EMS Training – DLM/ES&H Division/March 7-8, – Legal and Other Requirements procedureidentifyhave access legal and other requirements organization subscribesapplicable The organization shall establish and maintain a procedure to identify and have access to legal and other requirements to which the organization subscribes, that are applicable to the environmental aspects of its activities, products and services. ISO 14001:1996 Standard

EMS Training – DLM/ES&H Division/March 7-8, 2005 Implementation Philosophy  Use existing process where they work  Build separate process if needed  Converge the multiple processes later if possible  What process exists that could be used to maintain the list of legal and other requirements?

EMS Training – DLM/ES&H Division/March 7-8, 2005 History  Worksmart Standards  Identified all legal, DOE, consensus standards which applied to NETL  ISM  Converted WS standards to ISM-related standards  EMS  Use of ISM identified standards and their relation to EMS – called the FOCUSED STANDARDS LIST

EMS Training – DLM/ES&H Division/March 7-8, 2005 Focused Standards List  DOE Directives  Other DOE Requirements  Executive Orders  Federal laws/regulations  State laws/regulations  Local ordinances  ES&H References (consensus) Standards

EMS Training – DLM/ES&H Division/March 7-8, 2005 The Challenge: How to Maintain the FSL?  Bi-weekly regulatory updates  OSHA  EPA  DOE  State/Local/Reference Standards  Rely on the program manager who is the subject matter expert  Relationships with local regulators  Directives Process  References and requirements are captured in directives

EMS Training – DLM/ES&H Division/March 7-8, 2005 Directives Process  Four Tiers of documents  Tier 1: Policy  Orders  Notices  Tier 2: Strategy/Implementation  Operating Plans  Procedures  Tier 3: Operational Control  Standard Operating Procedures  Tier 4: EMS Records  Forms  Other records Directives Process

EMS Training – DLM/ES&H Division/March 7-8, 2005 Example 450.1, Environmental Management System , Environmental Media Release Management , Ambient Air Quality Management , Groundwater Quality Management , Surface Water Quality Management , Industrial Wastewater Management , Spill Prevention and Control Management , Waste Handling, Storage and Disposal , Waste Minimization, Pollution Prevention, and Recycling Program POLICY STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION

EMS Training – DLM/ES&H Division/March 7-8, 2005 Reference Section  In each directive (order/notice, operating plan, procedure)  DOE Directives (orders, policy, manuals, guides)  Regulations (state, local, CFR, USC)  Consensus standards (ANSI, ASME)  This makes up the universe of our legal and other requirements for all ES&H programs

EMS Training – DLM/ES&H Division/March 7-8, 2005 Example  New Water Quality Standard is issued:  40 CFR XXX  Directive is revised  , Groundwater Quality Management  References Section is updated to include new standard  Directive is entered into tracking system  FSL is updated  Includes hyperlink to new standard, if available  Order hardcopy if hyperlink is not available

EMS Training – DLM/ES&H Division/March 7-8, 2005 Lessons Learned  The FSL meets ISO requirements  Forces the SME to be more judicious in choosing references  Each one must be tracked  Used an existing process to meet a new need  One contractor maintains the directives process and the FSL  Virtually no additional cost  FSL is accurate and timely
