MEMORANDUM FOR All Picatinny Employees

SUBJECT: Official Policy Statement 200-1, Installation Environmental Management

1. Picatinny Arsenal is committed to an active policy of protecting our environment for all activities. This installation environmental policy applies to all government and contractor employees, to include tenants that work at Picatinny. This policy is based on our commitment to the following:

Procurement requirements

2. To accomplish these objectives, we have implemented an environmental management system in conformance with the International Standard Organization (ISO) model known as the ISO 14001 standard. We must comply with all applicable environmental laws, regulations and policies when impacting the various areas of our environment.

3. The Environmental Affairs Division (EAD) is responsible with providing environmental guidance and developing procedures to help ensure compliance with not just the Army's requirements, but also Federal and State environmental laws. The EAD will conduct an annual Environmental Performance Assessment. Deficiencies and Corrective actions will be briefed to senior leadership at the Environmental Quality Control Committee (EQCC). This Division is the point of contact with the State and Federal environmental regulatory agencies, for actions performed on this base affecting the environment. As part of this requirement, it is essential that all actions required for projects impacting the environment, are coordinated through an organizational environmental officer (for those organizations that have one assigned). Additionally these projects must be submitted through the Picatinny Environmental Management System (PEMS) web site, accessible through the Garrison web page. All contracts which impact the installation from an environmental perspective must also be included under our EMS as well. These contracts must address our EMS and goals and objectives as well as compliance with environmental laws, regulations and policies. This installation will provide required training to help ensure the work force is aware of their responsibilities to the environment.

4. All personnel on the installation will comply with the Installation Environmental Bulletin.

5. Proper environmental management is the responsibility of all personnel. Picatinny is committed to continual improvement of our environmental management system, implementation of an aggressive pollution prevention program and restoration through encouragement and involvement of all employees. Proper environmental management is part of doing business here at Picatinny Arsenal.

6. The proponent for this policy is the Environmental Affairs Division of Public Works, IMPI-PWE, Mr. Thomas J. Solecki at extension 45818 or Mr. Joseph P. Clark, at extension 45951.
