Chapter One
Introduction
This document is an easy reference guide for Fort Bragg's Environmental Compliance
Officers (ECOs) and Environmental Compliance Assistants (ECAs). All military units, civilian
contractors and agencies conducting business on Fort Bragg are required to have at least one
ECO and one ECA. Personnel designated to perform duties as an ECO or ECA are required
to have written appointment orders from their chain of command and attend the initial 20-hour
Fort Bragg Environmental Compliance Course. Every year after the initial 20 hour class,
students are required to attend the 8-hour Environmental annual refresher class. Soldiers
should schedule themselves for the refresher class as soon as possible after re -deployment.
Each brigade and battalion is required to have one ECO and one ECA and each company (or
equivalent) is required to have at least one ECA. To ensure the unit has
sufficient numbers of trained personnel to oversee the unit's environmental
E
program, we encourage units to have designated alternates who have
attended the 20-hour Fort Bragg Environmental Compliance class.
Fort Bragg Soldiers, civilians and facilities must be compliant with
i environmental regulations at all times. The United States Environmental
---------T_
.Protection Agency (EPA) and the North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) regulate Fort Bragg. The installation is subject to no -notice
inspections from either regulatory agency at all times. Units with areas that have deficiencies
or are out of compliance with state/federal regulations are subject to receiving a Notice of
Violation (NOV). Possible fines can be as much as $32,500 per violation, per day by the State
and $75,867 per violation, per day by the Federal government. The unit or agency causing the
violation pays the environmental compliance fines.
Environmental Regulations
The following federal, state and Army regulations apply to all units and organizations stationed
or operating on Fort Bragg.
40 CFR Parts 260-299 Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA): Code of Federal
Regulation that covers the use, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes.
North Carolina Administrative Code 13A "Hazardous Waste Management": provides
guidelines for large and small generators of hazardous waste.
Army Reg. 200-1, Environmental Protection and Enhancement. provides a general
overview of the Army's environmental strategy.
FB Reg. 200-1, The Fort Bragg Environmental Program: prescribes Fort Bragg's
responsibilities, policies and procedures to preserve, protect and restore the quality of the
environment to support the Fort Bragg military mission.
FB Reg. 200-2, Installation Hazardous Waste Management Plan: provides guidelines for
safe handling of hazardous materials and hazardous wastes.
Version 27, January 2021 11
FB Reg. 200-3, Installation Spill Contingency Plan: establishes policies, responsibilities,
procedures and guidance governing spill prevention, control and containment of hazardous
substances.
FB Reg. 420-11, Hunting and Fishing: sets procedures and policies for hunting and fishing
on the Fort Bragg and Camp Mackall military reservations.
FB Reg. 350-6, Installation Range Regulation: establishes procedures for the firing of
ammunition and the scheduling and use of Fort Bragg ranges, training areas, the Camp
Mackall Reservation, the North Carolina Wildlife Management Area, and the Fort Bragg -Camp
Mackall corridor. This regulation applies to all individuals, military or non-military, engaged in
the activities on Fort Bragg and associated areas described in the regulation.
FB Reg. 190-12, Weapons and Ammo Control and Prohibited Items: outlines the
requirements for purchasing, transporting and storing privately owned weapons and
ammunition on Fort Bragg.
Requirement to Recycle on Fort Bragg per the Fort Bragg Integrated Solid Waste
Management Plan:
As a United States Army facility, Fort Bragg's solid waste program is guided by several
overlapping layers of federal, Department of Defense (DOD), U.S. Army, and State of North
Carolina laws, regulations, and guidelines. Fort Bragg has developed a comprehensive
Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan (ISWMP) to address these laws, regulations, and
guidelines as well as to meet established solid waste goals. Fort Bragg has made significant
contributions towards waste minimization, or source reduction, and recycling through these
integrated programs and a commitment to enhance the management of integrated waste
streams.
Executive Order (EO) 13423 (Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and
Transportation Management, signed 24 January 2007), Army Regulation (AR) 420-1
Facilities Engineering, Army Facilities Management, effective 12 February 2008), and
Department of Defense Instruction (DODI) 4715.4 (Pollution Prevention, issued 18 June
1996), which together initiated the preparation of this document, require that this integrated
program be reviewed periodically in order to evaluate progress made toward attaining
established goals for waste prevention, recycling, and green procurement.
Environmental Management
It is the Directorate of Public Work's (DPW) responsibility to manage Fort Bragg's
environmental program. The Environmental Division (ED) is divided into several branches that
manage individual environmental programs. The ED consists of the Environmental
Compliance Branch (ECB), Environmental Management Branch, Cultural Resources Branch,
Wildlife Branch, Endangered Species Branch, Water Management Branch and Forestry
Branch.
DPW Environmental Compliance Branch
The Fort Bragg DPW Environmental Compliance Branch (ECB) manages most of the Fort .....
Bragg Environmental Compliance Programs. The Program Managers and the Compliance
Assessment and Training (CAT) team members are available to assist you with your unit
Version 27, January 2021 12
environmental program. The branch has several resources to provide helpful information to
you.
The CAT team conducts annual assessments of all units on Fort Bragg and forwards the
inspection reports through the unit's chain of command. The CAT team also conducts
assistance visits on request from ECO/ECA's. On these requested assistance visits, the CAT
member passes the results of the inspections directly to the ECO/ECA so corrective actions
can be taken to address any non-compliance areas. This is a valuable tool that ECO/ECAs
can use to keep their environmental program on the right track.
Did you know that the Environmental Compliance Branch provides ECOs/ECAs
with up-to-date information on a compact disk, available at the Compliance
Assessment and Training Team Office (3-1137)?
The CAT team can provide an environmental SOP for your unit/facility. The CAT team can
also provide you with the slides used in the Environmental Compliance Class. This will allow
you to do facility specific training for your personnel without having to start from scratch.
Fort Bragg conducts the 20-hour Environmental Compliance Class and the 8-hour Refresher
Class once each month. Contact the Compliance Team for a current class schedule and
information on how to enroll personnel in the class.
Unit Compliance & ECO/ECA Responsibilities
The ECO/ECA, whether at the battalion or company level, is responsible for maintaining the
unit's environmental program. The ECO/ECA must ensure there are adequate and appropriate
facilities for properly storing hazardous materials and hazardous wastes. They must also
ensure that their Satellite Accumulation Site (SAS) managers and all hazardous waste
handlers receive specific training and that all personnel working in the facility are educated
about the environmental program.
1. Training Requirements — All designated ECOs/ECAs are required to attend the Fort Bragg
20-hour Environmental Compliance course. Once the ECO/ECA has attended the 20-hour
course, they must attend an 8-hour refresher course annually. The rank requirement for the
class is E-5 and above unless the student is an armorer and will ONLY be in charge of their
company arms room program.
2. Job Description and Training Form — All personnel who handle, store and/or manage
hazardous waste require specific hazardous waste management training (to include temporary
personnel and contractors). The training must be documented on the Fort Bragg Job
Description and Training Form. Once an ECO/ECA has attended the Fort Bragg 20-hour
Environmental Compliance course, they are qualified to conduct the training. Once an
individual receives the specific hazardous waste training, it is current for one year. After a
year, the individual must receive refresher training which will also be documented on the Fort
Bragg Job Description and Training Form. Forms must be kept on file for 3 years.
3. Environmental Compliance Binder — There are requirements to have certain references,
inspection records and training documentation on site at the unit facility. The DPW ECB
requires that the ECO/ECA maintain an environmental compliance binder at each site that has
Version 27, January 2021 13
an SAS (for facilities with multiple SASs only one binder is needed). DPW ECB has a binder
index and a template to assist units in developing binders. The ECO/ECA is responsible for
reviewing and updating the binder every month. The binder shall remain onsite at ALL times.
4. Deployment/Re-deployment
a. Deployment — If there is to be a rear detachment, ensure there is an ECO or ECA appointed
and they have attended the environmental compliance course. As long as a facility is in
operation, regardless of the level of operation, there will be environmental compliance
requirements. Any contractors operating in the facility are also required to have an appointed
ECO or ECA.
4kDid you know that you should contact your CAT team representative prior to the
unit's deployment? They will schedule a walk-through of the area to ensure the
facility is free of environmental deficiencies.
If a unit is completely closing down the facility, the ECO/ECA must ensure that NO hazardous
materials/wastes remain in the facility. Any hazardous materials that are not deploying with
the unit must be turned in to the HWRO (Hazardous Waste Reclamation Office) or transferred
to another unit for consumption. Do not leave hazardous materials in the facility. Expired
hazardous materials can become hazardous wastes. ECOs/ECAs must ensure that all
hazardous waste is turned in to the HWRO. All controlled materials (used oil, used antifreeze,
etc.) must be disposed of properly. Controlled materials left in the facility during a deployment
could leak out if the storage container rusts through.
PARTS WASHERS: Can you take your DPW -owned parts washer (Clarus or Inland)
with you when you deploy? NO! DPW owns the machine and will take it back while
your unit is deployed. Once you return, contact the HWRO at 396-2141 and they will
issue your unit a newly serviced machine.
The unit environmental binder must remain on Fort Bragg; it is unlikely it would be needed
overseas. Leave the binder and its contents in a safe location so that the environmental
program can easily be re-established upon re -deployment. Keep all training documentation
and FB Form 3003 SAS inspection forms inside the binder. You must make a note in the FB
Form 3003 remarks section stating when the SAS was closed and for what reasons.
b. Redeployment — When redeploying, the unit should leave all hazardous materials issued
overseas.
As needed, contact the HWRO to get required hazardous waste or controlled material
containers for collecting and storing wastes. New hazardous materials are ordered from the
HAZMART.
Upon resumption of normal activities, the ECO/ECA must immediately begin to reinstate the
environmental program. On the initial inspection of the SAS, note in the FB Form 3003 remarks
section the date when the site is re-established or reactivated.
The ECO/ECA should contact their DPW ECB CAT Team representative to schedule
attendance in the next Environmental Compliance Refresher Course and determine if addition
personnel need to attend the full compliance class.

