Highlights:

Revises chapter 10 with significant updates to: sample impact and harm conclusions and remarks for records of categorical exclusion (CATEX) (table 10-3); timelines for environmental planning documents (subparagraph 10-3.4l); CATEX conditions, circumstances, and requirements for documenting reliance on a CATEX (subparagraphs 10-3.14e and 10-3.14m); the list of Navy

CATEXs (table 10-6); finding of no significant impact (FONSI) decision date requirements

(table 10-8); and the environmental impact statement (EIS) pre-planning process (subparagraph

10-3.16b).

Revises chapter 15 by citing the U.S. Navy Range Sustainability Environmental Program

Assessment (RSEPA) Policy Implementation Manual (paragraph 15-3.1) and updating the budget submitting officer’s responsibility to report actual source-receptor pathway interactions

(subparagraph 15-4.6d).

Replaces chapter 35 in its entirety, with major updates to: Uniform National Discharge Stands

(UNDS) requirements, including aqueous film-forming foam additions and UNDS non-compliance reports, and noting that revised UNDS discharge policies will be developed and promulgated once regulations are finalized (paragraph 35-3.11); Afloat Environmental

Protection Coordinator (AEPC) requirements and shoreside support to ships (paragraphs 35-3.2 and 35-3.9); mandatory consultation with Navy regional environmental coordinators regarding

UNDS incidents (subparagraph 35-3.4b); regulatory monitoring requirements (subparagraph

35-3.4f); notices of violation (paragraph 35-3.5); Navy pollution control discharge restrictions

(tables 35-1a, 35-1b, and 35-1c); surface ship oil/water separator and oily waste holding tank requirements; oil and hazardous substance spill reports (paragraph 35-3.14 and subparagraph

35-3.15b); and seawater cooling requirements for floating dry docks (paragraph 35-3.22). Also defines new terms biodegradable, bioaccumulative, environmentally acceptable lubricants, federally protected waters, minimally toxic, not bioaccumulative, person in charge (PIC), and toxic material (paragraph 35-5); removes the list of excluded vessel discharges from National

Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permitting; adds the Washington State No Discharge

Zone (subparagraph 35-3.10c); and updates authorized methods for shipboard hazardous material disposal (table 35-3).

Updates Appendix C by adding an UNDS non-compliance report naval message (section C-4).

Revises Appendix D’s Afloat Pollution Prevention and Waste Management Compliance

Checklist (section D-2) with AEPC training and PIC roles supporting UNDS operational, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements; new equipment-operation questions; and program compliance and effectiveness updates, including items for UNDS records and reports.

Updates Appendix E with Web sites for the Fleet Forces Command Afloat Environmental

1-1 Scope

a. Environmental readiness encompasses all aspects of environmental compliance, planning, conservation, pollution prevention (P2), and remediation. The mission of the Navy’s environmental readiness program is to ensure that U.S. Navy forces effectively train, test, and operate worldwide. Doing so in an environmentally responsible manner helps ensure continued access to land, air, and 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.) across the Navy enterprise.

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

1-2

DoD final governing standards (FGS) for host-nation-specific criteria, or the Overseas

Environmental Baseline Guidance Document (OEBGD) when host-nation-specific FGSs have not been developed (see chapter 34 (Overseas Environmental Compliance Ashore) of this manual). It also establishes and provides Navy 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 must 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 paragraph in each chapter of this manual 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 the Navy’s environmental readiness program and is not intended to create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable by law by any party against DON, its officers, its 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 subparagraph 1-3.2f of this manual.

1-1.4. Related Programs. All environmental readiness program areas covered within this manual are under the cognizance of the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, Energy and

Environmental Readiness Division (OPNAV N45), except as specifically noted. Other related references and instructions relevant to specific programs under OPNAV N45 cognizance are also identified, including:

a. P2. Reference (a) 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 17 (Environmental

Management Systems and Environmental Compliance Audits Ashore), chapter 23 (Hazardous

Materials Management Ashore), and chapter 27 (Hazardous Waste Management Ashore) of this

b. Noise. 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 (b). The requirements for assessing the noise impacts of proposed Navy actions, however, should be considered during the environmental planning process discussed in chapter 10 (Environmental

Planning Under the National Environmental Policy Act and Executive Order 12114) of this

c. Readiness Sustainment and Compatibility (RSC) Program. A key element of the RSC program is encroachment management. Per reference (c), encroachment is any action or condition that restricts or prohibits the attainment or sustainment of the Navy’s statutory responsibilities to man, train, maintain, and equip a combat-ready force. Additionally, any lack of action by the Navy to work with local communities and monitor development plans or to adequately manage its facilities and real property can result in encroachment. Encroachment arises in a variety of ways including, but not limited to urban development; competition for air, land and sea space; foreign proximity concerns; threatened and endangered species; and other environmental or incompatible development concerns. The Navy’s ability to manage encroachment properly relies upon an RSC program that identifies and addresses encroachment challenges and issues early and systematically, and it is imperative that the Navy’s management of encroachment be coordinated with all internal stakeholders. This process requires a coordinated effort led by OPNAV N45 and involves the commands whose responsibilities include sustaining mission readiness at installations, ranges, and operating areas (OPAREA) within the United States; its territories, trusts, and possessions; and assets where the Navy manages, controls, or otherwise operates. Community planning and liaison officers are the primary positions dedicated to RSC at the installation level.

d. Environmental Readiness in Acquisition

(1) This program provides and implements Navy program policies and procedures to ensure environmental readiness at reduced cost over an acquired system’s life cycle.

Environmental readiness in acquisition refers to the ability of a new system to be used in realistic testing, training, and operations, in full compliance with environmental requirements upon delivery to the fleets.

1-5

(2) DoD and Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) policy concerning environmental readiness requirements shall be applied to the Navy’s implementation of the Defense Acquisition

System. The Defense Acquisition System, which is described in references (d) and (e), establishes the framework of policy, processes, and documentation for the acquisition of systems, and the planning and decision-making for the life-cycle sustainability of those systems.

For Navy acquisition programs, environmental readiness in acquisition requirements and considerations shall be fully incorporated into the development and testing of new systems to ensure realistic fleet training and operations, in full compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. Navy acquisition programs shall comply with DoD and SECNAV environmental provisions and policy as outlined in references (d) through (j).

e. Strategic Sustainability

(1) Sustainability is not an individual departmental program but an organizing paradigm that applies to all DoD mission and program areas.
