Chapter 1 Introduction

1-1. Purpose This regulation implements local, state and federal environmental regulations at Fort Hood. Whenever required, the Directorate of Public Works (DPW) Environmental Division will provide appropriate guidance pertinent to significant changes in environmental policy and procedures, using the most appropriate media.

a. Mission. The fundamental mission of Fort Hood is to conduct readiness training and provide combat-ready forces to deploy, fight, and win worldwide. A relationship exists between the mission and the environment. The primary use of land, encompassing this installation, is for training military forces. Environmental compliance is necessary to preserve the land with its natural and cultural resources according to state and federal requirements. Keep in mind that this land belongs to the people of the United States of America. The government must exercise stewardship in every action taken within Fort Hood.

b. Policies. This regulation prescribes policies, assigns responsibilities, and details training requirements for protection of the environment, preservation and conservation of natural and cultural resources, management of hazardous materials (HAZMAT) and used products, and hazardous waste (HAZWASTE) minimization and disposition.

Environmental laws and regulations, including this publication, are dynamic policies;

and our environmental management system (EMS) is constantly evolving as a result of new technologies and new regulatory requirements.

c. Provisions. This regulation does not supersede the provisions of Army Regulation (AR) 40-13 (Radiological Advisory Medical Teams), AR 50-6 (Nuclear and Chemical Weapons Materiel Chemical Surety.) AR 50-5 (Nuclear Surety), AR 360-1 (The Army Public Affairs Program), AR 385-10 (Army Safety Program), or guidelines in the III Corps and Fort Hood Nuclear Chemical Accident Incident Control Plan. This regulation makes no provisions for radioactive incidents described in Technical Manual (TM) 3-261 (Handling and Disposal of Unwanted Radioactive Material).

d. Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Personnel subject to the UCMJ who fail to comply with paragraphs 2-1(b), 3-1(b), 4-1(b), 5-1(b), 6-1(b), 7-1(b), 8-1(b) and 9-1(b) are subject to punishment under the UCMJ, as well as to adverse administrative action and other adverse action authorized by applicable sections of the United States Code (USC) or federal regulations. Paragraphs 2-1(b), 3-1(b), 4-1(b), 5-1(b), 6-1(b), 7-1(b), 8- 8-1(b) and 9-1(b) are fully effective at all times, and a violation of any paragraph is separately punishable as a violation of a lawful general regulation under Article 92, UCMJ (UCMJ, Art 92). These paragraphs and other provisions of this regulation may also be the basis for a commissioned, warrant, or non-commissioned officer to issue a lawful order to a Soldier. Penalties for violations of the cited provisions of this regulation, and orders issued based on these and other provisions of this regulation include the full range of statutory and regulatory sanctions. Civilian employees of the federal government are subject to administrative sanctions and potentially federal and state prosecution. All persons on Fort Hood are subject to prosecution or civil fines, imposed by civilian authorities, for violations of applicable state and federal, environmental and historic preservation statutes.

Chapter 3 Water Resource Management Program

3-1. Scope

a. Introduction. This chapter defines established programs on Fort Hood used to effectively manage the installation's water resources. American Water has the responsibility of providing a continuous supply of safe drinking water, but it is important for all military and civilian personnel to comply with the requirements of these programs to safeguard both our drinking water systems and sources of supply. Pollution present in wastewater discharges or storm water runoff can endanger those supplies, harm the environment, put public health at risk, and damage training resources vital to Fort Hood's mission.

b. Punitive provisions.

(1) Persons on the Fort Hood military installation will not:

III CORPS & FH REG 200-1 15 APRIL 2014 7

(a) Violate applicable federal or state permits or statutes by knowingly discharging or causing the discharge of any pollutant into Fort Hood’s surface waters, groundwater, drainage ditches, streambeds or on the ground.

(b) Use unapproved chemicals, detergents, solvents, or cleaning agents at vehicle wash racks.

(c) Act in violation of the Clean Water Act (CWA) of 1972, the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) of 1974, or other state or federal water quality laws.

(2) Military personnel may be prosecuted under the UCMJ for violations of this paragraph. Civilian employees of the federal government are subject to administrative sanctions and potentially federal and state prosecution.

(3) Everyone, including individuals subject to the UCMJ, is subject to applicable federal and state water quality laws. Criminal violations of the CWA are punishable by fines up to $1,000,000 and imprisonment for up to 15 years.

(4) Applicable laws:

(a) The CWA requires that states identify sources of pollution that cause water bodies to fail to meet state water quality standards. States are required to develop plans to address and clean up these sources of pollution.

(b) The SDWA was developed to protect public health. The act establishes uniform standards for drinking water, including requirements for the physical, chemical, bacteriological, and radiological characterization of drinking water supplies.

