m. No loud, intermittent activities (i.e., blasting/artillery/live fire) can occur within 0.25-mile buffer of any active eagle nest during the breeding season (January 1 - September). Therefore, operations incorporating gunnery/ live fire must not encroach within the 0.25 nest buffer, and aviation operations must also stay at or above 1500 AGL.

n. Dismounted maneuvers, other land or water based military training, and/or recreation (e.g., hunting, hiking, camping, kayaking, canoeing, fishing) is prohibited within 330 feet of any active eagle nest during the breeding season (January 1 - September 30). If any eagle or nest is encountered, individuals must quietly leave the area.

o. Timber harvesting, clear cutting, tree cutting, or removal or overstory trees is prohibited within 330 feet of any active eagle nest at any time of the year. Tree cutting, timber harvesting, or other similar management actions may be authorized outside of the 330-foot nest management buffer during the non-breeding season (i.e., October - December) in coordination with Fort Drum’s Fish and Wildlife Management Office.

p. The POC for Fish and Wildlife can be reached at (315) 212-6397, Endangered Species/Bald Eagles at (315) 778-6348.

3-6. Cultural Resources

a. Federal law mandates that all cultural resources eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places must be protected. Cultural resources include but are not limited to historic buildings and structures, cemeteries, and historic and prehistoric archaeological sites.

Many areas on Fort Drum containing national register eligible cultural resources are marked with “OFF LIMITS by Order of the Commander” signs and/or reflective Seibert Stakes and will be avoided.

b. On Fort Drum, some national register eligible properties have been made available as historic area training assets. These areas are marked by signs that say, “Historic Area, Training Permitted, No Digging.” These areas are for surface use only, and paint munitions are forbidden.

c. With the exception of intact projectile points found on the ground surface, federal law prohibits artifact/relic collecting anywhere on Fort Drum. Collectors of intact projectile points are encouraged to report the find to the Cultural Resources office.

d. Willful damage to an archaeological site on Fort Drum is a violation of the Archaeological Resources Protection Act and carries criminal penalties.

e. All proposed renovation/repairs to structures eligible for the National Registry must comply with the Secretary of Interior Standards and contracts will provide language mandating those standards.

f. Recreational metal detecting is prohibited on Fort Drum. Recreational metal detectorists are encouraged to contact the cultural resources program about the possibilities for working with the archaeological survey.

g. All excavations and any form of intentional ground disturbance on Fort Drum require environmental review and the appropriate permitting processes.

h. All federal undertakings on behalf of Fort Drum that have the potential to affect archaeological or historic properties require Cultural Resources review. Consultation under the National Historic Preservation Act might have to occur, whether or not the undertaking occurs within the installation boundary.

i. Any type of fill material being brought onto Fort Drum by a contractor must be from a New York State approved soil mine or gravel pit.

j. If accidental discovery of items that appear to be cultural remains (historic foundations, graves, historic or prehistoric artifacts, etc.) occurs during emplacement excavation or construction projects, all work will cease within a 30-meter radius of the find. Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security (DPTMS), Range Division and DPW Cultural Resources will be contacted immediately.

k. The POC for Cultural Resources can be reached at (315) 772-4165.

3-7. HMCC

a. Hazardous Material (HM) is defined as any substance that presents a risk to human health or the environment. HW is HM that can no longer be used for its intended purpose.

b. All HM coming onto Fort Drum must be purchased through the HMCC. Purchasing of HM from off-post retailers is prohibited.

c. Government Purchase Card cardholders are not authorized to purchase HM. Mission Installation Contracting Command will track, report, and revoke any cards that are used to make unauthorized purchases of HM.

d. The HMCC will maintain an authorized use list that will outline what is required for units/contractors to accomplish their mission. Units will not “stockpile” products from the HMCC.

The HMCC will manage HM necessary to sustain the evolving 10th Mountain Division (LI) mission.

e. The HMCC will be the POC for all product shelf-life extension issues. Units/tenants are responsible for inventorying their products and notifying the HMCC when a material needs an extension. The type of material (Type I or Type II), previous extensions, and other characteristics are the determining factors on whether that material is subject to an extension.

f. HM must be managed in a way as to eliminate avoidable generation of HW.

g. Flammable lockers will not be stored outdoors, or in conditions that will potentially change the chemical composition of the materials being stored (freezing temperatures, extreme heat, etc.) and cause excess waste generation.

h. Units/tenants will not stockpile HM. All HM will be procured on a 10-day schedule though the HMCC to minimize the disposal of unused material due to an expired shelf life.
