  1. Web-based “Green” Munitions Analytical Compliance System (G-MACS) Presented by Kevin Kennedy VP, Operations Chemical Compliance Systems, Inc. 706 Route 15 South, Suite 207 • Lake Hopatcong, NJ 07849 • 973-663-2148 • (fax) 973-663-2378 kevinkennedy@chemply.com • www.chemply.com

  2. The Evolution of Environmentally Preferable Product Regulations 1986 Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) 1990 Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) 1993 Federal Compliance with Right-to-Know Laws & Pollution Prevention Requirements (E.O 12856) Federal Acquisition, Recycling, and Waste Prevention (E.O. 12873) 1998 Greening the Government Through Waste Prevention, Recycling, and Federal Acquisition (E.O. 13101)

  3. G-MACS Objectives and Scope of Work Develop a single tool that will cost effectively: 1. Accelerate development of “green” munitions 2. Provide a mechanism to clean-up munitions in production 3. Reduce future demilitarization costs Objectives Phase I Scope of Work Compile regulatory, health, and hazard assessment constraints for munitions chemicals Obtain approval for these “green” munitions criteria from a technical evaluation team Develop a prototype Phase II Scope of Work Implement a complete application on the Web

  11. EPA Environmentally Preferable Products—Principles and Guidance G-MACS CAPABILITIES G-MACS APPLICABLE CAPABILITY EPA EPPs PRINCIPLES #1 P2 early acquisition consideration #2 A function of multiple environmental attributes #3 Reflects Life-Cycle Considerations #4 Considers the scale and reversibility of impacts #5 Tailored to local conditions #6 Basis for vendor competition #7 Examines manufacturer claims applicable during product development by manufacturer incorporates 50 individual contributory risk and hazard factors risk and hazard factors and regulatory lists account for numerous life-cycle considerations risk and hazard assessments include acute, chronic and cumulative effects incorporates local regulatory lists provides a standardized and quantitative comparison of competitive products quantitatively assesses manufacturer claims against standardized criteria