Chapter Two
Hazardous Materials
Hazardous materials are defined as any material that is dangerous if inhaled, ingested,
touched or otherwise dangerous to humans or the environment. This would include materials
used in common work areas (motor pools, shops, arms rooms, etc.) and cleaning products in
a supply room. It is very important to know what types of hazardous materials are used and
stored in your facility. Every facility on Fort Bragg is required to have a hazardous material
inventory. Each unit is required to maintain a "master" inventory of all the hazardous materials
used or stored in the facility. This is made up of the individual inventories that are required for
each storage area (i.e. flammable locker, HAZMAT bldg., etc.). The Hazardous Material
Inventory form located in the forms section of this guide is the only form that can be used and
must be submitted electronically to your CAT team inspector at the time of the annual
inspection.
Once you have identified all hazardous materials on hand, you need to ensure you have a
Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for each material. SDSs are available from several sources; the
manufacturer of the product, HAZMART, and HMCP. You can also contact your CAT team
inspector for assistance. SDSs must be placed where all personnel in your facility have access
to them at all times.
Hazardous material containers must be clearly labeled, in good condition, and protected from
sunlight and the weather. All Class III hazardous materials must have a Fort Bragg label from
the HAZMART.
Secondary containment is required for all liquid hazardous materials to prevent them from
coming in contact with the ground or floor. This includes vehicle batteries stored in motor pool
areas and SSAs prior to use. The secondary containment must provide containment for 110%
of the largest container or 10% of the total volume of material, whichever is greater. Hazmat
storage buildings, plastic containment pallets, plastic haz-huts, clamshell type buildings,
fireproof lockers or a sealed room can provide secondary containment.
All empty metal POL/hazardous material containers must be turned in to the Hazardous Waste
Reclamation office at building 3-1137 Monday through Friday between the hours of 0730 and
1130. All plastic POL containers must be completely empty and thrown in the trash. Copy the
barcode number onto the HMCP Barcode Record (Chapter Seven in the Forms Guide). Give
the form to the DPW personnel at building 3-1137 upon arrival and they will assist you with
your turn -in. Return the signed Barcode Record to HMCP for AUL update. All other containers
must also be recorded on the HMCP Barcode Record Form and taken to the HMCP for AUL
updates.
Units must purchase all paint from the HAZMART at Pope. The HAZMART stocks all
authorized colors and environmentally preferred interior and exterior paint. Customers can
provide the dimensions of the area to be painted and the work order section (396-0321) will
calculate the amount of paint needed to do the job. Units are not allowed to buy paint off post
without a written exemption.
Version 27, January 2021 15
HAZMART will label paint cans in the same manner as other hazardous material containers.
DO NOT ALLOW CONTAINERS TO AIR DRY!! Excess paint must be turned into the
HWRO (369-2141).

containers to building 3-1137.
Containers can be turned into the Hazardous waste office (HWRO) during the hours of 0730-
1130.
Contact the HWRO (910-396-2141) with any questions.
Check in with the personnel at 3-1137 upon arrival. They will check your form against your
empty POL containers and sign/date the form.
Each unit is responsible for returning their signed HMCP Barcode Record form to HMCP
(BLDG J-2050) for AUL verification.
For containers with label issues contact HMCP at 396-0205.
DO NOT TRIPLE RINSE ANY CONTAINERS.
Hazardous Material Management Plan
Hazardous Material Management Plan (HMMP) - The Fort Bragg Directorate of Logistics
(DOL) developed the Hazardous Material Management Plan (HMMP) in Dec 2005. The HMMP
establishes procedures for units to order hazardous materials (Class III packaged supplies
and paint) from the Pope HAZMART located at Bldg. 618 on Pope Army Air Field (159 Booster
Street). Per Master Policy 140, the HAZMART is the single source of supply for these
products on Fort Bragg. All hazardous materials purchased through the Pope HAZMART
will have a label on each container identifying the specific product and the unit receiving that
product. The phone number for HAZMART is 394-5076 and the fax number is 960-8574.
The Hazardous Material Control Point (HMCP) provides hazardous material management.
HMCP conducts assistance visits at the units to validate inventory and assist with shelf life
management. The labels on those containers are counted against the products purchased by
the unit and on -hand inventories are adjusted. This allows the HMCP to monitor the amount
of hazardous materials purchased and consumed on Fort Bragg.
Version 27, January 2021 16
Chapter Three
Controlled Materials
Controlled materials are materials that can be re -used or recycled. These materials must be
stored properly to avoid contamination, which could result in having to dispose of the material
as a hazardous waste. There are six controlled materials routinely generated on Fort Bragg.
Used Oil - Used oil is any used/expired motor oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, gear oil,
hydraulic fluid, and mineral oil. Used oil must be collected and stored in a closed, metal 55-
gallon drum or above ground storage tank (AST). The storage container must be clearly
marked "Used Oil" and have adequate secondary containment. Do not mix with non -mil spec
fuel, solvents, used antifreeze or any other hazardous materials. Mixtures may become a
hazardous waste that cannot be recycled or re -used. When the storage container is
approximately 75% full, call the DPW HWRO (396-2141) to schedule a pick-up of a 55 gallon
drum or schedule a pump -out of an AST. If used oil is stored in an AST, it must be grounded.
Per the Fort Bragg Fire Department, containers of used oil and non -mil spec fuel CAN
NOT be stored inside an occupied building. These materials must be stored either in a
DPW approved AST or in a DPW approved 55 gallon metal drum. If stored in a drum, the
drum must be stored on adequate secondary containment and have adequate overhead
cover. Call your compliance inspector for assistance if you have questions.
Per guidance from NCDEQ, drip pans used to collect fluids under leaking vehicles must
be labeled with the words "Used Oil". Other drip pans used in the motor pool to collect
other fluids (ex: Used Antifreeze) must be specifically labeled with the contents.
Used Filters — Used filters must be briefly drained to remove excess product. Once drained,
the filters must be stored in a closed 55-gallon metal drum and labeled "Used Filters For
Recycling." Once the drum is full, call the DPW HWRO (396-2141) to have the used filters
picked up for recycling. The HWRO will pick up your drum and replace it with an empty drum.
The used filters will be crushed and turned in as scrap metal. If your facility has an oil filter
crusher, collect your crushed filters and turn them in to the HWRO. The bucket used to collect
oil under the crusher must be labeled "Used Oil". For used MOGAS fuel filters, refer to
Chapter Four: Hazardous Waste.
Used Antifreeze — Used antifreeze must be collected in a closed plastic container provided
by DPW. The container must be clearly labeled as "Used Antifreeze" and must have
appropriate secondary containment. Do not mix with oils, fuels, or solvents. Mixtures can
become a hazardous waste that cannot be recycled or re -used. When the container is
approximately 75% full, call the DPW HWRO (396-2141) to schedule an appointment to have
the antifreeze picked up or pumped.
Non -Mil Spec Fuel - Contaminated or unusable JP8, diesel, JP-4, Jet A and kerosene must
be collected in a closed metal 55-gallon drum or an above ground storage tank. The drum or
Version 27, January 2021 17
tank must be labeled as "Non -Mil Spec Fuel" and have appropriate secondary containment.
Do not mix with oil, antifreeze or solvents. Mixtures may become a hazardous waste that
cannot be recycled or re -used. When the container is approximately 75% full, contact the DPW
hazardous waste office (396-2141) to schedule pumping. As with Used Oil, Non -Mil Spec Fuel r
can never be stored in an occupied building.
Used/Dirty Rags (non -arms room) — Used/Dirty Rags must be collected in a closed metal
container labeled as "Used Rags" or "Dirty Rags." Rags contaminated with POL products can
be recycled. Used/dirty rags can be turned in to Post Laundry (396-7143) at Building 2-2055
on Sturgis Street or laundered through an outside contractor. Rags used as an absorbent or
saturated with a hazardous material must be turned in through the HWRO. If a unit/facility
chooses to purchase rags and not use the post laundry exchange, those rags must be stored
and managed as a non -regulated waste and turned in to the HWRO. Rags that have become
contaminated with hazardous waste must be treated as hazardous waste. Contact your
CAT team inspector for guidance.
Used Dry Sweep/Contaminated Soil — Used dry sweep/contaminated soil must never be
thrown in the trash can, dumpster or landfill. It must be collected in a container and labeled as
"Used Dry Sweep." The container must have a lid and must be kept closed. Used dry
sweep/contaminated soil must be turned in by the unit to the DPW HRWO during normal
business hours: (Mon —Fri, 0730-1530).
Aerosol Cans Aerosol cans are NOT allowed to be disposed of in the trash. All aerosol
cans must be collected, stored in a metal drum and labeled "Aerosol Cans for Recycle". As
the drum becomes three quarters full, the unit can call the HWRO at 396-2141 to schedule an
appointment for pick-up.
Lead -Acid Batteries - Lead -acid Batteries must be properly stored on secondary
containment. Ensure new and in -use batteries are segregated and stored separately. All
battery terminals must be taped prior to turn in. A small patch of duct tape is sufficient as long
as it covers the terminals. If you have disposal questions for any type of battery, call the HWRO
at 396-2141.
Aboveground Storage Tanks
Fort Bragg regulation 200-3, Fort Bragg form 3003-1, and this guide, mandate specific
requirements for bulk storage of material. Aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) utilized by units
for storage of anti -freeze, used oil, fuel, or non -mil spec fuel are governed under these
regulations.
All ASTs must be clearly labeled with the contents of the tank ("Used Oil", "JP-8", "Diesel
"Non -Mil Spec Fuel", etc.). Any spills on the tank must be cleaned immediately. Careful
attention should also be given to ensure the ground underneath and around the tank remains
free from spilled material. ASTs are required to have adequate secondary containment and to
be grounded. ASTs that are double -walled do not required additional secondary containment
but single -walled tanks do require additional secondary containment. If you are unsure about
your AST, contact the Tank Program Manager at 908-3969.
Version 27, January 2021 18
If an existing AST in your facility needs to be moved, prior to moving the tank, you must contact
the Tank Program Manager at 908-3969. Moving or installing new tanks require changes to
the Fort Bragg Spill Prevention, Countermeasure, and Contingency Plan (SPCCP) and to the
unit Site Specific Spill Prevention Plan. If repairs are needed for an AST, contact the Tank
Program Manager at 908-3969.
Note: When using a funnel to collect any liquid hazardous material or waste, the funnel
must be removed from the drum and the bung replaced and tightened into the bunghole
for the container to be a "closed container" per Fort Bragg regulation 200-1. The exception
to this is if there is a self -closing valve located between the funnel and the drum as in the
example below. Call your CAT Team inspector for guidance on proper use and where to
obtain a self -closing valve for your drum.
