IGI&S Proponent: OACSIM Installation Services Directorate –

Environmental Division (DAIM-ISE)

Data Steward: ENV SME or equivalent

Prioritization: CIP

1.2 Feature Description

An environmental remediation site is a geographic location where an active environmental study or project is underway to remediate pollutants located in the soil, sediment, surface water, or groundwater. In April 2003, the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Installations and Environment) directed that environmental remediation and compliance-related cleanup be addressed under a unified Army Environmental Cleanup Strategy (AECS). The AECS integrates the Defense

Environmental Restoration Program (DERP) for Active Installations, Base Realignment and

Closure (BRAC) installations, Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS), and overseas remediation, and the compliance-related cleanup program for Active Army, Reserve, Army National Guard

(ARNG), and special installations.

Site cleanups are conducted as restoration activities under the DERP or as compliance-related cleanup activities (non-DERP). The mission for site cleanups is to perform appropriate, cost-effective cleanup so that currently active property is safe for Army installation use and sustains operations and training, property to be or already disposed of is safe for transfer and projected reuse, and to protect human health and the environment.

The DERP authorities are found in 10 USC, Environmental Restoration Program, Section 2701-

2710. The program provides for the cleanup of Department of Defense (DoD) hazardous waste sites consistent with the provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA); the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution

Contingency Plan (NCP) (40 CFR §300); and Executive Order (EO) 12580, Superfund

Implementation.

Each of the restoration programs under DERP has three program categories. The Installation

Restoration Program (IRP) category refers to environmental responses to hazardous substances, pollutants, contaminants, and POL. The Military Munitions Response Program (MMRP) category refers to munitions constituents (MC) and addresses munitions-related contamination at non-operational ranges. The Building Demolition and Debris Removal (BD/DR) program refers to the demolition and removal of unsafe buildings and structures at facilities or sites.

Compliance-related cleanup (CC) includes actions to address contamination at Army facilities overseas; contamination resulting from operations that have occurred at Army active, excess, and special installations, and ARNG federally owned facilities; and contamination at non-federally owned, federally supported ARNG facilities. The program areas of the AECS are described below.

Army Active DERP: Army active installation restoration addresses contamination at active Army installations under the DERP.

Army Excess DERP: Army excess installations are active installations that are excess to

Army needs. The Army intends to dispose of these sites once cleanup issues have been addressed, but these installations are not subject to BRAC legislation.

Army BRAC DERP Cleanup: The BRAC program was established to meet requirements of the Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1988 and the Defense Base

Closure and Realignment Act of 1990, as amended. BRAC cleanup is funded under the

BRAC account (a subset of the Military Construction appropriation) and is conducted under DERP authority.

Formerly Used Defense Sites: The FUDS program was established under the DERP to cleanup properties that were under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of Defense and owned by, leased to, or otherwise possessed by the United States prior to 17 October 1986 leading to contamination or safety hazards caused by DoD. These properties are no longer under DoD control. The Army is the executive agent for the FUDS program, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) executes the program.

Army Compliance-Related Cleanup (non-DERP): The Army conducts cleanup of contamination resulting from operations at active, BRAC, excess, and special installations as well as non-federally owned, federally supported ARNG sites.

Compliance-related cleanup is conducted in accordance with a number of environmental laws and regulations.

Army Remediation Overseas: The Army’s remediation overseas addresses cleanup requirements and standards at Army installations located outside of the United States.

Overseas remediation has been managed under the Army’s environmental compliance program. DoD Instruction 4715.08, “Environmental Remediation for DoD Activities

Overseas,” is the driver for Army remediation overseas. EO 12088 and EO 12114 were written specifically to ensure that federal facilities overseas comply with or address host nation environmental considerations appropriately.

1.3 Characterization

Environmental remediation sites represent specific sites in need of, or in the process of, addressing hazardous substances or pollutants or contaminants that were released to the soil, sediment, ground water, or surface water. This geospatial data layer should be used to capture one polygon per environmental remediation site. Environmental remediation sites that are included on the National Priorities List (Superfund Site) will be noted in the attribute table.

Mapping of environmental remediation sites is critical for long-term strategic management and monitoring. Accurate depiction of current environmental remediation sites will allow for the rapid identification of areas for future surveying and building of action plans to manage those areas properly.

