  1. ESOHResourceTransformation

  2. Environment History • Common Law Property Rights • Property owned from “Heavens to Hell” • Restraints on use couched in nuisance • Development of Legislative and Administrative Law • Zoning • Sanitation • Conservation • Environmental Protection • Why? – Because Values Change

  3. Traditional “E” • Air Quality • Water Supply and Quality • Hazardous Waste • Pollution Prevention • Natural Resource (Endangered Species, Marine Mammals) • Cultural Resources (Historic Properties, Native American consultations) • NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) • Noise Pollution

  4. Environmental = Economics • Environmental Laws Redefined Internalization of Cost • Rationed Resource Supply (Conservation, Permits, Emission Limits) • Created New Cost (Penalties)

  5. Excellence Achieved in the Department of Defense • Managed Risk of Non-Compliance • 4,196 Hazardous Waste Cleanup Sites Completed • Enforcement Actions down 91% since 1993 • Managed Hazmat Processes • DoD accounts for < 0.1% of US TRI Releases • DoD accounts for < 10% of US FedGov TRI Releases • Individual private sector sites have TRI releases levels exceeding DOD cumulative levels • Solid Waste Diversion ahead of 2005 goals • More T&E species/acre than any other Federal Land Manager

  6. Challenge Remaining • Underestimated Risk to Resource Supply and Capability • Loss of access to necessary resources • Increased operational costs • Work-arounds • Result • Encroachment • Lost productivity • Sustainment Paradigm needed for “natural infrastructure”

  7. The Resource Base • Components of “Natural Infrastructure” • Airspace • Air Shed Emissions Availability • AICUZ (Noise Bands) • Groundwater Access • Groundwater Discharge Availability • Surface Land Access • Surface Water Access & Discharge Availability • Subsurface Land Access • Spectrum • Work Force

  8. Encroachment Risk Competing Needs Zoning Action New Contaminants Permit Limit RESOURCE BASE RISK RISK OPERATIONS FINANCIAL

  9. ESOH Transformation • GOAL: Sustain Resource Supply to Operational Capability • Health Protection and Regulatory Compliance Inherent in Operability • PRINCIPLES: • Identify operational and financial risks to resource requirements in an objective, quantified manner • Inform risk management decisions through total cost visibility for ESOH resource sustainment • Leverage equity value of the ESOH resource portfolio • Manage risk through investment that supports operational and regulatory requirements

  10. 1. Identify and Manage Operational and Financial Risks to Resources • Formal modeling developed to quantify resource capability needed and available to support operational needs • Take proactive stance on proposed resource constraints (e.g., perchlorate, critical habitat designations) • Manage total resource base in Base General Plan • Operational metrics for ESOH-MS implementation • Permitted tons of air emissions • Restored land for operational use • Workforce availability (under development)

  11. 2. Total Cost Visibility • Resource sustainment carried through numerous funding lines • MILCON, Acquisition, O&M • Limits opportunities for operational savings or cost avoidance • Total Costs and Liabilities must be identified to inform future resource investment decisions • DOD actions • Global regulatory actions

  12. 3. Leveraging Value • DoD managed environmental resources are now a commodity with an equity value • Tools exist to inventory and appraise public and private resource value • NRLAM (Natural Resource Liability & Asset Management) • Environmental Appraising • Resource value intrinsic to managing risk more effectively and efficiently • Enables negotiation from positive position

  13. 4. Tie Programming Goals/Budget to Resource Requirements • Current Environmental Program • DPG tied to regulatory requirements • Goal: No open enforcement actions • Goal: Federal Facility Agreement milestones • Budget tied to regulatory requirements • Level 0, 1 prioritization, FFA requirements • Investment to sustain operations (P2, conservation, permit enhancement) not always eligible • Transform to investment strategy that manages operational and financial risk across the ESOH spectrum

  14. Operational Requirements Manage & Reduce Risk Resource Base Sustain, Restore & Modernize Sustain & Restore Workforce Natural, Built & Statutory Readiness Reporting Tools Quantified Resource Capacity/Capability/Value YES NO Do resources meet current/future operational needs? The ESOH Management System

  16. Environmental Transformation:McGuire AFB • Replacing C-141s with C-17s • Ozone Non-attainment Area • Near Limit on NOx “Budget” • P2 Efforts Created “Head Room” in VOC “Budget” • Traded VOC “Head Room” for NOx in SIP • Increased Resource Availability = Doubled Mission Capacity Traded 200 tons/yr

  18. Current and Future Actions • New Policy Guidance • Jun 02 SAF/IEE ESOH Management Information System Memo (ESOHMIS) • AFPD 90-8, Environment, Safety and Occupational Health • AFI 90-801, ESOH Management System Implementation • SPG/APPG inputs • Resource Capability Model fielded • Pilot tests, ACC bases, MMR, ANG pilot • Environmental Appraisals underway • Natural Infrastructure considerations in force shaping
