Naval Base Guam Integrated Pest Management Plan February 2013 xv

Executive Summary The Integrated Pest Management Plan (IPMP) is a comprehensive, long-range document that captures all the pest management and pesticide-related activities conducted on Naval Base Guam property. Pest management activities within Naval Base Guam provide Force Health Protection, maintain facilities, protect environmental resources, and improve personnel quality of life to ensure that Naval Base Guam accomplishes its mission to support the forces of the US Pacific Fleet. The pest management program includes pest control and grounds maintenance for administrative and industrial facilities, golf course turf and grounds maintenance, lessee pest control, and natural resources protection. This plan adds value by developing compliance systems and streamlining operations involving the use of pesticides, including applications, storage, and the archiving of records, all of which are tightly regulated by FIFRA, Guam EPA pesticide laws, DoD instruction, and Navy regulations. As a planning document, the IPMP is also a vital component of effective Integrated Pest Management (IPM).

This document provides comprehensive information on the installation’s pest management program for installation staff and internal and external compliance auditors. It incorporates specific pest management practices and Guam EPA, Federal, and Department of Defense regulations. The Plan conforms to the requirements of DoD Instruction 4150.07, OPNAVINST 6250.4 series, and OPNAVINST 5090.1C.

1.2 The Integrated Pest Management Plan

Scope The Naval Base Guam IPMP is a long-range, comprehensive planning and operational document that establishes the procedures for conducting a safe, effective, and environmentally sound integrated pest management program. This IPMP covers all pest management and pesticide-related activities conducted by civilian and military DoD personnel and commercial contractors on Naval Base Guam property. Pest management operations conducted at tenant commands located on Naval Base Guam property are included in this IPMP.

Implementation Authority OPNAVINST 6250.4 series and OPNAVINST 5090.1C, Chapter 17 require all Navy activities that conduct pest management operations to have an IPMP. Pest management programs at Navy activities shall be conducted under an IPMP in accordance with DoD INST 4150.07 and OPNAVINST 6250.4 series.

DoD Measures of Merit This IPMP provides the framework for Naval Base Guam to meet the DoD’s annual goals or Measures of Merit (MoM). Per the Armed Forces Pest Management Board update of DoDI 4150.07, the MoMs are:

Goal 1. All DOD installations will maintain installation Pest Management Plans that have been reviewed and approved by a DoD-certified Pest Management Consultant and annually updated by the Installation Pest Management Coordinator.

Goal 2. All DOD installations will adhere to the principals of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and the DOD will maintain the goal of minimizing annual pesticide use by both government and contractor pesticide applicators on its installations. This goal is set at

425,000 lbs of active ingredient, the DOD’s average annual usage for Fiscal Years 2007- 2009 and an overall 52% reduction from the original Fiscal Year 1993 baseline.

Goal 3. All DOD pesticide applicators will be certified. All contracted employees shall have appropriate U.S. state or host-nation pesticide applicator certification in the appropriate categories at the time the contract is let.

Using the IPMP The IPMP provides a comprehensive overview of pest management and pesticide-related operations within Naval Base Guam. It can be used as a reference by all installation personnel and can be provided to external pesticide regulators. The IPMP is divided into the core plan and appendices. The IPMP is provided in a hard copy and electronic form.

In addition to the PMSPs, individual personnel including employees and housing tenants have responsibility for preventing and reducing pest infestations in their workplace and/or berthing/residence areas. This IPMP encompasses all of the activities of the PMSPs and individuals.

Pest Management Objectives The pest management objectives at Naval Base Guam are:

1. Protect the health of military personnel and their dependents, DoD employees, and visitors from disease and injury caused by pests. Animal-borne diseases and venomous organisms pose a threat to installation personnel and can be prevented through vector/pest control.

2. Protect all buildings and other real property from damage caused by pests.

Household insects and rodents can cause significant damage to structures and sensitive mechanical and electronic equipment that can impact the installation’s mission. Birds can cause damage to buildings and are a hazard to aircraft operations.

3. Enhance the natural and artificial environment through removal of pest plants.

Endangered or otherwise rare species’ habitat conservation is achieved through invasive species / predator control.

4. Enhance quality of life through pest prevention. Pest control prevents damage to ornamental landscapes, shade trees, and recreational and golf course turf that contribute to the quality of life of personnel.

1.4 Regulatory Compliance

Policy Department of Defense policy is to ensure pest management programs achieve, maintain, and monitor compliance with all applicable Executive Orders and applicable Federal, State, and local statutory and regulatory requirements. Generally, when there is a conflict between Federal and local regulations, the installation complies with the more stringent of the two. However, in instances where stringent local regulations impede the installations mission, the installation may invoke sovereign immunity.

1.4.1.1 Primary Pesticide Regulations

• Federal: U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 40 CFR Section E, 152-180: Pesticide

Programs.

• DoD, Navy and Marine Corps: OPNAVINST 6250.4 series, Pest Management Programs;

OPNAVINST 5090.1C, Environmental Readiness Program Manual

• Guam: Title 10, Guam Code Annotated (GCA), Chapter 50 “The Guam Pesticides Act” 2007

• Guam: Title 22, Guam Administrative Rules and Regulations (GARR), Division III - Guam

Pesticide Regulations, Chapter 15 - Pesticides, 2010

1.4.1.2 The Pesticide Label

The primary source of pesticide regulations for the pesticide applicator is found on the pesticide label in accordance with 40 CFR 156. Guam Environmental Protections Agency (GEPA) may add supplementary labels, which are regulations that must be complied with in Guam. It is a violation of Federal and/or State law to use a pesticide in a manner inconsistent with the label. Note, however, that the pesticide label does not provide specific information for each site where the pesticide may be applied. For example, the pesticide label may allow application of an herbicide to unimproved grounds, but if those grounds are within an endangered species habitat, then pesticide use may be restricted under the Endangered Species Act. Pesticide applicators should be aware of environmentally sensitive areas before beginning any new pesticide application and should contact the NAVFAC Marianas Environmental Department Natural Resources Program Manager if there are any questions about the area where pesticides are to be applied. For more on the pesticide label, see http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/label/.

