1.0 Contractor Environmental Guide Overview

Environmental protection is an integral part of the Marine Corps mission in order to protect public health, preserve environmental quality, comply with regulatory requirements, and develop and strengthen relationships between the Marine Corps community and external stakeholders. The purpose of this Contractor Environmental Guide is to assist contractors working aboard Marine Corps Installations East’s (MCIEAST’s) Marine Corps Base (MCB) Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) New River in maintaining the mission by complying with Federal and State environmental laws and regulations, as well as the United States Marine Corps (USMC) and installation environmental policies. This guide is written in accordance with Marine Corps Order (MCO) 5090.2 and designed to answer many of the environmental questions that arise, as well as to provide pertinent information on environmental topics and training requirements.

Note: This document should be used only as a guide to environmental issues contractors may face while working aboard MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River. It is expected that contractors will work closely with the Environmental Management Division (EMD) at MCB Camp Lejeune, the Installation and Environment Department (I&E) at MCAS New River, and Contract Representatives regarding environmental management issues, concerns, and/or questions. Should the need arise, this guide provides contractors with EMD, I&E, and emergency response points of contact (POC). All initial inquiries should be directed to the Resident Officer in Charge of Construction (ROICC) or Contract Representative, who will either direct the contractor or contact the appropriate environmental office if additional clarification regarding an environmental issue is necessary. Contact the ROICC or Contract Representative with any questions.

Note: It is very important to note that this guide is designed to provide requirements specific to MCB Camp Lejeune-issued contracts. It is the contractor’s responsibility to know and comply with all Federal, State, and local regulations. MCB Camp Lejeune environmental personnel will assist contractors with compliance issues; however, the primary burden of regulatory identification, familiarity, and compliance lies with the contractor. This training does not replace any required regulatory environmental training or certification as per contract requirements. All required environmental training should be completed prior to working at MCIEAST installations.

Note: It is the contractor’s responsibility to review the project-specific contract and specifications.

Additional environmental requirements, submissions, and/or meetings not documented in this guide may be required.

1.1 Key Definitions and Concepts

The following key definitions and concepts are used throughout this guide. Consult the ROICC or Contract Representative with any questions about these definitions or concepts, who will contact the appropriate environmental office for clarification, as necessary.

1.1.1 Key Definitions

• Environment. Surroundings, to include all surface water, groundwater, drinking water supply, land surface or subsurface area, or ambient air within the United States or under the jurisdiction of the United States, including manmade structures, indoor air environments, natural resources, and archeological and cultural resources.

• Environmental Management Division. MCB Camp Lejeune’s division responsible for environmental issues and compliance at MCB Camp Lejeune.

Page 1-2 September 2023

• Installation and Environment Department. MCAS New River’s department responsible for environmental issues and compliance at MCAS New River.

• Environmental Management System (EMS). A systematic approach for integrating environmental considerations and accountability into day-to-day decision-making and long-term planning processes across all missions, practices, and functions. The EMS institutionalizes processes for continual environmental improvement and reducing risks to mission through ongoing planning, review, and preventive or corrective action.

1.1.2 Key Concepts

• Environmental Requirement. A defined standard pertaining to environmental compliance, pollution prevention (P2), or natural/cultural resources, subject to uniform application.

Environmental requirements may be in the form of a law, regulation, Executive Order (EO), policy, ordinance, permit, Base Order (BO), or other form that prescribes a standard.

• Executive Order. Legally binding orders given by the President, as head of the Executive Branch, to direct Federal agencies and officials in their execution of congressionally established laws or policies.

• MCB Camp Lejeune. Throughout this document, MCB Camp Lejeune includes all real property and associated outlying areas.

• Marine Corps Order. A directive of continuing authority or information, meant to be a permanent reference, and requiring continuing action issued by Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC). In accordance with MCO 5215.1K (10 May 2007), all MCOs shall, where applicable: establish, describe, or change existing policy, programs and major activities, and organizations; define missions; assign responsibilities; issue procedural guidance; and be written in standardized format.

• Resident Officer In Charge of Construction. The ROICC administers construction contracts and is the contractor’s first line of contact with the government.

• Regulatory Requirements. Government (including Federal, States, and local) environmental regulations implemented by environmental statutes. Federal regulations often establish minimum standards for State and local governments’ implementing programs.

• Statutory Requirements. Federal environmental statutes are laws that generally require compliance by U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) installations.

1.2 Installation Background

MCB Camp Lejeune was established in 1941 in Onslow County, along the southern coast of North Carolina (NC). MCB Camp Lejeune is just south of MCAS New River. MCB Camp Lejeune takes advantage of 156,000 acres and 11 miles of beach capable of supporting amphibious operations, 32 gun positions, 48 tactical landing zones, three state-of-the-art training facilities, and 80 live fire ranges for its training mission.