3.0 REPRESENTATION

3.1 Geographic Representation

Environmental remediation site features should be stored in the SDSFIE 3.1 Army Adaptation

EnvironmentalRemediationSite feature type, which was created to store a geographic location where an active environmental study or project is underway to remediate pollutants located in the soil, sediment, surface water, or groundwater. The SDSFIE 3.1 Army Adaptation utilizes this feature type’s default geometry of area. Use of alternate geometries is allowed for the

EnvironmentalRemediationSite feature type. If an installation requires the use of a subclass to the EnvironmentalRemediationSite feature type to properly store environmental remediation site features, a new subclass must be created in accordance with the Army IGI&S Program

SDSFIE Implementation Guidance.

http://www.apd.army.mil/ http://www.gpo.gov/ http://www.gpo.gov/

When implementing the area geometry, the environmental remediation site geospatial data layer will include closed polygons representing the outermost geographic extent of the area. Each polygon shall pertain to a single environmental remediation site. When implementing the point geometry, the environmental remediation site geospatial data layer will include discrete points that represent the approximate centroid or location of the environmental remediation site feature.

3.2 Positional Accuracy

Environmental remediation site features must, at a minimum, meet a level of positional accuracy for depiction on a 1:20,000 scale cartographic product. The minimum absolute horizontal accuracy for environmental remediation site features is 0.3 meters. The horizontal accuracy must be compiled, tested, and reported in accordance with Part 3 of the Federal Geographic Data

Committee's Geospatial Positioning Accuracy Standards: the National Standard for Spatial Data

Accuracy (NSSDA). Spatial accuracy must be reported at the 95% confidence level. The spatial accuracy standard is available at http://www.fgdc.gov/standards/standards_publications/index_html. Vertical accuracy is not currently tested for the environmental remediation site geospatial data layer.

3.3 Logical Consistency

Environmental remediation site polygon features may overlap but should be attributed to uniquely identify each feature. These features should be validated for connectivity and not contain undershoots, overshoots, node mismatches, dangling arcs, or self-overlaps.

Environmental remediation site point features should be individual centroids or locations with unique coordinates.

3.4 Completeness

This geospatial data layer must include all environmental remediation site features within the installation’s site(s) boundary or the boundary of land owned, leased, or held by the installation and may include features adjacent to or contiguous to the boundary if a business case exists.

The environmental remediation site geospatial data layer will contain attribute fields in accordance with the current OACSIM approved Army Adaptation to the current SDSFIE version. Although all attribute fields must exist in the attribute table, only those attribute fields listed in Table 4 - Required Populated Attributes, are required to be populated.

3.5 Temporal Representation

The environmental remediation site geospatial data layer will reflect existing conditions. Updates to the completed environmental remediation site geospatial data layer will occur when existing environmental remediation sites are changed or when environmental remediation sites are added or removed from the installation. At a minimum, the environmental remediation site geospatial data layer will be updated annually.

3.6 Spatial Reference

The bounding coordinates to capture the north, south, east, and west-most spatial extents of the environmental remediation site geospatial data layer will be based on one of the following: a) http://www.fgdc.gov/standards/standards_publications/index_html

Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Zone, meters or b) local State Plane Coordinate System, feet. At a minimum, feature types within the database should have a spatial reference with a precision of 1,000. The horizontal datum to be utilized is World Geodetic System 1984

(WGS84), and the vertical datum shall be Mean Sea Level (MSL) as determined by the Earth

Gravitational Model 2008 (EGM2008) Geoid.

4.0 VALID SOURCES AND SOURCE SELECTION CRITERIA

Information for the environmental remediation site geospatial data layer must be obtained and/or validated at the installation level from the environmental SME, or equivalent. The environmental

SME will have overall responsibility for completing and updating the spatial, attribute and metadata features of the environmental remediation site geospatial data layer in accordance with this QAP. In all cases, the Data Steward should work with the SME to identify the most reliable source for the environmental remediation site geospatial data layer.

4.1 Feature Specific Sources and Toolsets

The following sources of data will be considered for capturing new geospatial data collection efforts or updating existing geospatial data. These sources are to be used in conjunction with the sources listed in the Valid Sources and Source Selection Criteria section of the QAP General

Guidance document: https://www.us.army.mil/suite/doc/43327385.

