DoD Region 4 Pollution Prevention Kick Off Meeting

1. DoD Region 4 Pollution Prevention Kick Off Meeting Regional EMS Alliance & State-Level EMS Implementation Training A partnership of: Presented by: Cam Metcalf Executive Director August 8, 2002

2. The Evolution of Environmental Management (EM) Strategic Environmental Management Systems Approach Pollution Prevention RegulatoryCompliance

3. The Future ofPollution Prevention (P2)... Environmental Management Systems (EMSs) “Environmental Management System”

4. Evolution of an Organization’s Environmental Management [Sustained] Sustainability Eco-efficiency Product stewardship Design for Environment Life-Cycle assessment [Competitive Advantage] Environmental Management Accounting Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Environmental Management Systems (EMSs) Energy, Water & Resources Conservation [Market Driven] Pollution Prevention Pollution control compliance [Compliant] Noncompliance waste & pollution [Reactive] [Unprepared]

5. Keep EMS simple. Use what you already have in place. Don’t detail it to death. It doesn’t have to be perfect out-of-the-gate. Remember the concept of ‘continual improvement’! EMS challenge areas… Determining aspects/impacts & significance Communicating EMS to all functions & levels of the organization Communicating EMS to all suppliers & contractors Communicating with additional external interested parties Environmentally-involved & aware employees EMS provides change management capabilities EMS Design & Implementation: Lessons Learned

6. Knowing your organization’s culture is critical Implementing EMS is about people Environmental manager (EM) & activities have greater visibility EM roles & responsibilities change (operational to long-term focus) It’s hard for EM to relinquish control, assume managerial responsibilities & project management, function in business mindset, overcome histories (‘police’ & ISO 9000) & build new relationships throughout the plant EMS Design & Implementation: Lessons Learned

8. University Partners Cam Metcalf Tim Piero 502-852-0965 University of Louisville Holly Grell-Lawe 404-894-4299 and Deann Desai 706-769-4887 Georgia Tech Research Institute Phil Barnes 803-777-1373 University of South Carolina George Smelcer 615-532-8657 University of Tennessee Project Lead: Christine Steagall University of South Carolina 803-777-7463

9. Enhance mission/combat readiness Boost operational efficiency & consistency Improve compliance assurance Promote environmental involvement Supports sustainability/stewardship Meet top ‘management’ directives Executive Order 13148 Army EMS Policy Memo (5 Apr ’02) Deputy Secretary of Air Force Memo (July ’02) Why Implement an EMS?

10. “EMS is an industry thing.” “I’m going to be told how to do my EMS.” “I’ll have to get ISO-14001 registered.” “I’ll never have another compliance violation.” “Once I get the EMS in place, I’m done.” “What do universities know about EMSs?” EMS Perceptions

11. Continual environmental performance improvement Opportunities in non-regulated areas ‘Environmental’ part of everyone’s responsibilities including ‘top management’ What Makes an EMS Different From What We Already Do?

12. Develop military-sector user-group for EMS implementation training & technical assistance Assist installations learn how to plan, implement, and audit ISO 14001-aligned EMSs Transfer proven installation, industrial and public sector “lessons learned” in EMS implementation EMS Training Task Objectives

13. Tier 1-open to all Region 4 installations Four training days in Atlanta Session 1: Orientation & overview of implementing an EMS Session 2: Planning & managing the EMS Session 3: Getting results through a performance-based EMS Session 4: Documentation, auditing & continual improvement Tiered-Training Approach Suggested start date: Fall 2002 Completion: EOY 2003

14. Tier 2-open to at least 16 Region 4 installations “Hands-on” EMS planning, implementation and auditing/focus on “challenge” areas Each university partners with small group of installations Facilitate EMS implementation in operational areas Within each state, each university & participating installations will develop training format Tiered-Training Approach Suggested start date: Fall, 2002 Completion: EOY 2003

15. Focus on the managerial/cultural as well as technical considerations of EMS implementation Hear mentors (Tier 1)—Elgin AFB, Camp Lejuene, Ft. Lewis (tentatives) Learn proven implementation strategies (pilots) Highly participative (50% lecture/50% exercise) Complete key EMS tasks in-class/homework Download EMS materials from DoD only web access (Denix after pilot) Networking opportunities with other installations, services & mentors What the Training is Like

16. Allow time to implement system Get jump by using a “free” resource for EMS training and tool development Be leader in DoD EMS implementation required by EO Training Benefits
