DIANE LANCASTER
n Chartered in 1993 byChief of NavalOperations
n Two majorinstallationsn Naval Station Mayportn Navy Region
Southwest (NAS North Island)
n Through proactive environmentalmanagement, NELP Mayport will:n Evaluate current and innovative
technologies and management strategiesn Ensure implementation of the strategies
that demonstrate environmental andfinancial benefits
n Promote environmental training,awareness and communication
n Identify operational needsn Locate potential
initiatives/technologiesn Serve as a test-bed
for prototype of new technologyn Gather data on
prototype being testedn Share what we learned
n Congressional fundsn NAVFAC (NFESC)n NAVSEA (NSWC Carderock Division)n NAVAIR (NAWC Lakehurst)n CINCLANTFLTn PPEP
n Ship heat exchanger scale preventionn Installed on USS The Sullivans (DDG-68) for
deployment periodn Non-magnetic/non-chemical scale
preventionn Evaluated in October, 2002n Report due April 2003n Partner: Naval Surface Warfare Center,
Carderock Division
n Air Sparged Hydrocyclone (ASH) UnitOperation & Maintenance Manualsn O&M Manuals and training documentationn Conducted further demonstration of unit
• AFFF/CHT• Fuel/CHT• Canadian Demonstration
• AFFF/Fuel
n Contractor: CTC
n Shipboard Hazardous Materials List(SHML) Reductionn Reduce number of materials on SHMLn Submitted Technical Purchase Description
for less hazardous substitutes for:• Brass, Aluminum and Silver Metal Polish• Powdered and Waterless Hand Cleaners
n Contractor: CTCn Partner: Naval Surface Warfare Center
Carderock Division
n Solid Waste Reductionn Regional study to determine if economies
of scale would work for recycling programsn Evaluated NAS Jacksonville, NS Mayport,
NSB Kings Bay
Final report identified…
n Contractor: CTC
n Solid Waste Reductionn Potential savings/cost benefit for
combining specific areas of each recyclingprogram, i.e.
• Combine recyclable marketing• Combine metal-sorting staff at NSB & NS• Centralize transient personnel• Improve C&D debris recycling by contractors• Increase recycling awareness outreach
programs
n Regional Geographic InformationSystem Baseline Survey and Standupn Baseline survey of 9 CLF installations in
COMNAVREGSE area of considerationn Provide recommendations and schedule to
establish regional database commandcenter tied to installations’ GIS
n Aerial photography and GIS formatting ofbase maps
• Include utilities and structuresn Contractor: KTU&A
n Evaluate Hazardous Materials InformationSystem (HMIS) and Air ProgramInformation Management System (APIMS)n APIMS module of Command Core System
• Multi-module, government owned environmentalprogram software
• Air Program reportingn HMIS program currently being usedn Provide evaluation of each programn Contractor: IT Corp/Shaw Env
n Empty HAZMAT Containers Managementn First phase
• identified current practices• suggested five improvements based on industry-
standards
n NS Mayport selected 3 of 5 for further study:
n Contractor: IT Corp/Shaw Env
n Empty HAZMAT Containers Managementn NS Mayport selected 3 of 5 for further study:
• Paint dispensing system using plastic liners forcontainers
• Bulk supply and solvent distribution system ofisopropyl alcohol
• Pre-moistened patches and/or wipes suppliedand distributed in pouches
n Afloat Rag Recycling Programn Red towels vice baled ragsn 2 volunteer ships
• Evaluating cost benefit of governmentpurchased rags vice similarly operatedshoreside contracts
• Evaluating lessons learned• Final Report due April
n Contractor: IT Corp/Shaw Env
n Analysis of Navy On Scene Commanderfunction and SPCC Riskn Develop centralized programn Develop plans to implement best practicesn Identify metrics for compliance and
resourcesn Develop trainingn Website being beta-testedn Prioritizing Best Management Practices for
implementationn Partner: NAVSEA
n Stormwater Treatment Systemsn Evaluated two types of catch basin inserts
at 5 Locations at NS Mayport• AquaGuard – more expensive• DrainPac – more effort to install & access
n Concluded DrainPac more cost effective forNS Mayport operations
n Contractor: Hendon Engineering
AquaGuard
DrainPac
n Focus Group actionn Review final submittalsn Document with articles/fact sheetsn Recommend ownership and submit up COC
for implementation
n Electro-chemical Water Treatmentn Installed and functioning at Atlantic Marine
Dry Dockn Determine that more effective to provide
lessons learned and communication of thetechnology to the fleet
n Satellite Tracking of Marine Mammalsn Tracking currently organized through Fleet
Area Control & Surveillance Facility,Jacksonville
n COMNAVREGSE coordinating investigatingnew technology for tracking
n NELP to provide communication support
n Shipboard Port of Call Waste DisposalGuiden Initiated Process Action Team to compile
names, numbers, and procedures (asapplicable) for CONUS and OCONUS ports
n Disseminate information to fleetn Communicate “Lessons Learned”
n Afloat Environmental ComplianceGuiden Charter QMB
• Compile shipboard personnel needs andconcerns, and history of compliance
• Draft Afloat Environmental Compliance Guideand provide justification for implementation
• Coordinate with Type Commanders
n Identify Optimum Fueling/De-fuelingProcedures of Aircraftn Charter QMB
• Investigate aircraft procedures• Identify procedures resulting in spills• Recommend appropriate changes
n Non-skid Spray Coating for ShipboardDecksn Investigate low VOC coatings for deck non-
skidn Demonstrate on NS Mayport ship
n RADOME Paint Strippersn Investigate commercially available coating
removal operationsn Evaluate which operations work best for
delicate substrates at NS Mayport
n Recycling Hydraulic Fluid fromSubmarines & using in Mayport Shipsn Charter QMB
• Identify & summarize data, policies, etc.• Determine applicability for sub fluid to be used
in ships• Identify costs• Identify recommendations
n Shipboard Oily Water Separatorsn NAVSEA approved/SURFLANT funded
separatorn Install on Pascagoula shipn NELP to provide communications regarding
effectiveness/lessons learned
n FuelMaster Fuel Management & SpillPrevention Systemn Centralized/automated system for fuel
management• Tank Level Indicator Systems• USS Constellation (CV-64) uses
• No formal test results
n Provide communication of system success
nClosed Loop Fluid ChangingSystemn Vacuum system removes dirty fluid and
replaces with clean using same quick-release plug
n Harbor Operations Department to evaluate
n Communication for Lessons Learnedfor Ambient Temperature Cure (ATC)Coatingn Product has been used and is being
contracted for additional use at NS Mayportand NAS Jacksonville
n NELP to capture effectiveness data andprovide communications for lessonslearned
n LED Lanterns and Lightingn Disposal of batteries and bulbs of current
lighting systems is frequent and expensiven Alternative forms of power and alternative
lighting is available in commercial markets,longer lasting and non-hazardous
n Investigate different types of lightingtechnologies and communicateeffectiveness to fleet
