Fiscal Year 2010 | Defense Environmental Programs Annual Report to Congress 1
The Department of Defense (DoD) funds its environmental programs through effective planning, programming, budgeting, and execution processes that allocate financial resources where they are needed. These budget and review processes ensure that the DoD Components—Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and the Defense agencies—identify and request adequate funding to meet their mission, legal, and regulatory environmental requirements.
The DoD Components build their Environmental Restoration budgets from the site level, but they develop their Natural and Cultural Resources, Compliance, and Pollution Prevention budgets from the installation level. These site- and installation-level estimates form the basis of the environmental budget, which is included in the overall Defense budget the President submits to Congress.
Because of the lack of Appropriations Acts, the Comptroller estimated the Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 amounts based on the FY11 President’s Budget request, with an adjustment to match the annualized Continuing Resolution funding level by appropriation.

Fiscal Year 2010 | Defense Environmental Programs Annual Report to Congress2
Program SummaryHere is how the Department of Defense (DoD) obligated
approximately $4.5 billion among the following six
environmental programs in FY10 (Figure 1-1):
• $437.4 million for Natural and Cultural Resources
• $1.5 billion for Compliance
• $91.2 million for Pollution Prevention
• $1.6 billion for Environmental Restoration (ER) at
active installations and Formerly Used Defense Site
(FUDS) properties
• $666.7 million for environmental activities at Base
Realignment and Closure (BRAC) installations
• $255.8 million for Environmental Technology
Although all of DoD’s environmental programs work
toward the same goal—maintaining readiness while
protecting human health and the environment—each
program has a unique focus and different funding needs.
Despite annual funding fluctuations within the different
program areas, the Department’s level of investment
remains stable.
This report shows funding for both nonrecurring (i.e., one-
time projects) and recurring activities. Recurring activities
include routine tasks that an installation conducts in
support of its environmental programs such as:
• Manpower
• Education and training
• Permits and fees
• Sampling, analysis, and monitoring
• Travel and supplies
• Data management and reporting
• Waste disposal
• Updates to environmental management plans
Funding Appropriations for Environmental ProgramsDoD funds its various environmental programs from eight
funding appropriations (Figure 1-2):
• BRAC
• ER
• Defense Working Capital Fund (DWCF)
• Military Construction (MilCon)
• Operations and Maintenance (O&M)
• Procurement (PROC)
• Research, Development, Testing, and Evaluation (RDT&E)
• Other DoD Appropriations
Most funding for DoD’s Natural and Cultural Resources,
Compliance, and Pollution Prevention Programs comes
from the O&M appropriations in the DoD Appropriations
Act. DoD also uses funds obtained through the MilCon,
Military Quality of Life, and Veteran’s Affairs Appropriations
Acts to build necessary facilities like wastewater treatment
plants. Other notable DoD Appropriations Act funding
includes PROC, RDT&E, and the DWCF.
Special programs also provide funding for natural
resources management through the sale of forest
products, the lease of land for agriculture and grazing,
and the sale of licenses for hunting, fishing, and trapping.

Programs) includes funding for environmental activities
at overseas installations. This funding includes activities
such as those required to comply with existing treaties,
laws, and other agreements (i.e., Final Governing
Standards). DoD also funds activities within the Defense
Environmental Restoration Program through the ER
and BRAC accounts. The ER accounts also fund cleanup
activities at active installations and FUDS properties
within the United States and its territories. Separate
BRAC appropriations fund cleanup activities at closing
installations and address closure-related environmental
cleanup, planning, and compliance activities. The
Department funds restoration activities outside the
United States through the Compliance Program.
Natural and Cultural ResourcesDuring FY10, DoD invested:
• $437.4 million for natural and cultural resources
• $87.4 million more compared to FY09
DoD conserves, protects, and restores natural and cultural
resources located on and near its installations, which also
enhances and protects the military’s mission. Recurring
funds for the Natural and Cultural Resources Programs
finance continuous management activities, such as:
• Preparing, implementing, and updating integrated
natural and cultural resources management plans
• Coordinating with conservation regulatory agencies
• Monitoring threatened, endangered, and at-risk species
• Continuing protection of archaeological sites
• Controlling invasive species
• Ongoing erosion control measures
• Completing surveys, inventories, and monitoring
requirements
Nonrecurring activities are divided into two
subcategories: natural resources, and historical and
cultural resources. Examples of nonrecurring natural
resources activities include:
• Consultation activities under the Endangered Species Act
• Mitigation for specific actions
• Habitat restoration or creation
• Volunteer and partnering programs
• Wetlands protection
• Projects identified in Integrated Natural Resources

