Sustainable Military Training and Land Use Planning

1. Review Strawman Roadmaps and Potential Technology Projectsfor Sustainable Installations Initiative Sustainable Military Training and Land Use Planning Tom Broadwater National Defense Center for Environmental Excellence

2. A Sustainable Installation... • Optimizes military training • Provides for the well-being of soldiers and families • Great Facilities • Strong cultural/community services • Has a mutually-beneficial relationship with the local community • Is life-cycle cost-effective to operate • Systematically decreases its dependence: • on fossil fuels and mining; • on non-biodegradable and toxic compounds; • Does not use resources faster than nature can regenerate them; • Operates within its “fair share” of earth’s resources

3. Purposeof Sustainable Installations Initiative (SII) Technology Workshop Series The ultimate deliverables from a series of three workshops will be: • Technology roadmaps that demonstrate which existing technologies can be applied, in what order, and at what cost benefit to reach the 25-year sustainability goals established by the installations, • Potential demonstration projects with partnering agencies; and • Identification of gaps in existing organizational framework and technologies (needs statements).

4. Sustainable Installations InitiativeWorkshop Series • Installation Focus • Installations with Established/Mature Sustainability Programs • Potential Expansion to other Installations as Programs Mature Outcome You Are Here • Workshop #1 • Army Research Office • April 28, 2005 • Technology Roadmap Hierarchy • Technology Needs Baseline Outcome • Potential Demonstration Projects • Near-, mid-, and long-term (R&D) Needs • Initial Technology Roadmap • Who: Army “Pilot” Sustainability Planners, IMA, ACSIM, ODEP, ARO, Others • What: Use Findings of “Pilot” Assessment Database and Installation Data Calls as a Starting Point for Baseline (Recent ISP Data) • Workshop #2 • DoD/EPA Region 4 Conference • June 29-30, 2005 • Technology Starts • Technology Roadmap(s) • Demonstration Projects for NDCEE • Workshop #3 • Tentative Fort Bragg • Fall 2005 • What: Use Roadmap Hierarchy and Technology Needs Baseline to Align Potential Demonstration Opportunities with Installation Objectives • Who: Army “Pilot” Sustainability Planners and other interests, DOD, EPA, DOE, State, Industry Technology Providers • Who: Federal Agency & Industry Technology Experts, Army “Pilot” Sustainability Planners & HQ Personnel • What: Use Initial Roadmap & Populate Requirements (near through long term) • Coordinated Approach • Matching Vetted Technology Needs with Solution Providers • Facilitating a Process Aligned with RDT&E Outcome

5. Purposeof SII Technology Workshop #2 The deliverables that this workshop needs to develop are: (1) Next iteration of installation sustainability technology roadmaps, (2) High priority potential technology field demonstration projects, and (3) Identification of potential technology partners that support installation sustainability goals and strategies.