Version 27, January 2021 19
Chapter Four
Waste
During normal operations, personnel and facilities on Fort Bragg generate many different types
of waste. These types include: hazardous waste, universal waste, non -regulated waste, solid
waste, regulated medical waste, and unidentified waste.
Hazardous Waste - On Fort Bragg, hazardous wastes are regulated by the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and Fort Bragg Regulation 200-2. Most hazardous
wastes found on Fort Bragg are hazardous due to their characteristics. There are four
hazardous waste characteristics: ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity and toxicity. Materials
y - that exhibit one or more of these characteristics, can no longer be used
for their intended purpose, and cannot be recycled, are considered to be
a hazardous waste. If you are not sure if a material is a hazardous waste,
call the HWRO at 396-2141.
Hazardous waste must be stored in a DPW approved container and is
7 required to have adequate
secondary containment, if applicable (liquids). The
container must remain sealed at all times, except when
waste is being added to the container. Any container
used to store hazardous waste must have a
classification label that indicates the hazard of the
contents and a properly completed Fort Bragg
hazardous waste label. This includes the unit, the type
of waste, and the date the container was started. Labels
can only be obtained from your inspector or the
Hazardous Waste Office.
To turn in hazardous waste, call the HWRO at 396-2141
to make an appointment to have the waste picked up.
A technician from the HWRO will come to your facility,
remove the full hazardous waste container, and supply
a replacement container (if requested) with a new Fort
Bragg hazardous waste label.
HAZARDOUS WASTE
Wx t .. z air cs
The area where units store hazardous waste is called a Satellite Accumulation Site (SAS),
even if additional types of waste are stored in the same immediate area. The unit may store
hazardous waste, universal waste, non -regulated waste and controlled materials at the SAS
location, so long as each waste is properly segregate, containerized, and labeled. A storage
area is only deemed a SAS if it includes hazardous waste.
The SAS must be located at or near the point of generation at the facility generating hazardous
waste. There must be a fire extinguisher and spill absorbent material within 50 feet and the
SAS must be located away from storm drains, if possible.
At the SAS, you must never exceed 55-gallons of hazardous waste or one (1) quart of acutely
hazardous waste. This total does not include controlled materials. When a container or SAS
t
Version 27, January 2021 20
is approaching the 55-gallon limit, the unit has 72 hours to have the hazardous waste picked
up by the DPW HWRO. Units must manage the amount of waste stored in the SAS to avoid
noncompliance with greater than 55 gallons on site for more than 72 hours. It is the unit's
responsibility to call the DPW HWRO (396-2141) to make an appointment for pick-up. The
unit will need to provide a POC, phone number, building number and DODAAC. It is
recommended that the unit schedule a pickup when the container is approximately 75%
full to ensure the limit is not exceeded.
Each SAS must be inspected weekly by the ECA or designee (SAS manager) and at the end
of the month by the unit ECO/ECA. The weekly/monthly inspections must be documented on
FB Form 3003. Each unit is required to conduct SAS inspections per Fort Bragg Regulation
200-2 and maintain the FB Form 3003 on file at the unit for three years.
The following are some of the common hazardous wastes found on Fort Bragg:
Used MOGAS Fuel Filters — Used MOGAS fuel filters are characterized as flammable and
toxic hazardous waste. Once used MOGAS filters are removed from a vehicle or machine, the
residual fuel must be removed from them. The filters are not required to be drained for any set
length of time, just long enough to remove the excess fuel. Do NOT leave used MOGAS filters
un-containerized. The filters must be stored in a sealed DPW / DOT approved metal container
and be labeled hazardous waste with classification labels. For guidance on non-MOGAS fuel
filters, refer to Chapter Three, "Used Filters".
Used Weapons Cleaning Materials and Rags — Used weapons cleaning materials/rags are
designated as a toxic hazardous waste due to the content of lead. Used weapons cleaning
materials include bore patches, Q-Tips and pipe cleaners used to clean weapons. Weapons
cleaning materials, including rags, must be collected and labeled as a hazardous waste and
stored in a DPW/DOT approved container.
Used Solvent and Solvent Filters — Many used cleaning solvents are a hazardous waste,
whether or not they are used in a parts washer. Most parts washers on Fort Bragg are serviced
by Safety Kleen or the Fort Bragg HWRO. If the unit services its own parts washers, the used
solvent and any used solvent -filters must be stored separately in a metal container and
managed as a hazardous waste.
Used HW Absorbents — Used absorbents (Hazardous Waste) include paper towels, spill
pads, booms, and rags that are used to clean up spills of MOGAS, oil based paints, or other
hazardous wastes. Once contaminated, these absorbents must be stored in a closed, sealed
DPW approved metal container and be managed as a hazardous waste. NOTE: Absorbents
used to clean spills of regular POL products must be kept in a separate, closed
container and be labeled as "Used POL Absorbents".
Photo -processing Chemicals — Photographic waste solutions are managed as a hazardous
waste since most are highly corrosive. They must be stored in a DPW approved plastic
container and be managed as a hazardous waste.
Contaminated MOGAS — MOGAS is highly ignitable; do not mix with any other type of fuels.
Mixing of MOGAS, a hazardous waste, with other fuels or materials only generates more
hazardous waste. Contaminated MOGAS must be managed as a hazardous waste and stored
in a grounded, DPW approved, metal container. Per the Fort Bragg Fire Department, MOGAS
Version 27, January 2021 21
cannot be stored inside an inhabited building due to the danger of fire. This is the only
exception to the "at or near the point of generation" rule for hazardous waste storage.
Flameless Rations Heaters (FRH) — Inactivated FRHs discarded in bulk are a hazardous
waste due to the potential to ignite other materials upon becoming wet. They must be turned
in as a hazardous waste to the HWRO (396-2141) or turned in to DLA Disposition Services
(396-8691) for re -use. Individual FRHs are not a hazardous waste and can be disposed of in
the trash. Call for appointment.
Enamel Paint, CARC Paint and Paint Thinners — If possible, completely empty paint cans
during painting to eliminate waste. Unusable enamel and CARC paint or leftover paint thinner
must be disposed of through the HWRO as a hazardous waste.
Flammable Adhesives — Adhesives, including two-part mixtures, that are chemically cured or
air cured prior to use are hazardous wastes. These adhesives are hazardous due to their
flashpoint and/or their metallic constituents. The following items must be stored as a
hazardous waste in an approved metal container: cans or tubes with non -usable adhesive,
mixing cups with adhesive residue, rags with adhesive residue, and saturated or heavily
contaminated gloves and mixing sticks.
Expired Hazardous Materials — Expired hazardous materials that cannot have their shelf life
extended may be a hazardous waste. If the material can no longer be used for its intended
purpose and cannot be recycled, it must be turned in as a hazardous waste. If the material
can be recycled (ex: outdated motor oil), it must be stored in the proper container until it can
be turned in.
Used Blast Media — Used blast media contaminated with metal and paint particles must be
stored in a metal drum and managed as a hazardous waste.
PPE Contaminated With Blast Media — Contaminated blast media PPE must be stored in a
metal drum and managed as a hazardous waste.
Used NBC Items — Some NBC items need to be turned in as a hazardous waste when they
can no longer be used for their intended purpose. You do not need to set up an SAS in your
NBC room, but when you dispose of these items, they must be turned into the HWRO.
The ECOs/ECAs must turn the following NBC items in to the HWRO:
➢ Filters (C2 canisters, M40, M17, M51)
➢ M18A2 chemical agent detector kits
➢ M72A2 chemical agent ID kits, Simulants
➢ M256 chemical agent detector kits
➢ M229 chemical agent alarm refill kit Parts A,B,C,D
➢ M58 decontamination kit
DS2 Decon solution
➢ Super Tropical Bleach (STB)
➢ M100 Sorbent Decon System
M13 Decontaminating and Re -impregnating Kit
➢ M256 Simulator, Detector Ticket, Chemical Agent
➢ M258A1 Decon Kit
Version 27, January 2021 22
➢ M280 Decon Kit
➢ M273 Murexide Indicator Tablets
➢ M3 Clothing Impregnation Set
➢ M34 Soil Sampling Kit
➢ M272A2 Water Testing Kit
➢ M8 Paper
➢ M9 Paper, Chemical Agent Detection 6665-01-049-8982
➢ M9 Paper, Chemical Agent Detection 6665-01-226-5589
If you have questions about how to manage any other NBC items call your compliance
inspector.
Universal Waste
Universal waste consists of materials that are not regulated as stringently as a hazardous
waste, but are still governed by rules of proper storage and disposal. Universal wastes must
be stored in a closed container and clearly labeled as "Universal Waste" with an accumulation
start date. Labeling can be done by using the Fort Bragg universal waste stickers provided by
the DPW HWRO or by writing the required information on the container. The universal waste
storage container must be closed and sealed except when wastes are being added. Universal
waste may be stored on site for no longer than six (6) months, although there is no limit to
the amount of universal waste stored on site.
Universal waste must also be inspected weekly/monthly using FB form 3003 IAW with Fort
Bragg Regulation 200-2. Contact the HWRO at 396-2141 to schedule a turn -in of the universal
waste.
The two types of universal wastes commonly found on Fort Bragg are non -alkaline batteries
and lamps containing mercury (LCMs). Alkaline batteries and all lithium batteries must be
turned in to the Hazardous Waste Office. Be aware that some household batteries are
Lithium and not alkaline.
Non -Alkaline Batteries - Batteries considered to be universal waste are nickel cadmium
(NiCad), mercury, magnesium and nickel metal hydride. Batteries must be segregated by type,
labeled, and properly stored in a closed, sealed container. Ensure new, in -use and waste
batteries are segregated and stored separately. All battery terminals must be taped prior to
turn in. A small patch .of duct tape is sufficient as long as it covers the terminals. If you have
disposal questions for any type of battery, call the HWRO at 396-2141.
Lithium batteries are managed differently than the other universal waste batteries. Units will
NOT discharge lithium batteries. For a current copy of the Fort Bragg policy on lithium
batteries, see page 61. The current policy directs the unit to store the batteries in a sealable
container labeled "Used Lithium Batteries". When you accumulate enough batteries, they are
to be turned in to the HWRO.