Endangered Species Protection Bulletins set forth geographically specific pesticide use limitations for the protection of endangered or threatened species and their designated critical habitat. If your pesticide label directs you to the EPA Bulletins Live! Website, (http://128.104.224.199/espp_front/view.jsp), you are required to follow the pesticide use limitations found in the Bulletin for your location, pesticide active ingredient and application month.

1.4.1.3 Other Regulations

Other applicable directives, laws and regulations concerning pesticide applications and pest management operations are listed and described in Appendix C.

Pesticide Regulation and Enforcement

1.4.1.4 Pesticide Regulation

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has the primary authority to regulate pesticides in the U.S. The EPA delegates pesticide enforcement authority to states through cooperative agreements. On Guam, the GEPA, provides the enforcement infrastructure. However, the GEPA, has only limited authority to regulate pesticides on federal facilities including military installations on DoD property. OPNAVINST 6250.4 series requires Navy and Marine Corps installations to comply with State (territory) and local pesticide use regulations. However, the state (territory) or county cannot directly enforce pesticide use by federal employees on federal facilities. Nor can the State (territory) impose civil penalties against federal agencies or personnel for violations of state pesticide laws on federal facilities. However, persons using pesticides in a manner not in compliance with the label are not completely absolved from responsibility for misuse of a toxic material. Personnel contracted to apply pesticides on federal property are subject to different laws and policies and are not protected in this manner.

Executive Order 12088, “Federal Compliance with Pollution Control Standards”, does not provide GEPA with authority to compel federal agencies’ compliance with Guam pesticide laws or to take civil penalty actions. It does, however, allow GEPA to request the Administrator of U.S. EPA to resolve conflicts that arise concerning federal agency compliance with Guam and local pollution control standards.

Guam can enforce pesticide use as regulated by other State (territory) enforced Federal Laws such as the Clean Water Act (CWA), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Endangered Species Act (ESA) and Clean Air Act (CAA). Also, current immunity from state regulation of pesticide use does not preclude the possibility of legal ramifications in the future.

Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) may result in the transfer of DoD properties to state, N40192-23-R-7008_AMENDMENT 0002 http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/label/ http://128.104.224.199/espp_front/view.jsp county, or private entities. Contamination of these properties resulting from improper past pesticide use may result in high costs associated with environmental remediation or legal actions against the DoD.

1.4.1.5 Compliance Assessments

Internal program assessments should be conducted by the IPMC. Appendix I contains an internal assessment plan (IAP) and Appendix D contains compliance self-assessment checklists.

External environmental quality assessments (EQA) are conducted by Commander, Naval Installations Command (CNIC). The NAVFAC PAC PPMC has no enforcement authority but can provide the installation with technical assistance for compliance. The PPMC will conduct a review of pest management operations every 24 to 36 months per OPNAVINST 6250.4 series. The purpose of this review is to monitor conformance with the IPMP and to provide assistance in updating the plan. The reviews can also be used to provide recommendations for preparing for compliance inspections / assessments and to correct findings and deficiencies from past EQAs.

1.4.1.6 Enforcement

Since GEPA does not have the authority to enforce FIFRA on the installation, the responsibility for compliance and enforcement lies with the CO. As the CO’s pest management advisor, the IPMC shall be familiar with federal, state (territory) and local pesticide use regulations and ensure that all PMSPs conduct operations in compliance with these regulations.

• Commercial contract applicators: PCPARs shall provide assistance by monitoring contract

PMSPs for compliance with all applicable regulations as specified in the contract and will recommend appropriate actions to the contracting officer if the contractor does not comply.

PMTs conducting inspections of food service facility pest management programs may also be utilized to ensure compliance for safe pesticide use and applicator certification (Inspection guidelines are found in NAVMED P-5010 Chapter 1).

• DoD and GEPA certified applicators: The pesticide applicator’s immediate supervisor, with the assistance of the IPMC, shall also ensure that pesticide use is in compliance. Per DoD 4150.07-M, Volume 1, the DoD may deny, suspend, or revoke the certificate of any DoD employee who violates any provision of FIFRA or falsifies records. In accordance with DoD 4150.07-M, Volume 1, the installation CO may initiate a formal review if FIFRA violations are suspected.

1.5 Program Requirements

Administration Administration of the pest management program involves the documentation of pest management activities on the installation for the purpose of implementing IPM and ensuring that only qualified personnel apply pesticides. Table 1-3 outlines the pest management program requirements.

Operations Operations are the actual execution of pesticide and pest management activities. Pest management on Naval Base Guam includes the following categories of operations:

1. Aquatic – Weed and algae control in ponds and the Fena Reservior.

2. Ornamental and Turf – Control and management of weeds and arthropod, vertebrate, nematode and disease pests in landscaped areas and on turf.

3. Right-of-Way – Weed control along fence lines, roadways, and sidewalks.

4. Industrial, Institutional, Structural, and Health-Related - Control and management of pests in and around buildings. Pests include rodents, flies, cockroaches and a variety of household pests. This also includes nuisance bird management and animal control.

5. Public Health - Control and management of human and animal disease vectors such as rodents, mosquitoes, flies, and fleas.

6. Noxious weed control: Control of weeds that are detrimental to endangered and threatened species’ habitats.

7. Predator control: Control and management of animal predators that prey on endangered or threatened species.

Each of these operations must meet requirements that are listed and described in Table 1-4.
