITIVE ACTION. Violation of many of the requirements in this regulation is punishable under federal, state, or local law. Military personnel are also subject to punitive action under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and civilian personnel to disciplinary action within civilian personnel policies.

1-7. FEDERAL FACILITY ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE.

a. Presidential Executive Order 12088, Federal Compliance with Pollution Standards, mandates federal agency compliance with federal, state, and local environmental requirements, including pollution control requirements. Violators can be held personally liable for cleanup costs and civil/criminal penalties; such persons include not only the actual individual who caused the violation, but also the supervisory (military and civilian) personnel who allowed the violation to occur and failed to take appropriate action to prevent or correct the violation.

b. The Federal Facility Compliance Act (FFCA) subjects Fort Lewis' environmental programs to greater scrutiny by regulators, legislators and possibly the general public.

Specifically, the FFCA:

(1) Amends the solid and hazardous waste provisions of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). It waives previous federal sovereign immunity under RCRA and allows state, county and local governments to impose substantive and procedural requirements; require payment of service charges, including fees; and impose fines and penalties on federal facilities for violations of their solid and hazardous waste laws.

(2) Requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to inspect all federal facilities annually. In addition, the states may conduct their own independent inspections. The cost for both inspections could be borne by the federal agency being inspected.

c. Presidential Executive Order 13101, Greening the Government Through Waste Prevention, Recycling and Federal Acquisition (also known as Affirmative Procurement Program), directs that Federal facilities comply with the buy-recycled program established under section 6002 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).

RCRA inspections or multi-media regulatory compliance inspections where RCRA compliance is a component of the inspection will include, where appropriate, evaluation of facility compliance with section 6002 of RCRA and any implementing guidance.

1 November 2004 FL Reg 200-1

1-3

d. Presidential Executive Order 13148, Greening the Government Through Leadership in Environmental Management, directs that federal agencies ensure all necessary actions are taken to integrate environmental accountability into day-to-day decision making and long-term planning processes, across agency missions, activities, and functions.

1-8. FORT LEWIS ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.

a. Executive Order 13148 requires all federal agencies to implement an Environmental Management System (EMS).

b. A Secretary of the Army memo requires all installation to adopt the internationally recognized management system standard ISO 14001, as a goal.

c. The EMS is a formal, documented approach to organize, plan, implement and integrate installation sustainability, while emphasizing environmental stewardship, compliance, pollution prevention, and continual improvement.

d. All organizations (military, civilian, contractor, tenant) operating on Fort Lewis will adopt, as directed, the Fort Lewis Environmental Management System as implemented IAW the ISO 14001 Standard.

e. Actively supports and integrates the twelve goals of the Installation Sustainability Program into day-to-day business processes.

1-9. FORT LEWIS ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY. The following statements define the broad Fort Lewis policy and are applicable to users of this regulation:

a. Comply with all applicable environmental policy, laws and regulations.

b. Continually assess activities, products, and services to determine their effect on the environment. Identify the significant environmental impacts and ensure that they are considered when establishing objectives and targets in our environmental management programs.

c. Identify potential sources of pollution and meet or exceed Army goals for prevention of pollution.

d. Strive to fully integrate relevant environmental requirements into our standard work practices and procedures so environmental awareness and compliance are a routine part of the way we conduct business.

b. ENRD will coordinate inspections and site visits of agencies having proper authority to evaluate or monitor compliance with environmental permits or regulations.

Visitors will be accompanied by a member of ENRD or the Fort Lewis staff agency point of contact.

1-11. PERMITS. Fort Lewis must obtain recurring and one-time permits to meet environmental compliance requirements established by federal, state, regional or local regulatory agencies. All permit applications for the Fort Lewis installation will be processed through ENRD. Sub-installations and Reserve Centers will be responsible for preparing applications for required permits at the sub-installation/reserve center.

Assistance is available from ENRD in preparing and reviewing permit applications.

Copies of all final permits will be furnished to ENRD for filling and monitoring.

1-12. EDUCATION AND TRAINING. Major subordinate commanders and staff directors must ensure that soldiers and civilians performing duties, which may affect environmental compliance or have the potential to cause environmental damage, have adequate knowledge and skills to perform their mission in an environmentally sound manner.

a. Pollution prevention training requirements and responsibilities are in appendix D of this regulation.

b. Training requirements for individuals performing functions associated with the management of hazardous material/hazardous waste (HM/HW) and responsibilities for conducting the training are stated in Appendix J of this regulation.

1-13. ENVIRONMENTAL AUDITS. Fort Lewis will undergo both external and internal multimedia environmental audits in accordance with DA and IMA policy and the Installation Environmental Management System (EMS) ISO 14001 International Environmental Standard. External audits are conducted under the Environmental Performance Assessment System (EPAS) program. Internal audits are conducted under the EPAS Program, Installation Status Report Part II (Environment), and the Installation EMS. Frequency of audits is determined by the appropriate governing directive. Public Works will also receive external audits by a third party registrar of its Environmental Management System, as required, to ensure continued certification in accordance with the Environmental International Standard ISO 14001.