The HWRO will test each battery (5590s) on a state -of -charge tester. Any battery with a charge
of more than 70% will be stored at the HWRO and given, free of charge, to any unit that
requests them. All batteries with a charge of less than 70% will be sent offsite for recycling or
disposal.
Version 27, January 2021 23
Lamps Containing Mercury (LCMs) - Lamps/bulbs considered to be universal waste are
fluorescent, high intensity discharge, neon, mercury, vapor, high-pressure sodium and metal
halide. LCMs must be properly labeled and properly stored in a closed, sealable container.
They are best stored in the boxes they came in. LCMs can be turned in to the HWRO (Bldg.
3-1137) without an appointment during normal business hours (Mon — Fri, 0730-1530).
If lamps/bulbs are broken, the residue must be placed in a plastic bag, which should then be
stored in a labeled and sealed cardboard box. The box must be turned in to the HWRO.
All LCMs, including the "green tip" LCMs that are advertised as environmentally friendly and
the compact fluorescent light bulbs, are to be properly managed and turned in to the HWRO.
Thermostats — Some thermostats contain mercury and must be stored as universal waste
when no longer usable. Store waste thermostats in a closed, labeled container and turn into
the DPW HWRO.
Pesticides, Herbicides, Insecticides, and Rodenticides - Units are not permitted to apply
or store pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, or rodenticides on Fort Bragg. These materials
can only be applied by a person with an application license for federal installations. All requests
for applications of these materials must be made by service order (396-0321). If you have
questions on the program, contact Alan Abellanosa at 908-3245.
i 0
Did you know that Universal Waste must be inspected weekly/monthly just like
Hazardous Waste? Use the Fort Bragg form 3003 to conduct inspections on
Universal Waste to remain in compliance and keep these forms on file for three
years.
Solid Waste and Recycling
Solid waste is defined as any garbage, refuse, sludge, liquid, semisolid, or contained gaseous
material resulting from industrial, commercial, mining and agricultural activity. Fort Bragg
generates solid waste in three basic areas: housing, garrison, and training areas.
Environmental regulations exempt residential waste from many of the management
requirements that apply to garrison and training waste. The following sections describe these
general types of wastes.
Residential Waste — Residential wastes are those items generated at a person's private
residence in the course of their private activities. Refuse picked up by the solid waste
contractor in the Fort Bragg housing areas is transported to a privately owned municipal solid
waste landfill. The solid waste contractor will not accept tires, lead acid batteries, or used oil
in residential, motor pool or admin facility garbage. The contractor also operates a curbside
recycling program that collects paper, cardboard, plastic, and aluminum items. Housing
residents must contact their Corvias Military Living neighborhood office for more information
about residential solid waste management. Hazardous waste from residential areas can be
turned in to a neighborhood center or the HWRO at building 3-1137 on Reilly Road.
Garrison Waste — All waste generated as part of the day-to-day operation of Fort Bragg is
subject to local, state and federal regulations regarding solid and hazardous wastes. All
Garrison waste placed in dumpsters is transported off the installation for disposal. Fort Bragg
Version 27, January 2021 24
can incur tremendous liability if waste is mismanaged by prohibited items such as
Y Hazardous waste, Universal Waste, recyclables, etc. being placed in dumpsters.
�f l Units/organizations that fail to comply with the Fort Bragg policies and procedures relating to
solid waste will be required to remove the prohibited items from their dumpsters. The POC for
all dumpster management issues is Synethia Jacobs. Synethia can be reached at
synethia.a.jacobs.civ(a.mail.mil , (910) 643-7720 (office), or (910) 973-0174 (cell).
Range Training Waste — Large receptacles for collecting waste generated during training
activities are located in the training area and at the central vehicle wash facility. All waste
generated in the field must be segregated to remove any prohibited items from the inert waste
at the point of generation and prior to placement in the collection containers. Items such as
vehicle parts, cardboard, and metal must be taken to centralized collection areas in garrison.
Important: All ammunition related items (all items issued to the unit by the ASP) MUST be
returned to the Ammo Supply Point.
One of the biggest problems when managing solid waste is keeping the harmful items
or banned items segregated from those that are inert. Segregation must occur as close
to the point of generation as possible. Items that are not allowed in regular dumpsters
are called "Prohibited Items".
Prohibited items or banned items generated on Fort Bragg that CANNOT be thrown in the
Refuse/Trash Dumpsters include:
Hazardous Waste
Tires
Electronics, wiring or cable
Used Antifreeze
Contaminated Soil/Dry Sweep
Blast Media
Used Oil
Ammunition Related Items
NBC Items
POL Products
Plastic Bottles
Used/Dirty Rags
Paint
Scrap Metals
Solvent and Filters
Fluorescent Bulbs
Pesticides
Used Absorbents
Bulk MRE Heaters
Non -Alkaline Batteries
Used Filters Fuel or Oil
Hazardous Materials
Aerosol Cans
Aluminum Cans
In addition, yard trash (leaves, grass clippings, etc.) cannot be thrown in the Refuse/Trash
Dumpsters. Yard trash must be taken to the Fort Bragg Landfill Facility recycling area.
The installation tracks the quantity of waste that is disposed of and constantly works to
decrease the amount of waste generated. In order to minimize the waste that is disposed, the
installation has implemented the waste management hierarchy, which strives to manage all
wastes according to the following principles:
➢ Source Reduction- implementation of measures such as purchasing items with less
packaging or fewer hazardous ingredients
➢ Recycling- collecting and selling recyclable materials for reprocessing such as
aluminum cans, cardboard, concrete, brass casing, plastic, paper, metals, etc. to
remove the items from waste that is disposed
➢ Treatment- reducing the volume or toxicity of waste through various processes
➢ Disposal- implemented as the last option; includes land filling and incineration
Version 27, January 2021 25
a
Recycling — Fort Bragg's Qualified Recycling Program
(QRP) is an award winning and federally recognized
program. The goal of the program is to reclaim materials
from the solid waste stream, retain revenues for
reinvestment in diversion technologies to further recovery of
recyclable materials, while minimizing the costs of solid
waste disposal and sustaining our environmental future. The
recycling facilities located in the DPW Compound and the
Lamont Road Landfill and Recycling Area will recycle most concrete, steel and other
metals from construction & demolition debris. For a list of materials and drop off
locations please see the quick reference table in the beginning of the guide and
additional recycling locations on page 59. Units and agencies on Fort Bragg are
encouraged to utilize the Recycling Incentives Program (RIP). Participants are
reimbursed for turning in aluminum cans, plastic bottles, office paper, and cardboard.
The reimbursement is in the form of a DFMWR voucher which can be used at any
DFMWR facility. The DPW ECB is now hosting training to assist units/organizations
in understanding and maximizing the RIP and to ensure proper recycling. To receive
the memorandum of instruction, schedule training, and acquire recycling containers
please contact the recycling office at 396-2295.
Non -Regulated Waste
Non -regulated waste includes materials that are not required to be stored or managed as a
hazardous waste, but possess characteristics that prohibit them from being buried in a landfill.
Call the Fort Bragg HWRO (396-2141) to make an appointment to have non -regulated waste
picked up. Common non -regulated wastes on Fort Bragg include:
GAA Grease and Related Items — GAA Grease must be stored in an approved container,
labeled as "Contaminated Grease" and turned in to the HWRO for disposal.
Latex Paint— Latex paint that has become unusable or is not needed must be turned in to the
HWRO (396-2141).
Lead Weights — Unwanted lead weights may be recycled as a scrap metal. Call DLA
Disposition Services at 396-8691 to make an appointment for turn in.
Used Absorbents — Absorbents used to clean up spills of regular products (Non -hazardous
Waste) must be stored in a closed metal drum and labeled as "Used Absorbents" until turned
in to the HWRO. DO NOT mix with absorbents used to clean up hazardous waste or dispose
of in dumpsters or the landfill. NOTE: Absorbents used to clean spills of Hazardous Waste
must be kept in a closed, sealed container and be labeled as "Hazardous Waste".
Regulated Medical Waste
Regulated medical waste (RMW) becomes a real problem for Fort Bragg when it is improperly
disposed of in dumpsters. Regulated medical waste MUST NEVER BE THROWN AWAY IN
THE REGULAR GARBAGE! It MUST be turned in to Environmental Services in the basement
of Womack Army Medical Center for disposal. Womack will provide units with the authorized
RMW red bags and the RMW labeled cardboard boxes. Sharps containers must be ordered
and paid for by the unit.
Version 27, January 2021 26
If you have questions about RMW or any material you think may be RMW, contact Preventive
Medicine before you dispose of it (396-5882 or 643-2444).
Also, if your unit brought any Medical Chemical Defense Material (MCDM) auto -injectors from
overseas, they are not considered RMW. Those items need to be turned in to the appropriate
agency due to accountability issues. DO NOT throw them in the trash. Call Mr. Jaylin Gladney
from Womack Army Medical Center at 907-6311 for turn -in guidance, or Mr. Edwin Sanchez
at 910-907-6311.

Chapter Five
Water Pollution Prevention
Storm Water
Storm water pollution is the #1 source of water pollution in the United
States and the #1 threat to North Carolina's water quality. Storm water
occurs naturally whenever it rains. Most facilities have storm drains
{ where most of the rain runoff will flow. A common misconception about
#$ storm sewers is that they go to the wastewater treatment plant. This is
;' not the case. The storm sewer is a completely separate system that
transports storm water to the nearest river, lake, stream, or wetland.
When it rains the storm water from impervious surfaces (roads, buildings,
and parking lots) pick up pollutants on the ground and these materials
enter lakes and streams polluting the water and possibly killing fish and other aquatics. These
pollutants often include: soil sediment, bacteria, disease -causing organisms, oil, grease,
pesticides, heavy metals, and other potentially toxic chemicals. The water we drink here
originates on Fort Bragg, flows through our creeks and rivers to either Fayetteville PWC
or Harnett County to be treated and then becomes our drinking water (Not only for Fort
Bragg, but also for the surrounding communities). What you dump in the storm drain today
may be what you drink tomorrow.
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), which is part of the Clean
Water Act, requires Fort Bragg to implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWP3).
Fort Bragg has been issued a permit by North Carolina that allows us to discharge storm water
from our industrial areas through our drainage system into surrounding waters. Under the
permit, the DPW Water Management Branch (WMB) is required to regularly inspect storm
water outfalls for signs of pollutants.
