Executive Summary This Integrated Pest Management Plan (IPMP) provides a comprehensive, long-range document that captures all the pest management operations and pesticide-related activities conducted at the Naval Station (NS) Mayport and for the Navy Fuel Depot (NFD) located at Heckscher Drive in Jacksonville, Florida, owned by NS Mayport. It incorporates pest management practices and the local, State, Federal, and Department of Defense regulations, conforming to the requirements of DoD Instruction 4150.07 and OPNAVINST 6250.4C. It gives comprehensive information about the pest management program to installation staff and internal and external compliance auditors.

The Naval Facilities Engineering Command Atlantic (NAVFAC Atlantic) Applied Biology Center prepared this IPMP from information obtained through pest management data collection, on-site observations, interviews with installation personnel, and document reviews.

The main goal of the various pest control functions is to support the mission of NS Mayport. Commercial contract pest control operators currently provide the majority of the pest control services for NS Mayport and the NFD. In-house pest control operators provide pest control at the Windy Harbor Golf Course. Pest control services are needed at NS Mayport to:

(1) Provide services that will prolong the life of the structures through subterranean termite and nuisance pest control;

(2) Maintain the safety and security of industrial and storage areas through weed control;

(3) Provide nuisance pest control to all buildings (except PPV housing) and outdoor areas to ensure a good working and living environment;

(4) Control weed and insect pests in all recreational and lawn areas to maintain aesthetics and provide recreational facilities to personnel;

(5) Provide control of mosquitoes, flies and other potential disease vectors to ensure the comfort and well-being of all personnel; and

(6) Provide vertebrate pest control, including rodent control, to all areas of NS Mayport.

For the current level of work to be accomplished, a sufficient staff of qualified applicators must be maintained. Contract personnel must meet state certification requirements as specified by the contract.

Pest Management Performance Assessment Representatives (PMPARs) must successfully take an initial

Pest Management Performance Assessment Representative (PMPAR) Course. To maintain their certification, the PMPARs and DoD pesticide applicators must successfully pass a DoD pest management training and recertification course every three years. Pest control facilities must comply with current safety standards to provide a safe workplace and to minimize pesticide hazards.

The focus of this IPMP is on safe, environmentally sound, and cost-effective control of pests through Integrated Pest Management (IPM). IPM depends on education, proper surveillance and identification of pests, non-chemical and chemical control methods, and individual responsibility for pest prevention.

1. Introduction

1.1. Installation Background

1.1.1. Mission

The mission of Naval Station Mayport is to sustain and enhance war-fighter readiness. NS Mayport supports a variety of tenant and support commands that provide various services toward the successful achievement of the military mission. NS Mayport’s major operational tenant commands include one battle group staff, two destroyer squadrons, 23 ships (including an aircraft carrier), and six helicopter squadrons. Additionally, the installation has major training and repair tenant commands and facilities.

The Navy Fuel Depot (NFD) is a bulk fuels terminal located in Jacksonville, Florida. Its mission is to receive and distribute bulk fuels to US Navy and US Marine Corps clients throughout the Southeast by means of tanker, truck, and barge operations. NFD is part of the Fleet and Industrial Supply Center (FISC) Jacksonville, Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP). FISC personnel operate the Depot; however, NS Mayport owns the land. As such, NS Mayport is responsible for the operation of the Government-owned, Government-operated (GOGO) fuel terminal, including maintenance of the facility in compliance with Federal, state, and local laws and regulations. As a GOGO facility, the NFD operates with a government staff and various contracted personnel (e.g., security).

1.1.2. Location and Facilities

Naval Station Mayport encompasses 3,409 acres and is capable of accommodating 40 ships at one time. NS Mayport is located at the mouth of the St. Johns River, approximately 15 miles east of the Jacksonville Central Business District in Duval County, Florida. It is bordered to the north by the St.

Johns River, to the south by the city of Jacksonville, to the east by the Atlantic Ocean, and to the west by the Village of Mayport and the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. NS Mayport also includes two off-base areas: the Greenfield Plantation and Ribault Bay Village Housing. The Ribault Bay Village Housing area is located off base on Navy-owned property approximately 3 miles south of NS Mayport’s main gate, west of Mayport Road, near the end of Asissi Lane. The Greenfield Plantation is located off base to the west of the installation.

NS Mayport contains 15,150 Active Duty personnel, 32,000 family members, and numerous DoD personnel and contractors.

The NFD is located in Duval County approximately 7 miles north of downtown Jacksonville and approximately 1 mile east of the intersection of Interstate 95 and State Highway 105. The facility is located on a 150-acre parcel on the northern bank of the St. Johns River.

1.2. The Integrated Pest Management Plan

1.2.1. Scope

The NS Mayport Integrated Pest Management Plan (IPMP) is a long-range, comprehensive planning and operational document that establishes the strategy and methods for conducting a safe, effective, and environmentally sound Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program. The IPMP covers all pest

1-2 management and pesticide-related activities conducted by civilian and military DoD personnel and commercial contractors within all functional areas of NS Mayport. A glossary of acronyms used in this document is found in Appendix C.

