In compliance with DoD Instruction 4715.14, the Marine Corps will utilize the REVA program to assess the potential impacts to human health and the environment from live‐fire training operations. The purpose of the REVA is to identify whether there is a release or a substantial threat of a release of munitions constituents (MCs) from the operational range or range complex areas to off‐range areas and determine if release causes an unacceptable risk to human health and/or the environment. The Marine Corps will collect baseline data to support the assessment as part of a baseline survey conducted before the ranges are approved for use.

The REVA program will conduct an assessment on all live‐fire operational ranges after they have been in use for a minimum of a year to determine if MCs are migrating off‐ range and if follow‐on actions are required.

LID is a design measure that requires the use of innovative methods to capture stormwater that would otherwise flow into nearby watersheds using a combination of retention devices and vegetation to allow stormwater to be retained and managed at the source rather than relying on downstream efforts to control the flow of water and contaminants.

BMP‐27 Terrestrial Bio Brown Treesnake Interdiction

The DON will fund any increase of current federally funded brown treesnake interdiction measures (in Guam, CNMI, and Hawaii) where the increase is related to direct, indirect and induced growth caused by the USMC relocation to Guam. The FY 2010 level of funding for the Federal interagency BTS interdiction effort on Guam, CNMI, and Hawaii and 2010 transportation levels associated with outbound cargo from Guam for the U.S. or U.S. territories will be used as the baseline. Any increase in funding will continue and become part of the DON's Brown Treesnake interdiction funding under authority of the Brown Tree Snake Control and Eradication Act (7 USC § 8501 note) (USFWS 2010a). The Service agrees that it is not DON’s responsibility to fund increased interdiction measures that are identified more than one year after the end of the fiscal year both USMC relocation construction has ended and the permanent non‐ transient USMC military units have relocated to Guam. For the purposes of this BMP, interdiction is defined as: “to hinder, prohibit, or prevent the brown treesnake from becoming established in new locations by conducting inspection and suppression processes.”

Coordination with the USGS regarding the Brown Treesnake Research Closed Population Facility at NWF. The DON will ensure through briefings or information packages that the personnel using the LFTRC know the importance of the facility and maintaining the integrity of the fence. An SOP will be developed as part of the RMP for the LFTRC to ensure the above and that USGS will be immediately notified in the event that the fence is accidentally damaged so the fence can be quickly repaired.