The units are required to keep the drains free of debris and protect their storm drains
from pollutants such as POL, anti -freeze, paint or chemicals. ECOs/ECAs must know the
location of storm water inlets in their facilities and the locations of the outfalls. All storm drains
and outfalls associated within an industrial activity must be identified on the Spill Prevention
Plan.
Units are prohibited from storing hazardous materials or hazardous wastes on or near storm
drains. Based on the type of potential spill sources the facility has, the unit must have sufficient
spill response supplies on hand and positioned in proximity to the drains so they can be
prepared to respond in the event of a spill.
Illicit Discharges are any substances placed into the storm system that may be toxic to human,
animal, or plant life; something that is flammable, explosive, or corrosive; or more simply, any
discharge that adversely affects the waters of the State. Indicators of illicit discharges in storm
water runoff are as follows:
➢ Unusual color or cloudiness
➢ Strong pungent or musty odor
➢ Floating debris
Version 27, January 2021 28
➢ Surface scum or foam
➢ Oil sheen
➢ Excessive algae
➢ Storm pipes flowing during periods of dry weather
To report a suspected illicit discharge into our storm drainage system, call 911 or 432-
0911 from a cell phone.
The units should use best management practices to restrict the amount of pollutants that could
runoff during a storm and flow into the storm drains. Use drip pans under leaking vehicles and
ensure the prompt clean-up of minor spills on the vehicle line. Vehicles should only be final -
washed on approved wash racks with an operational oil/water separator. Ensure hazardous
material storage areas and controlled material containers have secondary containment and
overhead cover.
The ECO/ECA is also required to ensure that a record is maintained of point source
discharges made in their facilities. A point source discharge is simply draining water from
a container that will flow into "navigable waterways", which would include a storm drain, stream
or even a roadside ditch. The most common point source discharges occur when water is
drained from a secondary containment device. Use the Fort Bragg SPCCP Secondary
Containment Drainage Form, FB Form 2003-2, (Chapter Seven) to record point source
discharges made in your facility.
The Water Management Branch (WMB) is charged with controlling storm water and reducing
the effects it has on the natural resources of Fort Bragg and the six surrounding counties. The
WMB's mission is to ensure storm water runoff is controlled and to eliminate the possibility of
erosion and soil loss. This is accomplished through construction plan review, storm water
outfall and NPDES inspections, turbidity/sediment flow assessment, qualitative and analytical
sampling, oil/water separator inspections and public education and outreach.
New construction means an increase of hard, flat surfaces that storm water washes over en -
route to the storm drains. The water picks up pollutants and carries them into drains. Low
Impact Development (LID) is a method of land use that allows the water to filter naturally
through the earth and back into the ground water instead of into the traditional drains. North
Carolina's definition of LID is: A development is considered LID when the volume of runoff
leaving the site after development matches the volume of runoff before development. In
addition, an LID project should maintain adequate flows to the streams and wetlands on the
site rather than piping storm water to a single low point.
Version 27, January 2021 29
Through landmasses such as bio-swales, which are shaped like big ditches, and rain gardens,
water is collected, held on site for several hours, and then filtered back into the ground. This
prevents both excessive runoff and erosion and keeps pollutants out of
the storm drains. Another example of LID on Fort Bragg is the
sustainable parking lot next to the Environmental Classroom. Part of
the concrete is pervious and allows water to drain straight through into
the underlying ground. These examples of creative engineering allow
Fort Bragg to manage storm water more effectively and improve the
environment.
We are all responsible for protecting our waters on Fort Bragg. Never
let spills or a suspected illicit discharge go unreported. If you have
questions regarding the storm water program call 907-5581.
Fort Bragg Water and Wastewater Program
The water used by Fort Bragg is purchased from Fayetteville PWC and
Harnett County (Camp Mackall water comes from Southern Pines) and is safe
to drink. It is tested regularly to ensure it meets the strict guidelines for
drinking water. If you have concerns about your drinking water (taste, odor,
sediment or color), contact Preventive Medicine at 396-5882. They will come
to your facility and test the water for you. If the water is not safe to drink you will be immediately
notified.
Fort Bragg does have an issue with harmful materials and substances being poured down the
drains. Only wastewater must be allowed to go down our drains. Food, grease, oil, chemicals,
trash, etc. must be disposed of properly. Across the installation, flushing these materials down
the drain is the cause of many blockages and incidents of wastewater overflowing out of
manholes.
Grease in the housing areas and dining facilities is a real problem because it adheres to the
walls of the sewer pipes, hardens and causes blockages. When a blockage occurs, the
wastewater often overflows out of the manholes into the streets, yards, and storm drains that
flow to creeks, ponds and rivers. This untreated wastewater carries harmful bacteria that are
a health hazard to residents, children and soldiers. It also pollutes the waters and can
sometimes result in fish kills. All questions regarding grease management/disposal should be
directed to 908-3969.
Did you know there is only one site on Fort Bragg where units can get potable
water for field exercises, etc.? That is the water point site on Gruber Rd. If
you see non-military vehicles OR fuel trucks using water from this location,
please call the CAT team (POC numbers on page 4). It is vitally important to
prevent contamination of the potable water source on Fort Bragg!
Oil/Water Separators and Wash Racks
Most facilities on Fort Bragg have an oil/water separator (OWS) connected to the drains on
their wash racks or maintenance bays. OWSs are simple devices that allow small amounts of
oil residue to separate from wash water.
Version 27, January 2021 30
You can obtain a copy of your facility OWS manual by contacting the Water/Wastewater/Oil
Water Separators/Tank Program Support Manager at 908-3969. The Program Manager can
also provide site specific training on your OWS and provide you with a copy of the service
schedule.
It is very important that hazardous materials are not stored or drained on the OWS or wash
rack. The OWS or wash rack is not an approved secondary containment device; the drains on
the wash rack run directly to the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The OWS was never designed
or intended to work with large concentrations of POL. The introduction of POL products, fuel,
or any other hazardous materials could disrupt the function of the OWS, which may allow
harmful pollutants to pass through the separator into the environment.
The two activities that are permitted on the wash rack are limited to the final washing of
vehicles and emptying drip pans containing mostly rainwater.
Primary vehicle washing should be performed at the Central Vehicle Wash Facility located on
Longstreet Road. Call Mr. Smith at 432-1419 to register for the CVWF. Units must have a
trained representative to use the facility. Only the final wash should be performed at your wash
rack. Drip pans that contain more oil than water should be poured into your used oil tank or
drum.
Only approved detergents are permitted for use on the wash rack. A complete list of
approved detergents is available on the environmental class CD or by a request to your
inspector. Products like Purple Power and Simple Green are prohibited from use on wash
racks. These products emulsify the oil which allows any oil residue to pass though the
separator, defeating the purpose of the system.
Water Purification Exercises
Water purification units conducting field exercises must
follow the guidance put forth by the Preventive Medicine
office (396-5882) in Technical Bulletin TB MED 593. This
guidance (in addition to all guidance given by Range
Control) dictates what units can and cannot do with the
purified water as well as any other brine or wastewater
generated while in the field.
Spill Prevention and Response
The mission and OPTEMPO result in small spills occurring frequently on Fort Bragg. The
ECO/ECA must do their best to assist their units in preventing spills, but accidents happen and
spills occur. In the event of a spill, it is very important for units to take immediate corrective
actions to prevent hazardous materials from polluting water sources. Units/organizations are
responsible for the clean-up of all spills in their area. If the spill is beyond your clean-
up capabilities, call 911(or from a cell phone, 432-0911) and have the Fire Department
respond. Keep in mind that the single most important thing is safety. Use good judgment
and ensure your personnel have the proper personal protective equipment before they get
involved with spill response. If conditions are not safe, call 911(or from a cell phone, 432-
0911) and let the Fort Bragg Fire Department handle the situation. This includes weekends
and after hours spills.
Version 27, January 2021 31
If it is safe for the unit to respond to the spill, contain the spill and take steps to protect the
sewage and storm drains. Use the appropriate spill absorbent to clean up the spill and then
properly store or dispose of the contaminated spill material. For minor spills, it is always best
to use dry sweep for clean-up rather than spill pad or booms. Dry sweep is inexpensive to
purchase and it is easy to dispose of it. Use spill pads and booms for larger spills or if
immediate action is needed to prevent spilled materials from entering a drain.
Once spill supplies are used; they must be replaced in order for the unit to be prepared for any
future spills. Any size spills of fuel, solvents, oxidizers, acids, or highly flammable materials
that enters a storm drain or waterway (including ditches) and any spill over five gallons at any
location must be reported to the Fire Department immediately (911, 907-4813, or 910-309-
9506. The Fire Department will notify DPW, who will determine whether it is required to report
the spill to NCDEQ. If a unit fails to report a spill that meets these criteria, it could result
in Fort Bragg or the unit receiving a Notice of Violation (NOV) and possibly a fine.
If the spill happens on dirt, the unit must excavate until the spilled product
can no longer be detected in the soil. If you must dig deeper than 5 inches in
depth, you MUST call 396-0325 and order a NO -CUTS survey. DO NOT
excavate further until the survey is completed. If underground fiber optic
cables, gas lines, etc. are cut, the unit is liable for the cost of repairs. The unit
must also call the Hazardous Waste office at 396-2141 to report the spill.
It is vitally important that you contact the Fire Department (911 or on a cell 432-0911) and DPW
(910-309-9506) immediately if any material enters the sewer system, a storm drain or any
waterway (drainage ditch, creek, stream, etc.). This will allow the responder to take steps to
prevent any pollutant from spreading in the environment or limit damage to the environment.
Spill Plans
A spill plan is required for all facilities that have potential
spill sources. A spill source can be any storage area,
building or device that is used to store liquid materials or
wastes (ASTs, hazmat buildings, parts washers, etc.). The
spill plan is required to be reviewed and approved by DPW
annually.
A complete spill plan consists of five parts: the cover sheet,
a site diagram, a hazardous materials inventory, an
evacuation route map and written spill response
procedures.
Cover Sheet - The cover sheet is a specific form provided by Fort Bragg DPW (page 55). The
top of the form is mostly self-explanatory (unit, building number, POC and phone number).
