1.2 Feature Description

Environmental discharge points are points of intentional discharge into the environment. This includes discharges into the air, land, and water from sources such as industrial or chemical processes, runoff from land clearing or construction activities, gas venting, landfill leachate, wastewater pipes, and landfill gas emission flare and treatment points.

Projects that cause land disturbance and have the potential to cause environmental discharge must be permitted and must present a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) in order to assess how runoff and sediment will be managed and mitigated. Storm sewer systems also must be permitted in order to ensure that only clean water enters waterways as much as possible. The

Clean Water Act Section 404(b)(1) Guidelines states that discharges into waters of the United

States, including wetlands, should not occur unless it can be demonstrated that such discharges will not result in unacceptable adverse effects on the aquatic ecosystem. An emissions permit should not be issued if there is a less environmentally damaging alternative available for the proposed discharge. Section 112 of the Clean Air Act establishes emission standards and requires the maximum possible reduction of hazardous air pollutants, also known as “maximum achievable control technology” or MACT standards.

Accurate mapping of environmental discharge points assists in the management of permit compliant programs such as the Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP), Formerly

Used Defense Sites (FUDS), and other compliance-related cleanup activities. These plans help protect human health, the environment, and the utility of installations.

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 discharge points represent specific points from which contaminants, pollutants, or regulated releases are discharged into the environment. The Data Steward will provide points representing the geographic location of the environmental discharge. Accurate depiction of current environmental discharge points 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 discharge point features should be stored in the SDSFIE 3.1 Army Adaptation

EnvironmentalDischargePoint feature type, which was created to store the specific location of an intentional discharge into the environment. The SDSFIE 3.1 Army Adaptation utilizes this feature type’s default geometry of point. Use of alternate geometries is not allowed for the

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

Implementation Guidance.

The environmental discharge point geospatial data layer will include discrete points that represent the approximate centroid or location of the environmental discharge point feature.

3.2 Positional Accuracy

Environmental discharge point features must, at a minimum, meet a level of positional accuracy for depiction on a 1:24,000 scale cartographic product. The minimum absolute horizontal accuracy for environmental discharge point features is 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 discharge point geospatial data layer.

http://www.apd.army.mil/ http://www.gpo.gov/ http://www.gpo.gov/ http://www.fgdc.gov/standards/standards_publications/index_html

3.3 Logical Consistency

Environmental discharge point features may overlap where multiple point sources and area sources are located at the same place. Overlapping features must be uniquely attributed.

3.4 Completeness

This geospatial data layer must include all environmental discharge point features within the installation’s site(s) boundary or the boundary of land owned, leased, or held by the installation.

The environmental discharge point geospatial data layer will align with HQIIS (See “HQDA

Source Databases” section for more detail). The environmental discharge point 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 discharge point geospatial data layer will reflect existing conditions. Updates to the completed environmental discharge point geospatial data layer will occur when existing environmental discharge points are changed or when environmental discharge points are added or removed from the installation. At a minimum, the environmental discharge point 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 discharge point geospatial data layer will be based on one of the following: a)

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 discharge point 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 discharge point 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 discharge point geospatial data layer.

4.1 Feature Specific Sources and Toolsets

All sources of data that will be considered for capturing new geospatial data collection efforts or updating existing geospatial data are located in the Valid Sources and Source Selection Criteria section of the QAP General Guidance document: https://www.us.army.mil/suite/doc/43327385.

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. At this time, there are no authoritative

HQDA source databases for this feature. The SDSFIE Army Adaptation geodatabase is the database of record for this IGI&S geospatial data layer.

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 EnvironmentalDischargePoint 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, their definitions, acceptable values, and the authoritative data source https://www.us.army.mil/suite/doc/43327385 https://www.us.army.mil/suite/doc/42118840 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.