Environmental Resources Databases – Military database records containing environmental cleanup site inventory attributes and properties.

Environmental Restoration Information System (ERIS) – ERIS and ERIS Range is a central repository for Army installation chemical, geological, and hydrology data to document the Army environmental restoration and range program field data.

5.0 HQDA SOURCE DATABASES

The Headquarters Department of the Army (HQDA) source database is the authoritative, auditable source of information where data is recorded. Properly utilizing HQDA source databases is crucial to maintaining accurate and relevant information. Maintaining duplicative databases is inefficient, undermines the reliability of the information, and creates unsustainable business processes. Departments within HQDA are currently collaborating to ensure business systems are interoperable to ensure reduced redundancy.

Real Property Database of Record

HQDA maintains the Headquarters Installation Information System (HQIIS), a repository of Army real property assets and related data. HQIIS contains active Army, Army National Guard (ARNG), United States Army Reserve (USAR), and United

States Army Corps of Engineer (USACE) military real property inventory data and related data.

https://www.us.army.mil/suite/doc/43327385

Headquarters Installation Information System: HQIIS is an Army enterprise level comprehensive information repository and the Army’s authoritative source for Real Property Installation, Site, Enclave, Complex and Base data supporting the Installation, Energy and Environment (IE&E) business domain. HQIIS is the single Army system interfacing with OSD’s Site and Asset Registry system and key Army systems. HQIIS is the central ‘hub’ for data exchanges satisfying statutory and regulatory requirements between OACSIM and its business related systems as well as providing the ability to analyze Army’s Real Property data.

HQIIS is populated from the following installation level real property databases:

General Fund Enterprise Business System (GFEBS), Planning Resource

Infrastructure Development and Evaluation (PRIDE), Real Estate Management

Information System (REMIS) and Rental Facility Management Information

System (RFMIS).

Website:https://www.acsim-apps.army.mil/secure/hqiis/links.do?dispatch=display&page=hqiisHomePage

Environmental Database of Record

Headquarters Army Environmental System (HQAES) is the enterprise information system that enables the Army to collect, analyze, and report environmental data in an efficient and effective manner.

Headquarters Army Environmental System: HQAES is the authoritative environmental database of record for the Army Environmental Program. Users at any level can see and use their environmental data in HQAES. This system utilizes technology with sufficient tools to support Army Headquarters, Commands, and installation needs. The data collected for reporting is transparent and supports interoperability. HQAES collects all data once and distributes the information to several enterprise and feeder systems.

6.0 SPECIFICATIONS FOR GRAPHIC ENTITIES AND

ATTRIBUTES

The DoD I&E community has been operating in compliance with the SDSFIE data model since

FY07. The SDSFIE 3.1 Army Adaptation is the current geospatial data standard for the Army

IGI&S community. Further guidance pertaining to the implementation of the SDSFIE 3.1 Army

Adaptation can be found in the guide listed below.

6.2 Attribute Tables

In order to comply with DoD and Army IGI&S Program geospatial data standards, all attributes must exist in the EnvironmentalRemediationSite feature type; however, not all of the attribute fields are required to be populated in every feature type. Table 4 identifies the attribute fields required to be populated for environmental remediation sites, their definitions, acceptable values, and the authoritative data source from where the attribute value should originate. In addition to the attributes listed in Table 4, the geometry-appropriate SDSFIE 3.1 Gold Foundational attributes must be present in the feature type schema. See the QAP General Guidance for more information about Foundational and Common attributes.

GIS databases are the authoritative data source for only feature level latitude and longitude attribute data. Other feature level attribute data must be properly obtained from its appropriate authoritative data source, per guidance in this QAP, and not maintained in a GIS attribute table.

Departments within OACSIM are currently collaborating to ensure all vital data is stored and maintained in its proper business system. When connectivity with HQDA source databases is established, only those attribute fields whose source database is “IGI&S Generated” will be stored in the geospatial database. As such, attributes identified as belonging in HQAES but not currently located in HQAES, have been placed into a section in attribute table titled “Pending

HQAES Interface”. These attributes should continue to be collected and maintained utilizing guidance in this QAP until new guidance is published indicating their placement in HQAES.