The main body of the cover sheet is a table listing Source, Type Containment, Max Volume
and Direction of Flow. Under "Source", list any possible spill sources. This includes (but is not
limited to) ASTs, drums of antifreeze/used oil, parts washers, hazardous materials storage
sheds and the SAS. If there are questions as to whether or not something should be listed,
please contact your DPW CAT Team representative.
t
Version 27, January 2021 32
Once the entire spill plan has been reviewed and approved, the DPW CAT Team member will
sign and date the cover sheet at the bottom. Once it is signed, the spill plan is good for one
year as long as there are no changes made within the facility. The updated and signed Site
Specific Spill Prevention Plan must be readily accessible by all employees.
Site Diagram — The site diagram consists of a simple diagram or map that reflects the layout
of the facility. The diagram/map must show all spill sources listed on the cover sheet, the
direction of flow if they were to spill, the location of spill kits and the location of storm drains.
This diagram/map can either be produced on a computer or hand -drawn, but try to keep it
simple and easy to understand.
Hazardous Materials Inventory — This is a list of all hazardous materials stored by the unit.
The unit MUST utilize Fort Bragg Form 3007-E (page 51) for Emergency Planning and
Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA) reporting requirements. This list must be updated
annually or when significant changes occur. It must also be submitted electronically at the
time of the annual inspection to your CAT Team inspector.
Evacuation Map — This map must show the safest way out of the facility in case of an
emergency. This can be combined with the site diagram/map.
Written Spill Response Procedures The Spill Response procedures need to cover what
measures must be taken in an event of a spill. The ECO/ECA needs to ensure that the
personnel in the facility are trained on what to do if there is a spill. Personnel must know what
types of spill response equipment the unit has, where it is located and how to use it.
Version 27, January 2021 33
SPILL RESPONSE PROCEDURES
In the event of a spill, individuals must take the following actions:
1. Determine what type of material has been spilled.
2. Weigh all safety factors; check SIDS to determine health and physical hazards.
3. If it is not safe to begin spill response or if the spill too large for you to contain:
➢ Call the Fort Bragg Fire Department at 911(or from a cell phone, 432-0911).
➢ Notify supervisor.
➢ Wait for assistance.
4. If safe for you to begin spill response:
➢ Ensure your personnel have the proper personal protective equipment.
➢ Contain the spill (plug leaks or set container upright).
➢ Use spill absorbent or appropriate spill pads/booms to contain a spill.
➢ Sweep up absorbent and properly dispose of contaminated pads/booms.
➢ Turn in contaminated absorbent/materials to the DPW Hazardous Waste Office.
5. In the event of a fire:
➢ Call 911 immediately (or from a cell phone, 432-0911).
➢ Evacuate the area.
➢ Notify supervisor.
➢ Provide a copy of hazardous material inventory to fire fighters upon arrival.
➢ Do not attempt to put out chemical fires — conventional fire extinguishers may make the
situation worse.
➢ Any size spill of fuel, solvents, oxidizers, acids, highly flammable materials, or any
other hazardous material spill over FIVE gallons requires immediate notification of
the Fire Department (911 or from cell phone, 432-0911) and DPW (396-2823/396-
2141).
➢ Contact the Fire Department IMMEDIATELY if anything enters storm drains, the
sewer system or any other waterway (creek, lake, pond, ditch, etc.) during a spill.
➢ Never attempt to clean a spill without using the proper protective gear (gloves,
goggles, etc.).
➢ DPW must verify all spills over five gallons, even if cleaned up by unit.
➢ NEVER conceal spills from DPW - Failing to report spills may result in fines from
NCDEQ and EPA as well as civil/criminal penalties for willful neglect.
What is the correct spill pad for the job?
The rule of thumb is to always have plenty of spill supplies on hand. The trick is to make sure
the spill supplies on hand are specific to the spill material. Spill pads are color coded to make
them easy to identify in an emergency. For spills of fuel or oils, use white pads. For spills
involving water based hazardous materials such as anti -freeze, use grey pads. For spills ` ....
involving corrosives, use pink pads. All used absorbent pads must be stored properly until
turned into the HWRO at 396-2141.
Version 27, January 2021 34
Chapter Six
Common Work Areas/Issues
There are several common work areas and issues that ECO/ECAs will manage in their
environmental programs. The CAT Team has identified trends where issues are often
overlooked and become noncompliant. Make sure you focus on these areas and issues if they
apply to your environmental program and ensure they stay in compliance.
Arms Rooms — The unit arms room must have an established SAS because used weapons
cleaning materials are a hazardous waste. The DPW HWRO will provide units with approved
containers to store weapons cleaning waste, to include rags. The container must remain
closed when waste is not being added and it must have a properly completed Fort Bragg
hazardous waste label. The SAS must be inspected weekly and monthly using FB Form 3003.
It is recommended that the armorer be the SAS manager and be responsible for conducting
the weekly inspections. The unit ECO or ECA must visit the arms room at least once monthly
and complete the monthly inspection of the arms room SAS with FB Form 3003.
The arms room must also have an environmental binder with all the required documents and
references. The unit ECO/ECA should ensure the binder is up-to-date.
Motor Pool Shops/Aviation Hangars — It is important to keep these areas well organized
and clean. Ensure that Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) are available, containers are properly
labeled ("Dirty Dry Sweep", "Clean Rags", etc.) and an ECO/ECA poster is posted. The
ECO/ECA is responsible for ensuring that spills are cleaned up promptly and that the area has
adequate spill absorbent material available based on the amount of liquid hazardous materials
stored at the facility.
NBC Rooms — The NBC room should have a hazardous material inventory and SDSs for any
hazardous materials being stored. The unit NBC room should NOT have a SAS. NBC items
can be stored in the NBC room until the unit chooses to dispose of them. Once the decision
has been made to dispose of used NBC items, contact the HWRO at 396-2141 for
guidance. Reference page 22-23 of this guide for a list of the most common NBC items
that would need to be turned in to the Hazardous Waste Office. The unit must schedule
an appointment with the HWRO to have large quantities of NBC items picked up, while smaller
quantities typically must be transported by the unit. Call the HWRO for guidance.
Parts Washers — Clarus parts washers (and DPW owned Inland machines) are serviced by
DPW. Call 396-2141 for solvent replacement or removal, broken parts or leaks. Safety Kleen
parts washers are serviced by Safety Kleen on a routine service schedule. For emergency
service of a Safety Kleen machine call 865-5081. Parts washers that are owned by the unit
are required to be serviced by the unit. Waste solvent and used solvent filters must be treated
as hazardous waste and turned in to the DPW-HWRO.
Important: Keep parts washer/solvent tanks closed when not in use. An unattended, open
parts washer is a violation of the Clean Air Act and could result in a Notice of Violation (NOV)
Version 27, January 2021 35
from the EPA or NCDEQ. Do not store Government owned Clarus machines outside. Do NOT
pour paint, anti -freeze or fuel products in the machine.
Fuel Operations — Units are allowed to fuel vehicles inside the motor pool as long as both
vehicles are inside approved secondary containment. In addition to secondary containment,
the unit must have a fire extinguisher and a spill kit available.
Units are required to have secondary containment for all fuel tankers and/or fuel tanks that
contain fuel or have not been purged. Park fuel trucks at least 25 feet apart, ground them,
keep them away from storm water drains and have a spill kit available within 25 feet.
Fuel Tank and Tanker Purging Guidance
Units should utilize the Tanker Purging Facility. The primary purpose for purging a fuel tanker
or pod is to remove residual amounts of fuel and fuel vapor that would otherwise cause health
and safety hazards. Units are not allowed to purge vehicles using Citrikleen solutions that are
emptied into a wash rack. The Installation Tanker Purging Facility is located across from Pike
Field on McKellers Road. To reserve the facility, units must call the Hazardous Waste
Reclamation Office at 396-2141.
Use of the facility is by appointment. Units are encouraged to schedule the facility as far in
advance as possible.
Unidentified Waste/Materials — If a container is discovered that contains unknown or
unidentified material or waste, the unit should call the HWRO (396-2141). They will attempt to
identify the materials/waste and recommend a course of action. If needed, the HWRO will
remove the container of material/waste from site and store it at the 90-day accumulation site
while it is analyzed. Once the contents are determined, the material/waste will be disposed of
properly.
Freon Recovery — Small appliances that contain Freon (refrigerators, water coolers, window
air conditions, etc.) must have the Freon removed before the appliances can be turned in to
DLA Disposition Services or scrapped. DPW provides this service to units on Fort Bragg.
Note: This does not include military equipment. For units with military equipment
containing Freon, call MMD (396-2777) for Freon removal.
IMPORTANT: Releasing Freon to the atmosphere is a CRIMINAL OFFENSE. It must be
recaptured IAW Federal, State, and Local Regulations.
Units with non-military equipment such as appliances that need to be serviced should call the
DPW HWRO at 396-2141 to make an appointment. At the scheduled time, the unit will bring
their (clean) appliance to the HWRO at building number 3-1240. A technician will remove the
Freon from the appliance and provide the customer with a Refrigeration Removal Verification
Statement. When the appliance is turned in for disposal, this statement is needed to verify that
the Freon was removed.
Pesticides In response to DOD guidance, installations are required to reduce the amount
of pesticides and herbicides used. Over the last few years, Fort Bragg has dramatically
reduced the amount of pesticides used on post. In order to purchase or apply any pesticide
on Fort Bragg, you must be trained and certified to do so. Units must not locally purchase
Version 27, January 2021 36
pesticides or herbicides unless they have permission to do so from Alan Abellanosa, the Fort
Bragg Installation Pest Management Coordinator.
Fort Bragg DPW has a contract with a licensed pest control company to treat any problems. If
your unit or facility has problems with pests, termites or unwanted plant growth, call in a service
order to DPW at 396-0321. If you have any questions, contact Alan Abellanosa at (910) 908-
3245 or (910) 286-9903.
Asbestos - Asbestos is a set of six naturally occurring silicate minerals (chrysotile and that
belonging to the amphibole class amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, anthophyllite, actinolite)
exploited commercially for their desirable physical properties. The inhalation of asbestos fibers
can cause serious illnesses, including malignant lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.
