Environmental Protection
Abstract
Many environmental laws, regulations, and policies impose restrictions on Navy vessels, aircraft, and facilities that interfere with operations and/or increase the cost of operations. The Navy must be able to conduct its national security mission in compliance with applicable environmental requirements in the U.S. and abroad without compromising performance, safety, or health, while simultaneously minimizing the cost of compliance. This program develops and evaluates processes, hardware, systems, and operational procedures that will allow the Navy to operate in U.S., foreign, and international waters, air, space, and land areas while complying with environmental laws, regulations, Executive Orders, policies and international agreements. The projects for this program element support the Navy's compliance with the (a) Clean Water Act, (b) Act to Prevent Pollution from Ships, (c) International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL 73/78), (d) DoD 4715.6 R1, Regulations on Vessels Owned or Operated by the Department of Defense, (e) OPNAVINST 5090.1B (CH-4), Environmental and Natural Resources Program Manual, (f) 40 CFR Part 9 and Chapter VII (Uniform National Discharge Standards [UNDS] Phase I Standard), (g) Executive Order (EO) 13148, Greening the Government Through Leadership in Environmental Management, (h) Nonindigenous Aquatic Nuisance Prevention and Control Act of 1990, (i) National Invasive Species Act of 1996, (j) 33 CFR 151 Subpart D-Ballast Water Management for Control of Nonindigenous Species in Waters of the United States, (k) Clean Air Act, (l) Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, (m) Executive Order (EO) 13423 Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management of 24 January, 2007, (n) NAVSEANOTE 5400, NAVSEA Warranted Technical Authorities, (o) NAVSEAINST 5400.97B, Virtual SYSCOM Engineering and Technical Authority Policy, (p) NSWCCD-63-TM-2005/9, Clean Ballast Engineering Analysis Phase II, (q) Northwest Environmental Advocates v. EPA, No. 03-05760, Order Granting Plaintiffs' Motion for Permanent Injunctive Relief at 18 (N.D. Cal. Sept. 18, 2006), (r) Environmental Requirements and Goals for Navy Systems Acquisition, CNO (N4) Memorandum 5090 Ser N4/5U890259 of 20 April 2005, (s) International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments, 31 Feb 2004. References (a) through (m) establish Level I environmental protection requirements for Navy shipboard systems, operations, and discharges in the areas of liquid wastes, hazardous materials, solid wastes, and other significant afloat environmental concerns. References (n) and (o) establish NAVSEA Technical Authority responsibilities for Ship Environmental Engineering. Project 0401 supports RDT&E efforts that enable Navy ships and submarines to comply with laws, regulations, and policies in six major areas: (1) Liquid Wastes, (2) UNDS Rulemaking, (3) Hazardous Materials and Pollution Prevention, (4) Hull Antifouling Paints, (5) Technical Authority, and (6) Ballast Water Exchange Improvements. An FY10 new start, Ballast Water Exchange Improvements, will provide engineering solutions for managing ballast water discharges to mitigate the transport and release of non-indigenous species. Project 0817 supports RDT&E to develop and validate technologies to enable Navy facilities to comply with environmental laws, regulations, and policies in a cost-effective manner. Project 9204 supports RDT&E to develop planning and monitoring tools for minimizing Fleet contacts with and potential harassment (physiological and behavior) of marine animals including threatened and endangered species in response to Federal laws and regulations and public scrutiny.