1.2.2. Authority

OPNAVINST 6250.4C and OPNAVINST 5090.1C, Chapter 17 require that all Navy installations develop and implement an IPMP in accordance to the guidelines. The IPMP will detail all aspects of pesticide management including administration, procurement, contract services, storage, disposal, safety, reporting, vehicles, Integrated Pest Management (IPM), and applicable laws and regulations.

1.2.3. DoD Measures of Merit

This Plan provides the framework for NS Mayport to meet the DoD’s annual goals or measures of merit (MoM) set by the Armed Forces Pest Management Board. Per DoDI 4150.07, the MoMs are:

Goal 1. 100% of DoD installations will have current pest management plans. NS Mayport helps meet this goal by the implementation (by Commanding Officer signature) of this Plan.

Goal 2. Maintain a 52% pesticide use reduction from the original 1993 baseline. NS Mayport provides data for this MoM through the reporting requirement (Section 2.4).

Goal 3. 100% of all DoD pesticide applicators and contracted employees will be appropriately certified. NS Mayport ensures proper certification of all applicators through regular verification and maintains a list of certifications in Appendix G of this Plan. See section 2.5 for training and certification requirements.

1.2.4. Using the IPMP

The IPMP provides a comprehensive overview of pest management and pesticide-related operations on NS Mayport. 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 Plan is provided in a hard copy and electronic form.

1.2.4.1. Core

Chapter 1. Introduction: Provides an overview of the installation pest management program, its objectives, and its requirements.

1.2.5. IPMP Implementation

The IPMP must be reviewed and approved by installation stakeholders and Professional Pest Management Consultants (PPMCs) from Naval Facilities Engineering Command Atlantic (NAVFAC Atlantic) and Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED). The IPMP is implemented upon the signature of the installation Commanding Officer. The Integrated Pest Management Coordinator (IPMC) has the task of implementing, coordinating and executing the IPMP among each of the functional areas of the installation.

1.2.6. IPMP Maintenance

Once the IPMP has been developed and implemented, it must be reviewed annually and updated as necessary. The installation IPMC is responsible for maintaining the IPMP, soliciting feedback from stakeholders prior to annual and periodic reviews, and for notifying stakeholders of all significant updates and changes to the IPMP and the base pest management contract. The IPMP should be rewritten every 5 years to reflect new contracts, personnel, pest management practices, and regulatory changes.

1-5

The prevention of pest interference with operation through:

o Bird and wildlife management at the airfield, o Weed control at the airfield and around the fuel tanks, o Rodent and other pest management around the piers.

The prevention of pest-related health and safety problems through:

o Mosquito surveillance and control, o Tick surveillance and control, o Cockroach surveillance in eating areas, o Rodent surveillance in eating areas, and o Bee, wasp, and hornet surveillance and control.

The protection of government real property and materiel through:

o Termite and other wood-destroying insect surveillance and control, and o Decay fungi surveillance and control.

The prevention of degradation and preservation of integrity of the natural resources through:

o Invasive species management

The prevention of morale problems through:

o Insect and other pest surveillance and control in eating, working, and living areas.

The protection of recreational areas through:

o Turf disease, insect, and weed surveillance and control, and o Ornamental disease and insect surveillance and control.

1.3.3. Program Requirements

1.3.3.1. Administration

Proper administration of the pest management program ensures accountability and documentation through planning, record keeping, reporting, training, pesticide and contract approval, and regulatory compliance. Table 1-2 outlines the pest management administrative program requirements.

1.3.3.2. Operations

Operations are the day-to-day management of pests through pesticides and non-chemical means. Each of these operations must meet various requirements that are listed and described in Table 1-3. Pest management on NS Mayport includes the following categories of operations:

Ornamental and turf - Control and management of pests of landscape plants and turf, including arthropods, fungi, and weeds.

Right-of-way - Control and management of vegetation along roadways and railways. It also includes vegetation control near fuel farms to reduce fire risk and along fence lines to enhance security.

Aquatic Weed Control - Control of vegetation in ponds and ditches.

Industrial, Institutional, Structural, and Health-Related - Control and management of pests in and around buildings. Pests may include cockroaches, termites, bees, venomous animals, stored product insects, rodents, and feral animals.

Public Health – Surveillance, control and management of human and animal disease vectors such as rodents, mosquitoes, ticks, flies, and fleas.

Nuisance Pest Control - Control of insect pests that are a nuisance or annoyance to base personnel but do not present a health risk.

Invasive weeds - Removal of non-native species of plants that are detrimental to native plant and animal habitats.

Vertebrate Control - Control of animal predators that prey upon endangered or threatened animals and their habitats, or infest food and material storage.