Asbestos became increasingly popular among manufacturers and builders in the late 19th
century because of its sound absorption, average tensile strength, and its resistance to heat,
electrical and chemical damage. Asbestos was used in some products for its heat resistance,
and in the past was used on electric oven and hotplate wiring for its electrical insulation at
elevated temperature, and in buildings for its flame-retardant and insulating properties, tensile
strength, flexibility, and resistance to chemicals. However asbestos and all commercial forms
of asbestos are known to be human carcinogens based on sufficient evidence of
carcinogenicity in humans. Asbestos is a potentially hazardous substance used in facility
construction prior to 1980 due to its remarkable fire retardant properties. Asbestos -containing
materials occur in two forms: friable asbestos -containing material and non -friable asbestos -
containing material. The distinction between friable and non -friable asbestos lies in the
physical condition of the material.
a. Friable asbestos material means any material containing more than one percent
asbestos when dry, can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand
pressure. Examples of friable asbestos containing materials are pipe insulation,
texture ceiling tile and sprayed on acoustic coating.
b. Non -friable asbestos -containing material means any material containing more
than one percent asbestos that, when dry, cannot be crumbled, pulverized, or
reduced to powder by hand pressure. Examples of non -friable asbestos -containing
material include brake linings/pads, clutch linings, gaskets, asbestos siding and
roofing material.
Although it has been documented that exposure to asbestos may cause an increased risk of
developing diseases, it must be made clear that the results of the studies are based on
exposure to airborne asbestos fibers. If an asbestos -containing material is in good condition
and is not damaged to the point that asbestos fibers are released, there is little chance of
exposure to potentially dangerous airborne asbestos fibers.
Buildings on Fort Bragg must be inspected for asbestos prior to demolition or structural
renovation. Even newer buildings may have asbestos components. Vehicle brake pads with
asbestos liners must be turned into the hazardous waste office for disposal. If you have an
upcoming self-help project involving disturbance of building fixtures (walls, floors, ceilings) or
any concerns regarding damaged suspect asbestos containing material in your building or
Version 27, January 2021 37
workspace area that you feel requires further investigation, call the DPW ECB Asbestos
Program Manager, Bruce Billings, at 322-6338.
Asbestos Brake Shoes — Asbestos vehicle brake shoes are not encountered very often on
Fort Bragg. Asbestos brake shoes will usually have a label identifying it as having asbestos.
If you come across any asbestos brake shoes, immediately call the HWRO for disposal
guidance. Because of the toxic nature of asbestos, do not store any asbestos waste in your
SAS.
Version 27, January 2021 38
Chapter Seven
Additional Fort Bragg Environmental Entities
In addition to the DPW Environmental Compliance Branch (ECB), there are several other
environmental entities you should be familiar with on Fort Bragg. Contacts for the following
departments are listed at the beginning of this guide in the DPW Phone Roster.
Wildlife Branch
The Fort Bragg wildlife enforcement officers have been delegated by the installation
commander to protect wildlife and their habitats, to protect installation property and to ensure
public safety. Fort Bragg wildlife enforcement personnel are authorized to enforce all
applicable laws and regulations, issue military police reports and U.S. District Court violation
notices, carry weapons, make arrests and apprehensions in accordance with federal, state,
Army and Fort Bragg regulations.
Fort Bragg is not an open range. Entry into and use of training areas requires approval of
Range Control, DPTMS, DPW or the Hunting and Fishing Center. POVs, motorcycles, ATVs,
dirt bikes, bicycles or other off road vehicles are prohibited from all training areas and ranges.
POVs may access training areas for authorized specific activities. Swimming, jet skiing,
horseback riding and camping are prohibited, except in designated areas.
Federal law requires the protection of historic and archaeological sites on military reservations.
Fort Bragg has several historical sites such as cemeteries and churches, which are marked by
brown signs and off limits to all training. Relic hunting is prohibited on Fort Bragg and the use
of metal detectors is prohibited without written authorization from the Garrison Commander
and the DPW Cultural Resources Branch.
Personnel who hunt and fish on Fort Bragg must purchase the proper license at the DPW
Wildlife Branch office and comply with all federal, state, Army and Fort Bragg regulations. On
Fort Bragg, privately owned weapons must be transported safely, IAW state and federal
regulations.
For any questions concerning the Wildlife Branch, call 396-7506.
Cultural Resources
Cultural resources are the surviving materials of our collective
past; the evidence of the historical process. Their survival is
not by chance; these are resources that require proper
management, handling, preservation and interpretation. The
Army is the steward of all cultural resources located within the
boundaries of Fort Bragg. As good stewards, the Army is
responsible for identification, protection and care of these
resources. These cultural resources are diverse and have a
long history; they document human occupation and use of the
land for over 12,000 years!
Most people who work or train on Fort Bragg are unaware of the sites, artifacts and buildings
we call cultural resources. More than 6,000 archaeological sites have been identified within
Version 27, January 2021 39
the 250 square miles of the. post; over 300 of these have been systematically tested (Phase II)
and nine have been meticulously excavated (Phase III) and studied in order to learn more
about the people who lived in the past. Twenty-seven historic cemeteries, which date to the
early settlement period of the Sandhills area, are scattered throughout the training lands and
hold descendants of Highland Scots, African Americans, and Historic American Indians who
became farmers, turpentiners, and sawyers. One Civil War battlefield (at Monroe's
Crossroads) where a major skirmish took place in March 1865 is in a site now wedged between
McPherson and Coleman impact areas. There are also more than 300 buildings of historic
importance that still stand on Fort Bragg lands; two of these are 19t" century wood -framed
churches built by early Scottish settlers and their slaves. As one of the first industrial -age
military installations in the southeastern United States, Fort Bragg has a professionally planned
cantonment — known as The Old Post Historic District. It is one of the most visible and well-
preserved cultural resources on the installation. The XXVIII Airborne Corps HQ is located
within this historic district, along with new FORSCOM and Reservists Headquarters.
From its beginning in 1917 until 1997, Fort Bragg lands totaled about 130,000 acres. With the
purchase of an additional 30,000 acres in 1997 (from the former Overhills Estate and the
adjacent Weyerhauser Corporation lands), the installation now totals 165,000 acres, including
Camp Mackall and what was formerly Pope Air Force Base (now Pope Army Air Field). The
management and protection of such diverse cultural resources requires an active staff of
resource specialists, annual monitoring, and perpetual maintenance. The Cultural Resources
Management Program is located in the DPW compound and is open for visitation by
appointment. The CRMP Artifact Curation Facility houses over 400,000 artifacts from
archaeological sites, as well as historic documents, family records, maps, photographs and
reference materials.
There are several websites listed in the table below that provide a useful overview of issues
from federal and state legislation created to identify and protect eligible cultural resources, to
Native American Remains, and other resources associated historic properties and their proper
management.
On occasion, Fort Bragg Cultural Resources personnel conduct archaeological excavations
that are open to the public, typically targeted for mid -April and Earth Day Week celebrations.

During these excavations families, school groups, or other interested parties are welcome to
come and assist in the excavation of an archaeological site. Announcements for these events
are usually posted on the Cultural Resources website, well in advance of the date.
The FB CRMP staff conducts monthly tours to Monroe's Crossroads, the only Civil War
battlefield now on Fort Bragg. These tours are given by request only and can be scheduled
by calling the Cultural Resources office at 396-6680. Special tours are also given at the two
19t"-century churches (Long Street and Sandy Grove) and their adjoining cemeteries;
appointments can be made by calling the office. There is a self -guided, interpretive walking
tour of the Old Post Historic District; brochures and handouts that describe this tour are
distributed by the CRMP office as well.
Archaeological site excavations, battlefield research and oral history interviews generate
documentation that is available to the public. The Cultural Resources office periodically
reprints these documents for free distribution. Some of these include Sandhills Families: Early
Reminiscences of the Fort Bragg Area, the Fort Bragg Historic Cemeteries Report, Cavalry
Clash in the Sandhills, Overhills Oral History, etc. Digital copies of some publications can also
be accessed on the CRMP webpage.
Volunteerism has aided the CRMP efforts tremendously to catalog and clean artifacts, build
museum displays, assist in excavations, help with monitoring protected archaeological sites,
and a host of other work. Volunteers who want to become involved in the protection,
preservation, and interpretation of the past are welcome to contact the CRMP. If you or your
family are interested, please contact the CRMP by phone (396-6680) or come by the office
located at the northwest corner of Reilly and Butner Roads, just inside the DPW compound.
Endangered Species Branch
The Endangered Species Branch (ESB) is part of the DPW
Environmental Division, and responsibilities include inventory,
monitoring, protecting and managing endangered, rare and
threatened plants and animals and their habitats on Fort Bragg and
Camp Mackall. The Branch also supports Section 7 with biological
assessments.
The installations' approximate 160,000 acres occur within the fire -
maintained long leaf-wi reg rass ecosystem. Less than 3% of the
original 93 million acres exist today. This globally rare ecosystem
supports a variety of flora and fauna populations, many becoming
rare or endangered. The reservation along with adjacent forests, comprise the largest
remaining contiguous block of the ecosystem remaining in the state. Scattered old growth
trees across the landscape are the only remnants of the once vast forests, critical in the culture
and history of North Carolina.
Twenty three plant communities have been identified, providing a range of habitats for military
training as well as native species. Over 1,200 flora and approximately 350 faunal species are
�.. , documented and many rare species are uniquely adapted to the Sandhills. There are five
federal endangered species on the installations: 3 plant species (American Chaffseed, Rough -
leaved Loosestrife, Michaux's Sumac) and 1 insect species (the Saint Francis' Satyr Butterfly)
Version 27, January 2021 41
and 1 bird species (the Red -cockaded Woodpecker). They are protected by the Federal
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as well as the State and local Fort Bragg Installation Range
Regulation 350-6.
The endangered species habitats are marked to indicate areas with restricted training
activities. Endangered plant sites are marked by yellow diamond signs and are off-limits;
vehicle and foot traffic are prohibited in these areas. The RCW clusters are marked by white
diamond signs and two white painted bands. The painted bands indicate a cavity or start tree
used by the woodpecker and the signs indicate a 200 foot buffer area. Limited training is
allowed in the RCW clusters; please consult Fort Bragg Regulation 350-6, Chapter 3 or contact
Range Control (432-1161) for specifics. Additional information regarding training restrictions
can be found in Chapter H - Range Control. ESB is also responsible for rare, threatened and
other native species, except game species. For many species that are endemic to the
Sandhills, the majority of the populations are found on the installations. Programs include on-
going inventory, monitoring and research for many rare or other natives including plants,
mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and aquatic species. Currently projects, construction
and major training exercises are coordinated through DPW, ESB and DPTMS to avoid potential
impacts to these species as much as possible.
