6 Orange - States and Regions with Stockpile and/or Chemical Weapons/Material destruction Blue - States and Regions with No Stockpile Chemical Weapons/Material CMA Site Map

7 CMA EMS History Executive Order 13148 – April 2000 October 2000 – Generic EMS Gap Analysis October 2002 – 1 st CMA Site to Self-Certify to ISO 14001 (Pine Bluff Chemical Disposal Facility) May 2005 – 1 st Combined Installation and Tenant to Self-Certify to ISO 14001 (Umatilla Chemical Depot/Chemical Demil Facility) November 2006 – 1 st Installation with Mission Beyond CMA Scope to Self-Certify to ISO 14001 (Pine Bluff Arsenal) CMA EMS History

8 CMA EMS Participants Installations Stockpile Tenants CMA Installations and Chemical Activities –UMCD and Pueblo Chemical Depot –PBA –Blue Grass Chemical Activity Technologies –Incineration and Alternatives CMA EMS Participants

9 CMA EMS Standard Approach Utilize same CMA EMS Visiting Team at all sites –Provides continuity and information-sharing among CMA sites Kick-off/Site-Specific Gap Analysis Aspects/Impacts Analysis Establish Objectives and Targets Draft Procedures and Policy Develop EMS Manual CMA Visiting Team Internal EMS Audit Management Review Third-party Self-certification Audit by USACHPPM ISO 14001 Lead Auditor Annual Surveillance EMS Audits CMA EMS Standard Approach

10 Case Study Examples Target-Specific EMS Goals 1)Energy Efficiency (Tooele Chemical Agent Disposal Facility shutdown liquid incinerator earlier after trial burn) 2)Green Purchasing (PBCDF replaced janitorial products with biodegradable substitutes) 3)Recycling and Reduction of Hazardous Material White paper recycling Lubricant consolidation: 470 lubricants to 10 lubricants Program-wide EMS Goals 1)Site Specific Cross-Functional Teams, including engineering, operations, environmental, purchasing, etc. - Benefits: coordinated site business and mission strategy 2)CMA-wide EMS Information Sharing - Benefits: experiences from one site transferred to another site CMA EMS Case Studies

11 CMA Site Recognition ANCDF Environmental Award from Army Industry Award from Calhoun County (Alabama) Chamber of Commerce PBCDF Nomination for Presidential Award for Environmental Excellence Washington Lion Award TOCDF Energy Efficiency Received Nomination for Presidential Award for Environmental Excellence CMA EMS Recognition and Awards

12 All CMA sites and 3 related installations have Self-Certified to ISO 14001 Continuing Annual Surveillance Audits Identifying opportunities for identifying and implementing sustainable practices (EO 13423) CMA EMS Advisor What’s Next for CMA EMS?