3-2. Policy Fort Hood will comply with legally applicable federal, state, and local requirements regarding water resources management. Fort Hood promotes the establishment of management plans to support these requirements. All personnel on Fort Hood are responsible for conserving water. Fort Hood will:

a. Comply with storm water and wastewater permits.

b. Provide drinking water that meets or exceeds applicable laws and regulations.

c. Conserve all water resources.

d. Control or eliminate sources of pollutants and contaminants (e.g., sediment, HAZMAT) that could impair water resources.

e. Work with regional authorities in the development and implementation of water resource initiatives.

f. Use non-point source (e.g., storm water runoff, soil erosion) control measures in construction, facility operations, and land management activities.

3-3. Major program requirements

a. Potable water.

(1) The drinking water supplied to South Fort Hood and the Belton Lake Outdoor Recreation Area is purchased from Bell County Water Control and Improvement District (BCWCID) No. 1. Drinking water supplied to North Fort Hood is purchased from Gatesville Regional Water Supply, operated by the city of Gatesville. American Water is responsible for the overall operation, maintenance, repair, water quality testing and recordkeeping for the public water distribution systems on Fort Hood. American Water is responsible for some of the water quality testing, recordkeeping and reporting requirements, in addition to, overseeing compliance with federal, state, local and Army drinking water regulations. Table C-1 lists telephone numbers.

(2) DPW Engineering Division, Services Branch, oversees the installation’s cross-connection control program, which is used to help ensure the security and safety of our drinking water storage and distribution system. A cross-connection is any physical link of pipes or hoses between the potable water supply and a line, device, or location that contains a potential contaminant. Garden hoses are the most common source of such problems, since they can be easily connected to the potable water supply and used for a variety of potentially dangerous applications. All personnel on the installation will use care to keep unattended hoses out of non-potable water sources such as radiators, puddles, tanks, pools, etc. Attachment of chemical sprayers to garden hoses must be done with extreme caution, must be disconnected when not in use, and must not be left unattended. Backflow prevention, assembly, installation, testing, and maintenance services are available from the DPW Engineering Division.

(a) All backflow prevention assemblies will be tested upon installation by a certified backflow prevention assembly tester and certified to operate within specifications.

Backflow prevention assemblies, which are installed to provide protection against potential health hazards, must be tested and certified annually to operate within specifications. The test must be conducted by a certified backflow prevention assembly tester.

(b) Original forms of test, repairs, and overhaul must be submitted to DPW Engineering Division, Services Branch, within five working days, for each backflow prevention assembly.

(c) No backflow prevention assembly or device will be removed, relocated, disassembled, or substituted with another device without the approval of DPW Engineering Division, Services Branch.

(d) Test gauges, used for backflow prevention assembly testing, must be calibrated annually according to the American Water Works Association’s (AWWA) recommended practice for backflow prevention and cross-connection control (manual M14, current edition), or the University of Southern California manual of cross-connection control (current edition). The original calibration form must be submitted to DPW Engineering Division, Services Branch, within five working days after calibration.

(e) A certified backflow prevention assembly tester must hold a current endorsement from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).

(3) The DPW Engineering Division oversees the installation’s customer service inspection program, which helps ensure that a minimum level of protection from cross-connections and potential sources of lead are provided to our water supply.

(a) A customer service inspection certificate shall be completed prior to providing continuous water service to new construction on any existing service. A customer service inspection (CSI) of water distribution facilities is required for new construction or after any material improvement or addition to the potable water plumbing of a facility by 30 TAC 290.46(j) and Section 01 35 13 Special Project Procedures for Fort Hood.

(b) Plumbing inspectors and water supply protection specialists that have been licensed by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners, or personnel who have received a license from the TCEQ, are authorized to conduct CSIs.

(4) The following procedures are required to be followed when installing new potable water mains:

III CORPS & FH REG 200-1 15 APRIL 2014 9

(a) Newly constructed potable water mains are required to be installed and disinfected according to AWWA standard C-651-05.

(b) For every 1,000 feet (307 meters) of newly installed water main, a bacteriological sample must be collected and a negative result found prior to placing the main into service. Copies of all sampling and test analysis results must be turned in to the DPW Engineering Division as soon as possible after they are available.

(5) All Soldiers, Civilians, and contractors must implement water conservation measures as outlined in Fort Hood’s Water Conservation Plan and Water Shortage Contingency Plan.

b. Wastewater.

