Report on U.S. Navy Environmental Protection Program

Abstract

This report defines the Environmental Protection Problems of the U.S. Navy, ashore and afloat, and sets forth meaningful RDT and E requirements for each pollution problem area. After listing the major operational problems, the existing state-of-the-art approaches and technology are described, and where applicable, a technical appraisal is rendered for short range and long range solutions. Major Navy problems considered are:shipboard sanitary waste treatment and disposal systems; oil pollution of water resulting from pumping of bilges, deballasting of fuel or cargo oil tanks, pumping of tank slop, accidental and deliberate fuel (JP-5 contamination) spillage; aircraft engine exhaust emissions and noise; and ordnance material (explosive, propellants, pyrotechnics, and Otto fuel) reprocessing and reclamation. Other problem areas included are: industrial, galley, and trash wastes from ships; shore and ship destruction of classified material; ships' anti-fouling paints; aircraft cleaning and stripping; shipboard noise abatement; and waste oil disposal.