• Projects identified in Integrated Cultural Resources
Management Plans
The DoD Components obligated $437.4 million for natural
and cultural resources in FY10, $87.4 million more than
FY09 (Figure 1-3). More than 39 percent of these funds was
for nonrecurring, one-time projects. The funding growth
that occurred between FY09 and FY10 was mostly due
to additional Army recurring activities. However, funding
decreased in FY11 because of a reduction in Army activities.
DoD Components have requested $379.8 million for FY12
due to an increase in Army recurring efforts and overall
increases at the Department of the Navy and the Readiness
and Environmental Protection Initiative (REPI) Program.
DoD budgeted $36.9 million in FY10 funding to protect
and manage threatened and endangered species in
compliance with the Endangered Species Act (Figure 1-4).
Chapters 2 and 3 describe the Department’s performance
within the Natural and Cultural Resources Programs,
respectively. Appendix D, Section 1 contains Natural and
Cultural Resources funding data by DoD Component.
ComplianceDuring FY10, DoD invested:
• $1.5 billion for compliance activities
• $20.8 million less compared to FY09
DoD uses these resources to fund recurring and
nonrecurring compliance activities. The Department must
perform recurring activities because they are essential for
DoD to comply with federal, state and local environmental
laws and regulations.
Recurring compliance activities include:
• Sampling and analysis of discharges to
air and water
• Maintaining permits for regulated
environmental activities
• Disposing of regulated wastes
• Maintaining and submitting required environmental
plans and reports
• Conducting environmental self-assessments and audits

Chapter 1: Defense Environmental Funding
DoD also uses these resources to fund nonrecurring
compliance activities such as projects to upgrade
wastewater treatment facilities or to install air pollution
controls to meet existing standards.
DoD obligated $1.5 billion for the Compliance Program
in FY10 (Figure 1-5), consistent with previous years. In
FY10, Defense Logistics Agency military construction
projects at Point Loma Annex and Jacksonville International
Airport contributed to a $60.2 million net increase in CWA
funding (Figure 1-6). However, the Department decreased
nonrecurring funds for other compliance activities
(e.g., radon and asbestos investigations and mitigation,
spill response plans, action to prevent pollution from ships,
and addressing munitions constituents on operational
ranges). In FY08, DoD increased solid waste funding for
Marine Corps military construction projects—like the
landfills at Camp Lejeune and Twentynine Palms. Also,
Safe Drinking Water Act funding more than tripled in
FY09 because of a military construction project at
Camp Pendleton.
Chapter 4 describes DoD’s performance within the
Compliance Program. Appendix D, Section 1 contains
Compliance funding data for each DoD Component.
Pollution PreventionDuring FY10, DoD invested:
• $91.2 million for pollution prevention activities
• $23.1 million less compared to FY09
DoD employs pollution prevention efforts to both
minimize health and safety risks to its personnel and the
residents of nearby communities, and to reduce its
operating and compliance costs. The Pollution Prevention
Program also enhances the military’s operating capacity
by minimizing the infrastructure required to manage
hazardous materials used in support of the Department’s
mission. As a result, DoD’s pollution prevention investments
have the potential to reduce costs Department-wide.

Recurring pollution prevention investments include:
• Manpower
• Education and Training
• Supplies
• Travel
• Data Management
• Toxics Release Inventory
• Other reporting activities
Hazardous material reduction and CWA requirements
are the priorities within the nonrecurring budget. These
nonrecurring projects are significant drivers in reducing
compliance costs. Other nonrecurring activities may
include efforts to prepare and implement an acquisition
strategy for alternative-fuel vehicles (excluding vehicle
purchases or leases) and to convert regular vehicles to use
alternative fuels.
DoD obligated $91.2 million for the Pollution Prevention
Program in FY10 (Figure 1-7), a 20 percent decrease from
the previous year. This decrease is due to fewer Army,
Navy, and Air Force recurring requirements. The FY11
funding estimate increased to $114.8 million primarily
because of an influx in Army and Navy recurring and Air
Force recurring and nonrecurring activities.
The funding request of $104.2 million for FY12 will continue
to support efforts that target hazardous materials, solid
waste, toxic releases, air emissions, and water pollution
at the source. These activities are part of DoD’s overall
sustainability strategy, recognizing that significant cost
savings and beneficial environmental outcomes can result
from such endeavors.

RestorationDuring FY10, DoD invested:
• $1.6 billion in ER funding for environmental restoration
activities at active installations and FUDS properties
• $666.7 million for environmental activities at closing
installations under BRAC
Of the $2.2 billion obligated for restoration activities,
$1.6 billion funded cleanup of hazardous substances
and pollutants or contaminants from past DoD activities
through the Installation Restoration Program (IRP). The
Military Munitions Response Program (MMRP) funded
$460.2 million for the cleanup of unexploded and discarded
munitions. The remaining obligations funded planning and
compliance activities at BRAC installations.
ER Account Funding
The ER accounts fund environmental restoration activities
at active installations and FUDS properties. In FY10,
$1.6 billion was obligated for ER activities.
DoD continues to invest a significant portion of ER funding
in cleaning up its remaining sites. The amount of ER
funding dedicated to cleanup increased from
$677.2 million in FY10 to $737.4 million in FY11 and
increases to $833.9 million in FY12 (Figure 1-9).
DoD addresses both the IRP and the MMRP in the
Defense Environmental Restoration Program. As shown
in Figure 1-10, funding for these two programs remains
relatively stable.
Of the $1.6 billion obligated for ER activities in FY10,
$1.1 billion funded restoration activities under the IRP.
The remaining $416.0 million funded restoration under
the MMRP (Figure 1-10). New requirements for addressing
emerging contaminants (e.g., perchlorate, naphthalene,
and 1, 4-dioxane) also drive investments in cleanup. DoD
will continue to modify its plans and programs to address
these challenges and adjust total cleanup cost-to-complete
estimates accordingly.