(1) All units or other personnel will inspect visible portions of the wastewater and storm sewers, drains, and ditches periodically for material condition, evidence of improper operation (e.g., pooling of water, dumping of pollutants, etc.), and the presence of obstructions, trash, soil erosion, or soil buildup. Repair minor soil ruts and remove obstructions or trash (including grass clippings) within the unit’s capabilities.

Report damage and major soil erosion or obstructions to the DPW Maintenance Division.

(2) Oil-water separators (OWS) are designed to provide safe containment for small amounts of oil products and sediments. The following procedures must be adhered to for activities that involve OWS:

Figure 3-1. Typical oil-water separator (OWS) design

(a) Inspect the OWS daily (visual) and monthly (documented), removing trash and debris. During these inspections, observe for 1-inch thickness of oil and/or 25 percent debris on the bottom of the OWS. If any of these conditions exist, contact DPW Environmental Pollution Prevention (P2) Services to schedule a service appointment.

See Table C-1 for the telephone number.

(b) Do not dump oil or any other material, including cleaners, detergents, fuels, antifreeze, or any other HAZMAT, trash or soil, directly into an OWS or into the drain leading to the OWS.

(c) Do not wash spills into the OWS. Contain and clean up spills immediately.

(d) Do not steam clean or pressure wash baffles, walls or weirs in the OWS.

(3) Washing military vehicles must be conducted at a tactical vehicle wash facility or an approved wash rack. On-post Family housing residents may wash privately owned vehicles (POVs) at their own residence according to the requirements of III Corps and Fort Hood Regulation 420-37 (Installation Housing Community Standards).

(a) Do not allow trash or other debris to enter the OWS. Store clean soil in a manner that protects it from runoff due to rain or wind. Soil collected at unit wash racks will be turned in to the bio-site facility. Do not pile soil against fences, as this practice allows potential contaminants to escape from the site and causes damage to fences and landscaping.

(b) Turn off all water sources when not in use for cleaning.

(c) Report fuels in the OWS to DPW Environmental P2 Services. Table C-1 lists telephone numbers.

(d) Call the DPW Work Order Section to request repairs for the OWS or to report water leaks. Call the DPW Environmental P2 Services for removal of oil or sediment.

(4) Cleaning compounds and equipment cleaning:

(a) Do not use chemicals, detergents, or solvents at vehicle wash racks, except for approved low-emulsion cleaning agents. Use of any other chemicals, detergents or solvents at vehicle wash racks is prohibited and could result in a violation of Fort Hood’s wastewater discharge permits, Texas state law, and federal laws such as the CWA.

Violators of these regulations may be subject to significant fines and/or criminal prosecution.

(b) Do not apply these cleaning agents in concentrations above manufacturer recommendations. Generally, steam cleaning will do an adequate job of degreasing without the use of hazardous chemicals and without causing environmental incidents.

(c) Do not operate power washers without an OWS to process wastewater.

(d) Vehicles, equipment, or any other items contaminated or potentially contaminated with petroleum, oils and lubricants (POL) products must be cleaned at a wash rack with an OWS.

(e) The DPW Environmental Division must approve all proposed new sources of wastewater discharges.

c. Storm water.

(1) Industrial storm water discharge permit. There are three classifications for storm water: industrial, municipal and construction.

(a) Fort Hood has a general permit for industrial facilities that authorizes them to discharge storm water into state waters. Industrial activities identified on Fort Hood include landfills, fill dirt pits, scrap recycling facilities, land transportation, warehousing, and aircraft maintenance. Contact DPW Environmental Division if you have questions concerning these requirements.

(b) The industrial storm water permit requires that all appropriate employees at industrial facilities receive storm water P2 training on an annually.

III CORPS & FH REG 200-1 15 APRIL 2014 11

(2) Municipal storm water discharge permit. Polluted storm water runoff is often transported to a municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) and ultimately discharged into local rivers and streams without treatment. Fort Hood’s MS4 permit requires the installation to improve the waterways by reducing the quantity of pollutants that enter the storm water.

(a) Permit coverage. Fort Hood is permitted to discharge storm water to surface waters of the state under the Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES), general permit No. TXR040000. Fort Hood has developed and implemented a Storm Water Management Program (SWMP). The intent of the Fort Hood SWMP is to reduce the discharge of pollutants to the “maximum extent practicable,” to protect water quality, and to satisfy the water quality requirements of the CWA of 1972. The SWMP must be adhered to by all Soldiers, civilians, and contractors on Fort Hood.

(b) All Soldiers, civilians, and contractors are prohibited from willingly discharging pollutants into the MS4 system, including, but not limited to:

(i) Oil, grease and other vehicle fluids from roadways, driveways, and parking lots.

(ii) Pesticides, fertilizers, and grass clippings.

(iii) Sediment from construction sites or sediment from military vehicles at motor pools.

