摘要:

AbstractCertain classes of chemicals foreign to the human body can interfere with endocrine hormonal systems. Hormones are the master controllers of biochemical processes. A wide range of pathological conditions can ensue at all stages of life. Research has shown these or similar chemicals to be increasing in natural and man‐made environments. Some research indicates that wildlife is exhibiting the destructive effects of hormone disruption caused by man‐made chemicals. The claim is made that human health is already being adversely affected. Many information gaps exist. Major research and screening programs are under way around the world that could well lead to banning or curtailed use for many heavily used chemicals. Makers and users of chemicals can avoid the embarrassing surprises experienced with previous new environmental issues and control programs by joining in the ongoing issue‐framing scientific, legislative, and regulatory proc

摘要:

AbstractThe management of contaminated structures can be a major activity at some federal facilities and generally differs from management of contaminated environmental media. In particular, a major issue associated with a contaminated structure is whether there is a realistic potential for future use of the structure. This issue should be addressed early in a planning process. The resolution of this issue significantly affects other major issues associated with management of a contaminated structure such as: (1) What are the expected costs associated with management of the structure? (2) What regulatory requirements are applicable? (3) What characterization is needed? (4) What risk assessment is necessary? and (5) What remediation decisions must be made? This article considers all of these issues.

摘要:

AbstractOutsourcing requirements complicate environmental project management and information sharing at Department of Defense (DOD) facilities. The Web provides one way to alleviate these complications. This article presents three case studies detailing the way three DOD organizations–the Rocky Mountain Arsenal (RMA) in Colorado, the 611th Air Support Group (611 ASG) in Alaska, and Yuma Proving Ground (YPG) in Arizona–are managing complex data using Web‐based technology. To manage environmental information and to ensure that it meets compliance requirements more efficiently, RMA has developed a regulatory compliance and electronic document distribution system. The 61 1 ASG has developed a central database with a Web‐based interface that allows distributed management of its building information while also permitting installation contractors to update and use data through the Internet from their remote locations. A website has been designed for YPG that provides one‐s top‐shopping for all data needs pertinent to the facility's environmental restoration program. This interactive database‐drivenfiamework for a collabo‐ rative project support system allows seamless public, team, and distributed administrative access to relevant informatio

摘要:

AbstractEnvironmental, safety, and health (ESH) expertise was provided in the development of handbooks to embed pollution prevention (P2) into the Air Force weapon system acquisition process. Interviews were conducted with aerospace contractors, system program offices, ESH and engineering staff, air staff, commands and base personnel, to identify issues and “best practices.” Over 300 government and industry reviewers provided extensive comments. The most significant comment was that the National Aerospace Standard 411, Hazardous Material Management Program, be the handbook's cornerstone. The latest version of the handbook has 67 templates, which provide P2 guidance and recommendations for specific acquisition processes and documentat

摘要:

AbstractAs a large installation, Eglin Air Force Base conducts numerous operations and activities in support of national defense. Many of these operations/activities are a direct source of air emissions. Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) evaluated these operations/activities for the purpose of identifying those that could be changed to reduce air emissions, regulatory exposure, and permitting and/or labor costs. This study applied root cause analysis techniques to minimize or eliminate these emissions. The study identified numerous potential options, many of which have been traditionally associated with pollution prevention efforts; however, by applying root cause analysis techniques, numerous other innovative and/or low‐cost approaches to reducing air emissions were identified. Implementation of these options would result in a significant reduction in the annual quantity of air emissions at the bas

摘要:

AbstractThe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Defense (DOD) are currently locked in a struggle over the ability of the EPA to fine federal agencies for underground storage tank (UST) violations. The issue is over punitive penalties by the EPA. No one disputes that the Solid Waste Disposal Act (SWDA) Subchapter IX federal facilities section provides for EPA or the states to otherwise regulate federal facilities' USTs. Every federal agency that EPA has assessed a fine against has acquiesced to EPA's initiative, except DOD. On April 16, 1999, DOD requested a legal opinion from the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel (DOJ OLC) over this legal dispute. DOD argues that under a “sovereign immunity” or a “clear statement” analysis, the impotent federal facilities clause in SWDA Subchapter IX Section 6991f prevents EPA from imposing administrative penalties on federal agencies. Although the current political climate probably favors DOJ leaning towards a pro‐EPA decision, doing so would constitute too far of a stretch of the “clear statement” standard. Also, DOJ would have to overcome the difficult precedential hurdle created by a May 1999 EPA administrative law judge's (ALJ) decision in favor of DOD's position on the UST issue. Hence, this article predicts that DOJ will rule that EPA does not have authority for UST punitive penalties against fed
