1-1 Scope

a. Environmental readiness encompasses all aspects of environmental compliance, planning, conservation, cultural resources, and restoration. The mission of Navy's environmental readiness program is to ensure the ability of United States Navy forces to effectively operate worldwide in an environmentally responsible manner, both ashore and at sea. The environmental readiness program provides Navy commanders; operators; design agents and life-cycle managers; installation managers; Navy Military and civilian employees; and government contractors with comprehensive and effective policy guidance, tools, and training to support operational readiness and sustainability, in compliance with environmental laws, regulations, and executive orders (E.O.s), across the Navy enterprise.

1-2

b. This manual identifies and is consistent with applicable Federal, State, and local environmental laws, statutes, regulations; E.O.s; Department of the Navy (DON) regulations, requirements, and instructions; and Department of Defense (DoD) directives, instructions, and other issuances. It directs commands, when and where appropriate, to consult the applicable DoD final governing standards (FGS) for host nation-specific criteria, or the Overseas Environmental Baseline Guidance Document (OEBGD) when host nation-specific FGS have not been developed (see chapter 34 (Overseas Environmental Compliance Ashore)). It also establishes and provides Navy implementing policy guidance for managing and complying with these requirements and assigns responsibility for their planning and execution. Directives set forth in this manual should be read in a manner consistent with higher guidance. All subsequent Navy environmental readiness program related instructions, manuals, guidance, and directives derived from this manual shall be aligned with the direction set forth herein.

1-1.1. Related Chapters. Each chapter in this manual covers a specific environmental readiness program area. The Related Chapters section in each chapter lists where program areas overlap one or more other chapters. Related chapters and their associated references should be referred to as appropriate.

1-1.3. Applicability. The policies and procedures in this manual apply to all Navy commands, organizations, installations, personnel (civilian and Military), Navy contractors, and non- Navy supported components under joint basing within the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) chain of command. In addition, some requirements of this manual apply to organizations, personnel, and commands outside of the CNO chain of command through DON policy statements and instructions. This manual describes the internal management of Navy's environmental program and is not intended to create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable by law by any party against DON, its officers, employees, or any person. This manual does not apply to Marine Corps or other Military Service activities, except when they are tenant commands located on Navy installations as described in section 1-3.2.f.

1-1.4. Related Programs. All environmental program areas covered within this manual are under the cognizance of the Office of Chief of Naval Operations, Energy and Environmental Readiness Division (OPNAV (N45)), except as specifically noted.

However, other related references and instructions relevant to specific programs under OPNAV (N45) cognizance are also identified, including:

a. Energy

(1) CNO established a Navy Energy Coordination Office in December 2008 via reference (a) to oversee development and execution of an integrated Navy energy strategy. This office is responsible for coordinating with resource sponsors, systems commands, the fleet, and other stakeholders to identify, promote, and track policy initiatives and metrics that:

(a) Reduce energy consumption and increase energy efficiency as a means to increase operational capability and effectiveness;

(b) Increase the use of alternative fuels and alternative energy sources;

1-5

(c) Measure return on investment from energy initiatives;

(d) Assist in incorporating energy efficiency in the acquisition process; and

(e) Incentivize members of the armed forces and civilian personnel to contribute to energy management.

(2) These efforts will position the Navy to achieve Secretary of the Navy and CNO energy afloat and ashore goals.

Other drivers include Federal mandates for energy management issued under references (b), (c), (d), and (e).

(3) Finally, reductions in Navy's energy consumption associated with burning fossil fuels, principally petroleum, will result in significant reductions of carbon dioxide emissions and will align Navy with DoD's energy conservation goals. Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are discussed in detail in chapter 22 (Clean Air Ashore). Chapter 10 (Environmental Planning Under the National Environmental Policy Act and Executive Order 12114) addresses how GHGs will be analyzed in environmental planning documentation.

b. Strategic Sustainability

(1) Sustainability is not an individual departmental program but an organizing paradigm that applies to all DoD mission and program areas as a means of improving mission accomplishment while enabling environmental stewardship.

Reference (e) provides a coherent approach both for complying with multiple Federal requirements for strategic sustainability and for assuring DoD's mission. DoD's vision of strategic sustainability is to maintain the ability to operate into the future without decline, either in the mission or in the natural and manufactured systems that support DoD. Reference (f) identifies four key linkages between strategic sustainability and the DoD mission that form priorities for DoD. Although reference (f) is updated annually, it is expected key linkages will remain similar to the ones listed below:

(a) Energy and reliance on fossil fuels;

(b) Chemicals of environmental concern;

(c) Water resources management; and

1-6

(d) Maintaining readiness in the face of climate change.

(2) Reference (f) lays out strategic sustainability goals and performance expectations for the next decade. Navy commands shall support annual sustainability reporting requirements as discussed in chapter 4 (Environmental Performance Reporting).

(3) Additional Strategic Sustainability Performance Plan environmental requirements are addressed in individual chapters of this manual including chapter 4 (Environmental Performance Reporting) and chapter 17 (Environmental Management Systems).

c. Pollution Prevention. Reference (g) requires all Federal agencies to prevent or reduce pollution at the source where feasible, recycle waste, and handle and dispose of waste in an environmentally safe manner. P2 covers multiple programs and is addressed specifically in chapter 11 (Environmental Readiness in the Acquisition Process), chapter 17 (Environmental Management Systems), chapter 23 (Hazardous Materials Management Ashore), and chapter 27 (Hazardous Waste Management Ashore).

d. Noise

(1) Noise impacts primarily related to occupational safety and health are not included in this manual as a standalone chapter. These impacts are covered in reference (h).