(iv) Trash and debris, such as cigarette butts, paper wrappers, and plastic bottles.

(v) Contaminated wash water containing detergents from activities such as industrial or commercial washing of floors, vehicles, and buildings.

(vi) Chlorinated water or backwash water from swimming pools.

(vii) Hyperchlorinated water from line flushing and/or testing.

(c) These pollutants discourage recreational use of water resources, contaminate drinking water supplies, and interfere with, or possibly damage habitats for fish, other aquatic organisms, wildlife, and native vegetation.

(d) The following actions will facilitate the reduction and elimination of pollutants:

(i) Reduce leaks from vehicles by following proper preventive maintenance checks and services.

(ii) When in the cantonment area and parked for significant periods of time, operators of all military vehicles must use drip pads or drip pans.

(iii) When on training ranges, operators of military vehicles should use drip pads or pans when their use does not interfere with training.

(iv) Inspect the OWS frequently to keep it functioning properly.

(v) Use pesticides and fertilizers sparingly according to the manufacturer’s label, and do not allow products to enter drainage ditches or roads.

(vi) Sweep up grass clippings and soil or sediment; do not wash them into drainage ditches or roads.

(vii) Remove trash and debris from drainage ditches and the OWS, and dispose of properly.

(viii) Dispose of wastewater (e.g., mop bucket water) properly using mop sinks or other drains that are plumbed to the sanitary sewer. Wastewater (excluding fats, oils, grease and food particles) from food preparation must be disposed of into the sanitary sewer system when inside the cantonment, or into an approved soakage pit on ranges.

(ix) Dechlorinate all superchlorinated water before draining or discharging to the environment.

12 III CORPS & FH REG 200-1 15 APRIL 2014

(x) Activities conducting power washing or saw cutting activities shall follow established procedures.

(xi) Activities must implement good housekeeping and best management practices (BMPs) for the following municipal operations: park and open space maintenance;

street, road, or highway maintenance; fleet and building maintenance; storm water system maintenance; new construction and land disturbance; municipal parking lots;

vehicle and equipment maintenance and storage yards; waste transfer stations; and salt/sand storage locations.

(3) Construction General Permit (CGP). Construction site operators are required to get authorization to discharge storm water from their site under CGP No. TXR150000.

Construction activities that require CGP coverage are land disturbances (clearing, grading, excavating, stockpiling, or similar soil disturbing activities) of one acre (.405 hectares) or more, or those located within a common plan of development of one acre (.405 hectares) or more in size. Construction site operators must meet the requirements of the construction site storm water inspection program, memorandum of instruction (MOI) and the installation design guide (IDG). Operators requiring coverage under the CGP must complete the following before construction activities commence on Fort Hood:

(a) Complete and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) prior to beginning any land disturbing activities. Submit the SWPPP to DPW Environmental Division for review and approval within five days of receiving the notice to proceed.

(b) Complete, sign, post on-site, and submit copies of any notice of intent (NOI) and/or construction site notice (CSN) to the TCEQ and/or MS4 operators as required by the CGP.

d. Laundry, shower, and water supply points.

(1) All usage of surface water or ground water must be coordinated in writing, using Fort Hood Form 200-X10 (Coordination for Land Excavation and Water Use) with both the DPW Environmental Management Branch and Natural Resources Management Branch (NRMB) at least 30 days in advance. Information required includes proposed use for the water, estimated dates of the operation, estimated amount of water to be used and desired location(s) of the water source. In some cases, a temporary water use permit from the TCEQ may be required. Such permits may take from one to six months to obtain depending on the conservation measures in place and backlog of permits for review. Provide sufficient lead time to accommodate state regulatory requirements. DPW Environmental Division will provide guidance on the disposal of all wastes to include sludge, brine, backwash water, other wastewaters, or treated potable water for military water purification operations.

(2) Training that includes the operation of field laundry, shower, kitchen, or water supply points must not cause a significant impact to the environment. Discharging liquid wastes from field laundries, field showers, and field kitchens into Fort Hood’s surface waters, groundwater, drainage ditches, streambeds, or onto the ground is prohibited.

Wastewater from these units must be collected and discharged into the sanitary sewer system or a soakage pit that does not allow surface runoff. A digging permit, on FH Form 200-X10, must be approved prior to construction of a soakage pit. When the soakage pit is no longer required, it must be filled in, and the area restored to its previous condition.

III CORPS & FH REG 200-1 15 APRIL 2014 13

(3) Do not operate, or position, vehicles and motorized equipment on dams and/or dikes or in drainage ditches.

Chapter 4 Storage Tank Systems and/or Oil and Hazardous Substances Spills
