Environmental Considerations in all Unit Operations

Environmental Considerations in all Unit Operations

Deployed

• Force Health Protection (Base Camps)

• Environmental Protection of air, water, land

Environmental Team TrainingEnvironmental Team Training


Environmental OfficerEnvironmental Officer

• Appointment Orders

• Training

• Coordinates the unit environmental program for the commander

• Coordination in planning and risk assessments

• Should also have an alternate


SPILL DRILLSPILL DRILL

This is the basic SPILL DRILLbut every unit should have a tailored plan depending on the liquid hazards found in the unit.


Installation Environmental Management System

Installation Environmental Management System

• Recycling

• Energy and Water Conservation

• Waste Minimization

• Deconstruction of old structures

• Alternative transportation

• Alternative energy sources



• Integrate environmental considerations in pre-deployment.


Pre-DeploymentPre-Deployment

In Pre-deployment, environmental considerations should be included in:

- Mission analysis

- Training

- Logistics planning


Mission AnalysisMission Analysis Information gathering on specific countries

within the AO

Include environmental considerations in risk assessment for conducting operations

Integration of environmental considerations into specific plans (Laws, treaties, regulations, FGS; critical habitats; sensitive sites; environmental health hazards; types of industries, agriculture, natural resources present)


Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield

Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield

• Environmental considerations may include:– Potential weapons of mass destruction sites

– Potential targets that the enemy may attack to inflict environmental damage or health hazards

– Industrial factories that emit, produce, or store Toxic Industrial Materials (TIMS)

– Location of oil and gas pipelines

– Known sites of contamination

– Endangered species or critical habitats

– Environmentally sensitive areas– Historic, cultural, or religious sites or structures


Composite Risk Management Process

Composite Risk Management Process

Environmental risk assessment is a component of CRM and is used to estimate the impact of unit activities on the environment.

It assists commanders in complying with regulatory and legal requirements and operating within the higher commanders’ intent.

Check Annex L in Joint OPORDs/OPLANs or Appendix 6 to Engineer Annex G in OPORDs. (Example in FM 3-34.5)


Environmental Hazard and Risk

RelationshipEnvironmental Hazard and Risk

Relationship

• Identify the hazard

• Assess the hazard• Develop controls and make decisions• Implement controls• Supervise and evaluate

Tactical and accidental risks

METT-TC hazards………Environmental hazards


Environmental TrainingEnvironmental Training

• Pre-deployment training (Waste Management)

• Educational controls developed during the Composite Risk Management process

• Legally required training and refreshers

(This class is an example)


Logistics PlanningLogistics Planning

• Procurement– Haz Materials

– Personal Protective

Equipment (PPE)

– Spill kits

• Storage

• Transportation



• Integrate environmental considerations in deployment.


TransportationTransportation

• Preparing vehicles and equipment for shipping (Unit Movement Officer)

• Identifying Hazardous Material (HM)/Hazardous Waste (HW)

• HM must be packaged and labeled IAW SOP or DoD regulations (may include special UN requirements).

• Need a HAZMAT Certified person to certify loads.

• Ensure correct documentation is on hand (manifests).



• Integrate environmental considerations in full spectrum operations.


Full Spectrum OperationsFull Spectrum Operations• Military operations cause significant impacts on

the environment• Some of the impact is unavoidable• Commanders must seek to minimize impacts• Reduction and mitigation of environmental

damage serves to support US goals• Protecting the environment and health of military

and civilian personnel reduces:– Long term reconstruction or remediation and

medical costs– Supports information operations– Aligns with US national values– May solicit local support

• Integrate environmental considerations for sustainment.


SustainmentSustainment• The military’s concern for environmental considerations

must extend throughout the operation.

• As U.S. forces establish base camps, continue to pursue combat operations, and conduct security operations; environmental considerations must be integrated into plans and daily operations.


Base Camp OperationsBase Camp Operations

• Establishing base camps and occupying existing facilities such as ports and airfields requires extensive integration of environmental considerations.

• Unit environmental officers play an important role for the commander in establishing waste management plans.

• Hazardous materials handling/storage is a key issue.

• Waste collection, storage and disposal requires deliberate planning and innovative solutions.


Any material, including waste, that may pose an unreasonable risk to health, safety, property, or the environment.

Material Safety Data SheetsMaterial Safety Data Sheets


Use non-hazardous substitutes when possible.

Have an MSDS for every HM. Do not mix different HM together. Do not stockpile HM. Consolidate storage of HM. Inspect HM storage areas weekly. Prevent spills. Ensure availability of PPE. Follow first in, first out rule. Implement shelf life program. Maintain an inventory list.

General Rules for Managing HMGeneral Rules for Managing HM


Ensure labels are legible. Ensure lids are tight, containers are marked,

labeled and visible to the observer. Provide secondary containment. Store flammable and reactive materials IAW

regulations away from property line. Secure containers.

General Rules for Managing HM (continued)

General Rules for Managing HM (continued)


There are three ways a waste can be regulated as hazardous:

• Meets the definition of one or more of the hazardous waste characteristics. The four characteristics are ignitable, corrosive, reactive and toxic.

• Is listed by EPA as a hazardous waste in 40 CFR 261.

• Prior knowledge, e.g. testing

Moving vehicles, equipment, and material to the home station are subject to the same requirements as initial deployment.

Equipment must be inspected, and personnel must address proper safety, legal, and administrative issues.

Plan to prevent the transport of prohibited materials which include:– War trophies

– Possible biological contaminants such as foreign plants and insects.

– Hazardous materials or hazardous wastes



• Integrate environmental considerations in redeployment.


RedeploymentRedeployment• As military forces redeploy, they must address

large quantities of waste and materials.

• In some cases, forces may hand over material to replacement units or to the local government.

• Forces may need to clean up any contamination resulting from the activities of US forces.

• Planners must include the time, forces, and material resources in their redeployment planning.


• Documents the condition of the site when we turn it back over to the host nation.

– Known or suspected environmental contamination

– Location of buried wastes– Digital photographs– Detailed information

• Identifies remediation requirements.– Intent to restore conditions

• Intention: Give it back as good or better than you found it.