The primary function of MCB Camp Lejeune is national defense, providing a home installation for the II Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF), 2nd Marine Division, 2nd Force Service Support Group, and other combat units and support commands. MCB Camp Lejeune’s mission is to maintain combat-ready units for expeditionary deployment. MCB Camp Lejeune maintains and utilizes supply warehouses, maintenance shops, hazardous material storage, non-hazardous and hazardous waste storage, bulk fuel storage and transfer facilities, fleet parking, housing areas, recreational areas, two golf courses, and a marina.

Page 1-3 September 2023

MCAS New River is the principal USMC helicopter operating location on the East Coast and supports aircrew training in the CH-53 helicopter. It is also the evaluation and prospective bed-down site for the V- 22 Osprey. The mission of MCAS New River is to provide the necessary support for its Marine Aircraft Group (MAG) tenant units, MAG-26 and MAG-29.

1.2.1 Environmental Management Division and Installation and Environment Department

MCB Camp Lejeune’s EMD, within the GF Department, is responsible for all natural resource and environmental matters aboard the installation. EMD works closely with activities at MCB Camp Lejeune, educating and training personnel to comply with environmental laws while accomplishing the military mission.

The I&E Department at MCAS New River works closely with the EMD on environmental compliance and protection matters. Due to various joint operations, MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River participate together in one EMS. See Figures 1-1 and 1-2 below for organization charts of EMD and I&E.

Figure 1-1: Environmental Management Division (MCB Camp Lejeune) Organization Chart

Page 1-4 September 2023

Figure 1-2: Installation and Environment Department (MCAS New River) Organization Chart

1.2.2 Expectations

Contractors aboard the installation exhibiting commitment to strict compliance with environmental laws and regulations assist MCB Camp Lejeune in providing the best possible training facilities for today’s Marines and Sailors, while honoring our environmental responsibilities and objectives. Violation of environmental laws may result in severe civil or criminal penalties and fines.

1.3 Overview of Requirements

Contractors operating aboard MCB Lejeune and MCAS New River must be aware of and adhere to all applicable environmental regulations and requirements, which include but may not be limited to:

1.3.1 Contractor Environmental Guide

This guide consists of the following information:

• MCB Camp Lejeune Contractor Environmental Guide o EMS overview and requirements o Environmental program-specific requirements

• MCB Camp Lejeune General EMS and Environmental Awareness Training for Contractors and Vendors

• Signature Page

Prior to beginning work onsite, or within 30 days of beginning work onsite, all contractors and their employees performing work aboard MCB Camp Lejeune must review these materials and complete EMS and General Environmental Awareness training. This guide summarizes the EMS and environmental programs at MCB Camp Lejeune, as well as key requirements associated with the various environmental issues contractors may encounter while performing work aboard the installation. Contractors are expected to work with their ROICC or Contract Representatives and EMD/I&E when environmental concerns or issues arise.

1.3.2 Environmental and EMS Training

In accordance with DoD instructions and MCOs, EMD has implemented a Comprehensive Environmental Training and Education Program (CETEP). The goal of the CETEP is to ensure that appropriate environmental instruction and related information are provided to all levels of the Marine Corps in the most effective and efficient manner to achieve full compliance with all applicable environmental training requirements. A major component of the CETEP is to provide general environmental awareness training to all individuals associated with the installation, including contractors.

In addition to CETEP requirements, MCB Camp Lejeune has implemented an installation-wide EMS. The EMS highlights the fact that the authority and principal responsibility for controlling environmental impacts belong to those commands, units, offices, and personnel (including contractors) whose activities have the potential to impact the environment.

All contractors are required to receive both EMS and general environmental awareness training at the level necessary for their job function within the Environmental Compliance Assessment, Training, and Tracking System (ECATTS).

As such, contractors working aboard MCB Camp Lejeune will do the following:

• Conduct job responsibilities in compliance with environmental regulations and in conformance with EMS requirements.

• Complete all applicable environmental training and maintain associated records as per contract requirements.

• Complete EMS and general environmental awareness training and be aware of and understand the MCB Camp Lejeune Environmental Policy.

• Contact their ROICC or Contract Representative immediately regarding environmental and/or EMS issues.

Prior to beginning work onsite or within 30 days, all contractors must sign and date the signature page and return it to the installation Contract Representative. Anyone who works on a contract at any point during the contract period must receive this information and training.

2.0 Environmental Management System

MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River jointly operate an EMS, which provides a systematic way of continually implementing environmental requirements and evaluating performance. The EMS is founded on the principles of MCB Camp Lejeune’s Environmental Policy, which is endorsed by the Commanding General (CG). Three key principles of the Environmental Policy are to:

• Comply with relevant environmental laws and regulations;

• Prevent pollution; and

• Continually improve the EMS.

The EMS promotes sustained mission readiness through actively identifying and implementing opportunities for efficient resource use. The USMC implements EMS at all levels to continually improve environmental compliance programs and meet evolving EOs and DoD requirements for mission sustainability. The EMS highlights the fact that the authority and principal responsibility for controlling environmental impacts belong to those commands, units, offices, and personnel (including contractors and vendors) whose activities have the potential to impact the environment. Contact the ROICC or Contract Representative with any questions.