ESB is responsible for inventory, monitoring and management of invasive species as well.
These non-native species are tolerant to disturbance, have no predators so grow quickly, and
are easily spread by airborne seed, humans and animals. They are a leading cause of species
endangerment and extinction throughout the world. Encroachment impacting native habitats
can also eventually impede military training. To prevent the spread of invasive species, wash
down vehicles/equipment, plant native species and do not release exotic pets.
For questions concerning endangered, rare or other native non -game species, please contact
the DPW ESB at 396-2544.
Range Control
Personnel operating on the Fort Bragg training areas
should be familiar with environmental considerations
during field operations. Coordination is required before
engaging in activities that may impact air, water, soils,
vegetation or any other natural or cultural resource. Units
a should coordinate with Range Control four to six weeks
prior to training and provide specific information. on
planned activities. Range Control will issue the unit a
permit and a copy of that permit must be kept on site.
Activities of environmental concern are: engineering activities (mechanical excavation,
grading, tree cutting and demolition), field sanitation sites (field latrines, soakage pits, water
purification), fuel supply points (in excess of 500 gallons), field ammo supply points,
concentrated assembly areas (bivouacs, field motor park or major commo sites) and use of
fog oil, tear gas or other obscurants.
Some of Fort Bragg's biggest environmental issues are erosion, sedimentation of our water
sources, and contamination. Permits are required for any activity that requires digging through
Version 27, January 2021 42
Range Control. Any earth disturbance area greater than one acre requires a soil conservation
plan.
You can avoid causing erosion and sedimentation by limiting off -road driving, limiting damage
to vegetation, avoiding excavation in areas that show signs of erosion and filling your fighting
positions.
Contamination can be avoided by following these simple guidelines:
➢ Keep wastewater from shower points and laundry points from entering natural
waterways.
➢ Keep fuel storage areas and refueling points in excess of 500 gallons at least five
hundred feet from water sources.
➢ Set up a field SAS if you will be storing hazardous materials or generating
hazardous wastes at your field site.
After years of diligently managing the recovery program for the endangered Red -cockaded
Woodpecker (RCW), Fort Bragg removed more than 90% of the training restrictions in late
2012. Currently, only the "Green Belt" (i.e. area J, H, etc.), and the Camp Mackall training
areas retain these restrictions. Remember, the restricted, or "buffered" areas in the Green Belt
and Camp Mackall training areas can be identified by white warning signs posted to form a
200 foot buffer area around RCW cavity trees. The cavity trees are marked with two white
bands painted around the trunk of the tree. Training is still restricted inside that buffered area.
There is a fine and potential jail time for knowingly harming or harassing an endangered
species. The following activities are permitted for up to a two hour duration in RCW buffer
zones.
➢ Units may conduct foot movement and maneuver and fire blank ammunition for .50
caliber weapons and smaller.
➢ Light dismounted infantry can conduct hasty defense and use flares and simulators.
➢ Off road vehicle movement can be conducted within 50 feet of a RCW cavity tree
and vehicle maintenance can be performed.
With so many soldiers and units training on the Fort Bragg reservation, it's important that
everyone does their part to preserve our land. Take care not to damage trees and vegetation,
remove all trash and debris, clean up any spills and DO NOT bury any waste or trash.
If you discover any evidence of previous spills or dumped material in your training area, be
sure you contact Range Control at 432-1161 or on FM 38.90.
Additional Fort Bragg Environmental Initiatives
Sustainable Fort Bragg
In 2000, Fort Bragg identified environmental and resource challenges that had the potential to
place the long-term viability of the installation at risk. Training land shortfalls, massive amounts
Version 27, January 2021 43
of waste materials, non -attainment for ozone levels, erosion, and increased regulations and
restrictions on training operations and development posed as credible threats to mission
accomplishment.
In response to this threat, Fort Bragg leadership and community stakeholders became the first
Army installation to identify and adopt long-term installation sustainability goals. Generally
defined as `operating in a manner today that does not prevent the ability to operate in the
future', responsibility for environmental stewardship and implementation of sustainable
practices lies with each person and organization living, working, training or otherwise using
Fort Bragg. Goal Teams, consisting of military and civilian leadership from throughout the
installation, along with specialized Sustainability Planners, work across directorates, units, and
agencies to identify and rectify installation processes that could jeopardize resources.
In 2006, Fort Bragg's Garrison Command integrated Fort Bragg's 11 sustainability goals into
one strategic Garrison Goal: Fort Bragg — a sustainable community meeting the needs of the
Soldier today, tomorrow and forever. The new strategic goal successfully captures the original
11 sustainability goals in to a single primary installation goal. The integration of sustainability
into a Garrison Goal makes every Soldier, Unit, Directorate, agency, organization and Tenant
activity on Fort Bragg a responsible party in implementing sustainable practices. The new
"Army Strategy for the Environment" demonstrates DAs support of sustainability and
recognizes the interdependency of the Army's Triple Bottom Line of Mission, Environment, and
Community.
In April 2011, the Fort Bragg 10 Years of Sustainability report was published. This report
outlines the sustainability efforts and accomplishments in the 10 years since its inception on
the Installation.
Recognized at the national and state level, the award -winning Sustainable Fort Bragg initiative
offers outreach programs for soldiers, family members, civilian employees and children
through the DoD school system and assorted activities throughout the installation. Earth Day,
Arbor Day, America Recycles Day, and National Public Lands Day are several of the special
`environmental theme' days that Sustainable Fort Bragg supports with various programs and
events. Executive Order 13514 supports the integration and management of a sustainable
community on Fort Bragg.
Fort Bragg Garrison's Sustainable Community Goal and subsequent components are
summarized below.
Integrated Sustainability
Land Use: Create and enhance sustainable training and urban areas to ensure military
readiness and promote compatible growth of the surrounding communities.
Facilities: To become the model sustainable military community to the world by using
sustainable principles throughout the life cycle of all facilities and supporting infrastructure.
Materials/Commodities: Achieve zero waste through acquisition and management of materials
and commodities which throughout their life cycle create no additional waste nor require
resources for disposal.
Version 27, January 2021 44
Utilities: Supply reliable utility services and infrastructure with no negative impacts while
aggressively reducing overall demand.
/ Transportation: Build a sustainable world -class ground transportation network providing
t, -
seamless transition between multiple modes of travel while reducing harmful emissions.
r
Sustainable Culture: Create a culture which fosters sustainable lifestyle to enhance the quality
of life of the Fort Bragg community. This encompasses the social, mental, physical and spiritual
well-being of its members.
Green Purchasing
Personal and operational choices impact the waste stream, whether it is a personnel office,
housing, or a motor pool. Purchasing products that support waste reduction reuse or recycling
— commonly referred to as "green procurement"— has various benefits that facilitate effective
accomplishment of the mission and sustainability. Purchasing decisions can significantly
influence the environmental performance of the installation, since the procurement process
heavily influences the wastes and emissions that must be managed and paid for. When we
buy a hazardous material, at the end of its life cycle it may become a hazardous waste that is
costly to manage and dispose. When we buy products or design buildings that are not energy
efficient, we pay higher utility bills and contribute to regional air pollution — which in turn can
limit our mission essential operations. Water -wasting products and systems drive up costs for
water purchase and wastewater treatment — wasting funds that could be used for mission
requirements. The goal of green procurement is to use environmentally responsible
procurement practices to avoid these impacts.
The federal government encourages green purchasing practices through Executive Order
13101 "Greening the Government through Waste Prevention, Recycling". Fort Bragg is
diminishing the environmental impacts of their wastes through a Green Procurement Program
(GPP), increasing the purchase of environmentally preferable products.
Fort Bragg's goal is to work towards 100% Environmentally Preferred Purchases (EPP) by
2025 for all purchases including credit cards, contracts and military requisition by soldiers, civil
service and contract employees on the installation.
Fort Bragg Air Program
Virtually every process that emits pollution into the atmosphere
is regulated somehow under the Clean Air Act and Army
Regulations. The items below are the most typical sources for
Fort Bragg. For any related questions, call the DPW ECB Air
Program Manager, Mike Fischer at 907-3975 or Jeff Sloop
394-8464.
Boilers — All boilers must be added to the Fort Bragg air permit
prior to its installation or construction, a process that typically
takes months. In addition, if there is a large group of small boilers to be installed under one
project, this situation will require further review and notification to the Air Program Manager.
Generators — The same rules outlined above for boilers also apply to emergency generators.
Version 27, January 2021 45
Painting — Small, maintenance -type painting (brushes, spray cans) is allowed. Large scale
and routine painting in a booth, with spray guns, ventilation, filters, etc., must be reviewed for
permit applicability prior to construction of the booth. Call the DPW ECB Air Program
Manager, Mike Fischer at 907-3975 for details.
Open Burning — The burning of man-made debris (even in burn barrels) is prohibited
everywhere in NC, especially on Fort Bragg. Classified document destruction can be
arranged through the DCIS Classified Material Destruction Facility (C-1629) (432-2488). The
burning of vegetation onsite is permitted under certain conditions (land clearing, forest
management, recreation, etc.). Call the DPW ECB Air Program Manager, Mike Fischer at 907-
3975 for details or access the NCDAQ website at http://dag,state.nc.us/enf/openburn/.
Indoor Air— Indoor air issues and mold are not managed by DPW. Questions related to indoor
air quality must be directed to the Department of Preventive Medicine at 396-7595/643-2447.
Training Smoke and Training Dust— Smoke pots, smoke grenades and other manufactured,
emissions -causing training aids are exempt from air permitting requirements. However, as
with dust from vehicles during training these could become a nuisance issue if visible
emissions are allowed to drift off post. Also, installation agencies such as Wildlife
Management, Range Control, Endangered Species, the fire department and Forestry have
restrictions on these activities and must be consulted if in doubt.
Parts Washers and Solvent Use Management — Keep all parts washers closed when not in
use. Solvent contaminated rags (Non -arms room) must be stored in a metal container with a
metal lid labeled "Dirty Rags" (for laundering). Arms room rags must be stored separately in a
properly secured DPW/DOT approved container and labeled with a hazardous waste label.
