Sustainable installations Optimize military training Provide a high quality of life Have a mutually-beneficial community relationship Are cost-effective to operate throughout life-cycle Sustain natural resources for today and tomorrow ASE Goals Strengthen Army operations Meet test, training, and mission requirements Enhance well-being Minimize impacts and total ownership costs Innovation and a sustainability ethic are foundational.
Most important question in life what to do next Collaboration between NDCEE and installations to prioritize tech needs Demonstration projects identified infrastructure training lands transportation waste/procurement 5
Infrastructure DPW lead Goals Facilities meet platinum SPiRiT/LEED standards Energy renewable, secure energy Water reduce use, improve quality Potential demonstration projects reuse of modular buildings - NDCEE performance of green buildings ESTCP proposal better, cheaper erosion control LID for ranges large scale on-site grey water multi-reuse hydrogen production from wastewater Penn State Micro-Grid renewable energy Savannah River NL 6
Infrastructure DPW lead Progress Fort Bragg opens first Gold facility at no additional first cost 4 more under construction Forts Carson and Bragg reduce potable water use 40% 7
Military Training Land Management DPTM lead Goals optimize use of existing training lands create easements/buffers around fencelines Potential demonstration projects landfill mining wide area UXO identification/discrimination UXO tagging/tracking remote identification Navy portable enclosed alternatives to OB/OD Navy clean up of active ranges to allow multiple use infrared monitoring/tracking of endangered species on-site range scrap recycling 29 Palms Progress CERL urban development scenario tool released 8
Transportation DOL Lead Goals reliable and convenient (reduced congestion) secure clean (emission-free), renewable fuels Potential Demonstration Projects integrated installation-community transportation planning Progress AAFES selling E85 at Fort Benning!!!! Initial talks between Fort Lewis and Conoco-Phillips Many alt fuels in use at many installations 9
Procurement DOL/DOC lead Goals cyclable non-toxic local materials zero waste Potential demonstration projects Waste to energy DOE Savannah River, MISER deconstruction of concrete/masonry buildings closed loop purchasing of furniture, bedding biomass to energy waste to Progress Braggdad built Initial meeting with Sustainable Business Council has almost-zero waste picnic in 05!! ACSIM to follow suit in 06!! 10
Regional Planning Goals regional planning across fencelines and jurisdictions compatible land use regional education ACTUAL Demonstration projects SERPAS four-state initiative OSD National Association of Counties curriculum for military and county planners OSD Strategic Sustainability Assessment AEPI Progress Sustainable Sandhills becomes non-profit!! 11
What Next? Support sustainability planning at 12 remaining Cat 1 installations Systematically align dem/val opportunities, partners Army, OSD, DOE, USDA, industry Invest in learning curve drive innovation Develop sustainability dashboard Morph EMS to Sustainability Management Systems 12
