1 US ARMY GARRISON FORT LEE, VA ANNUAL MI-EMS AWARENESS TRAINING MISSION INTEGRATION- ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 1

2 What is an EMS? An Environmental Management System (EMS) is a business process that integrates sustainable practices into the overall management (mission) of an organization Promoted by the Environmental Management Division (EMD) Integrates environmental S-T-E-W-A-R-D-S into the overall management of an installation Encourages continual improvement 2

3 Why Does Fort Lee Need An EMS? For Fort Lee to continue to meet Army mission requirements, the installation must adopt and incorporate sustainable business practices: Preserves and conserves resources, and the environment Saves the installation money, while strengthening the community Standardizes our programs, with completion of the mission Required by E.O Planning for Federal Sustainability in the Next Decade and Fort Lee Policy#07-05 MI-EMS Policy 3

4 Why Mission Integration-EMS? Fort Lee s EMS integrates environmental management into mission requirements and focuses on community, readiness, sustainability and environmental compliance: Mission Integration - Environmental Management System (MI-EMS) 4

5 Fort Lee MI-EMS Policy Policy Mission Integrated- Environmental Management System (MI- EMS) Policy ensures we understand: MI-EMS is the responsibility of everyone at Fort Lee Management of Fort Lee s Environmental Risks by knowing our Activities, Aspects and Impacts and assisting in meeting our Objectives and Targets How to implement continual improvement and recognize when improvement is needed at all levels How to ensure MI-EMS efforts are effective by administrating audits and management review 5

6 Environmental Policy Acronym S-T-E-W-A-R-D-S Strive to fully integrate environmental requirements into our standard work practices and procedures, so environmental awareness and compliance are part of the way we conduct business Track and review specific environmental goals. Establish specific measures of performance to assist in assessing system effectiveness Ensure compliance with all applicable environmental policies, laws and other regulations Work to continually assess activities, products and services that can cause an impact on the environment. Identify significant environmental impacts and ensure that they are considered when establishing objectives and targets in our environmental management programs Actively pursue continual improvement in organizational environmental management systems Recognize potential sources of pollution prevention (P2) & meet or exceed Army goals for P2 Disseminate the Mission Integration - Environmental Management System policy to the widest extent possible, reaching the entire Fort Lee Community Sustain a campaign quality Army in war and peace Military, Civilians, and Contractors are the S-T-E-W-A-R-D-S for MI-EMS 6

7 Process of Continual Improvement of EMS (Plan-Do-Check-Act) FL Policy Mission Integrated/Environmental Management System (MI-EMS) Policy Management Review Planning Checking & Corrective Action Implementation & Control Mission Priorities 7

8 YOU, the S-T-E-W-A-R-D-S, Can Be Part of The Planning A multi-disciplinary team called a Cross-Functional Team evaluates Fort Lee activities, products, services, and the aspects within said activities, products, and services. This course of action is to minimize or avoid the impacts to our resources. The Cross-Functional Team examines aspects to diminish environmental impacts by creating : Objectives long-term actions that are developed Targets short-term actions that are set to achieve the objectives 8

9 PLAN - MI-EMS Significant Aspects/Impacts Calendar Year 2017 (CY17) Activity Aspect Impact Any major installation process undertaken to achieve the mission. A task or operation generally occurring with in the EMS fence-line Elements of an organization s activities, products, and services that can interact with the environment Any change to the environment, whether adverse or beneficial, wholly or partially resulting from an organization s aspect Building Management Energy Consumption Air Pollution Building Management Water Consumption Water Quality Hazardous Waste Management Hazardous Waste Management Hazardous Waste Disposal Unintentional Releases/Spills Soil/Water/Air Pollution Soil/Water/Air Pollution Vehicle Management/Use Air Emissions Air Pollution Food Activity/Disposal Non-Hazardous Waste Soil/Water/Air Pollution 9

(AR 350-1) Environmental Compliance Officers and Hazardous Waste Coordinators appointed and trained Installation-wide, >50% of the required units. (AR 200-1) POL Management - Strive for zero reportable releases annually Reduce Non-Hazardous Solid Waste & Hazardous Solid Waste- Reduce solid waste by increasing the diversion percentage to 52% and reduce hazardous waste by increasing the diversion rate from previous year. (FY16 combined diversion was 50%) 10

11 DO - How do you implement controls that minimize environmental risks? Organizations and Units shall create SOPs, Plans, Policies, etc. and ensure these controls are followed 11

25 A Few Ways YOU (STEWARDS) Provide Sustainability and Environmental Management Leaks - Request repairs for all water leaks or any flowing water that is abnormal. Thermostats - Do not tamper with or change thermostats fuel-saving temperature settings. They are set to work with engineered systems, i.e. ventilation, air conditioning and heating systems. If thermostats are changed not only is it a waste of energy but also effects the indoor building health.