BRAC Environmental Funding
The BRAC accounts provide funding for restoration,
closure-related compliance, and planning activities at
closing military installations in the United States and its
territories. Unlike other appropriations, Congress provides
BRAC funding according to BRAC rounds. As such,
funding remains available until expended; BRAC funds
do not expire. Revenue gained from the sale of property
at closing installations can be used to fund cleanup
requirements.
The FY10 funding of BRAC environmental activities totaled
$666.7 million (Figures 1-11 and 1-12). However, DoD
estimates $457.8 million in funding for FY11 and requests
$520.8 million for FY12. Of the $666.7 million obligated for
BRAC activities in FY10, $429.0 million funded restoration
activities under the IRP and $44.3 million funded restoration
under the MMRP (Figure 1-12). The remaining obligations
funded planning and compliance activities. DoD funding
for environmental activities at closing installations
increased by 25 percent in FY10 because of an increase in
Army Legacy BRAC and Army BRAC 2005 funding.
Chapter 6 describes DoD’s performance within the
Restoration Program. Appendix D, Section 1 contains
BRAC funding data by DoD Component.
Environmental TechnologyDuring FY10, DoD invested:
• $255.8 million for environmental technology
• $62.3 million for the Strategic Environmental Research
and Development Program (SERDP) and $41.0 million
for the Environmental Security Technology Certification
Program (ESTCP)
The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) administers
SERDP and ESTCP. DoD’s environmental technology
programs provide new and improved methods,
equipment, materials, and protocols to meet military
readiness needs. For example, these programs produced
increased efficiency in paint application and metal
plating, resulting in less hazardous waste and lower
associated treatment costs. The DoD Environmental
Technology Annual Report to Congress covers this
area in more detail, fulfilling Congressional reporting

requirements. Environmental technology is only included
in this section of the report to ensure completeness of the
environmental budget discussion.
SERDP and ESTCP focus on the highest priority
environmental technology needs that apply to more than
one DoD Component and help avoid duplication among
the Components. A portion of environmental technology
funding is also invested in Defense Warfighter Protection
(DWFP). DoD obligated $255.8 million in environmental
technology in FY10 (Figure 1-13). The Department
estimates $213.2 million for these activities in FY11 and
requests $226.8 million in FY12. The increase in funding
from FY11 to FY12 is primarily due to an increase in Army
and ESTCP funding.
Overseas Environmental ActivitiesDuring FY10, DoD invested:
• $164.8 million for environmental activities at
overseas installations
• 63 percent more funding for Restoration cleanup at
overseas locations than in FY09
DoD complies with the environmental requirements
of international agreements, country-specific Final
Governing Standards, DoD 4715.05-G “Overseas
Environmental Baseline Guidance Document,” and
DoD Instruction 4715.8 “Environmental Remediation
for DoD Activities Overseas.” Investments in overseas
environmental programs are necessary to continue
the use of, and access to, the infrastructure and natural
resources needed to meet the military mission. Although
overseas environmental funding is included in the Natural
and Cultural Resources, Compliance, and Pollution
Prevention funding charts, it is also displayed separately
in Figure 1-14. Funding for cleanup activities abroad is
included in the overseas compliance activities budget.
Appendix D, Section 1 contains overseas funding data by
DoD Component.

Miscellaneous Environmental ProgramsDuring FY10, DoD invested:
• $50.3 million for the Readiness and Environmental
Protection Initiative (REPI) Program
• $12.2 million for the Native American Lands
Environmental Mitigation Program (NALEMP)
• $6.8 million for the Legacy Resource
Management Program
• $9.3 million for the Defense Environmental International
Cooperation (DEIC) Program
• $1.1 million for the Emerging Contaminants Program
OSD administers several miscellaneous environmental
programs to support the military mission while protecting
human health and the environment.
• The REPI Program protects installations and ranges
from encroachment by working with surrounding
communities and organizations to secure buffer lands
and habitats.
• DoD developed NALEMP to gather, document, and
mitigate environmental impacts on American Indian
and Alaska Native lands in response to a
Congressional mandate.
• The Legacy Resource Management Program, also
required by Congress, attempts to balance the use of
DoD lands for military testing and training with the
need to protect natural and cultural resources.
• The DEIC Program serves as a forum to:
• Share environmental information across
national boundaries
• Counter the proliferation of weapons of
mass destruction
• Partner to maintain access to resources for training
and readiness
• Promote regional cooperation
• Foster a global military environmental ethic
• Improve interagency processes, focus, and integration
• The Emerging Contaminants Program tracks and
analyzes changes to environmental standards for
hazardous substances that have the potential to impact
DoD military operations and environmental activities.
