An EMS is an overall management system that includes organizational structure, planning activities, responsibilities, practices, procedures, processes, and resources for developing, implementing, achieving, reviewing, and maintaining the environmental policy of an organization. The DLA DS EMS is designed to ensure that all personnel, including contract personnel, whose work activities can cause real or potential significant environmental impact, are aware of how their work supports the EMS and are competent to perform their roles, responsibilities and authorities while supporting the DLA DS mission. The DLA DS EMS program is explained in the agency EMS Core Instruction. Site supplements may detail information required by EMS at a local level such as local, state and host environmental regulations as well as local emergency procedures and operating procedures unique to the location. Site supplements also contain information concerning the local interaction between the appropriate DLA DS tenant facility and the DoD/DLA host facility EMS program. Contractors and their personnel are required to be aware that each appropriate DLA DS facility has an EMS and to be aware of EMS policies to perform work and/or gain access to an installation. Each DLA DS facility maintains EMS awareness posters that identify the DLA DS Environmental Management Representative (EMR) and host facility EMR for specific guidance concerning an individual facility’s EMS program. Contractors may request current copies of EMS information identified in this Section by contacting the local COR.
