Regulatory Compliance Context

High number of environmental bills, rules, and permits proposed each year

Regulations, rules, and permits are more stringent than Federal requirements.

Majority of SW Navy and Marine Corps installations are in California

Level of regulatory oversight is evidenced by the high number of inspection days, environmental permits, and reporting requirements

CA regulatory context leads to high environmental restoration, compliance, and conservation costs

California has aggressive, multi-level air, water, and other media regulatory agencies

Environmental Focus Areas/Challenges1. Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake Earth Quake

Recovery 2. National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Timelines

• Environmental Assessments (EA) – 1 year or less, Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) – 2 years or less

3. Increased scrutiny by regulatory agencies – more enforcement

4. AFFF Replacement and PFAS investigations5. Air permits with broader coverage and additional

documentation requirements6. Staffing challenges 7. Organizational Changes in the NAVY

• Navy Working Capital Fund (NWCF) Transfer to General Fund

• Single Budget Submitting Office for Shore Facilities


PFAS Overview – Background

•Emerging contaminant–No Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) regulatory standards

• EPA issued a non-regulatory lifetime health advisory (LHA) for PFOA and PFOS in drinking water

–Not currently regulated under Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) or Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)

–Number of “total” PFAS compounds keeps climbing• PFOA/PFOS• USEPA current targeted list is 18 compounds• Potentially thousands of compounds in the group or class

–Limited toxicological information available–Limited EPA standard analytical methods –Wide number of products that can be source

• => multiple potential exposure pathways


Why DON is responding to PFAS? •DON used

–Aqueous Fire Fighting Foam (AFFF) includes PFOA/PFOS

–Other industrial processes also sources•Growing national interest in potential health effects from exposure

•DON priorities:–Address PFOA/PFOS to protect personnel living and working on our installations

–Protect the surrounding communities that have been potentially impacted

•Environmental and biological persistence–Distributed worldwide in animals and humans

•EPA Office of Water has issued Administrative Orders based on their Lifetime Health Advisory (LHA)

17 NAVFAC Southwest

Addresses issues in the following areas: •Drinking water on DON active installations•Assessing completed pathways for drinking water off active installation

•DON cleanup program–DON active and BRAC installations with history of use–Groundwater evaluation by conducting installation wide Preliminary Assessment/Site Inspection and continue CERCLA process

•AFFF Replacement•RISK COMMUNICATION throughout the process is critical

DON PFAS Comprehensive Strategy

11/11/2019

Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), 1980; Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA), 1986; National Contingency Plan (NCP) as amended 1990

http://www.secnav.navy.mil/eie/pages/pfc-pfas.aspx


Applicable Policies

These are consistent with CERCLA, NCP, DERP Statute (10 U.S.C. 2701), and SDWA

•DoD Policy, Investigating Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances within the Department of Defense Cleanup Program, October 15, 2019

•DoD Instruction 4715.06, Environmental Compliance in the United States,” May 4, 2015

•DoD Instruction 4715. 07, “Defense Environmental Restoration Program,” May 21, 2013

•DoD Instruction 4715.18, “Emerging Contaminants (ECs),” June 11, 2009

•ASD(EI&E) Memorandum, “Testing DoD Drinking Water for Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS) and Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA),” June 10, 2016

•Emerging Contaminant Governance Council Meeting Results January 28, 2016


Drinking Water on Our Installations

•Completed unregulated contaminant monitoring rule (UCMR) 3 testing and reporting in December 2015

•DON has tested for PFOS/PFOA where DON supplies drinking water –Completed sampling and testing of all DON drinking water systems for PFOS/PFOA

•In SW, DON has identified a drinking water system where DON is the water supplier, which tested above the LHA

–DON is following the USEPA advisory recommended actions to include taking wells off line and providing alternative drinking water

–These actions break the exposure pathway•Where DON is not the drinking water supplier, installations are encouraged to ask if their drinking water suppliers have tested the drinking water and determine if the results are below the LHAs

DON has taken proactive steps to provide clean drinking water on our installations


Assessing Complete Pathways for Drinking Water off DON Installations

•Where DON suspects a release may have migrated off-base, we have:

–Sampled private drinking water wells if there was a suspected or known release that migrated off-base

•Steps DON has taken–First priority for DON was to work with the communities and private individuals to break the exposure pathway

–Identified potential public or private wells near installations where there is a potential for PFOA/PFOS releases and sampled these wells

–DON moved quickly and aggressively to address and cut off human exposure via drinking water

–Currently going through the complete CERCLA process

DON Cleanup Approach on Our Installations

11/11/2019

•DON is following the CERCLA process to address these suspected releases†

–First step identifies the source(s) of a known or suspected release–Then identify if there is an exposure through drinking water–If there is exposure, DON priority is to cut off drinking water exposure–Once exposure pathway is broken, the site is prioritized and will follow the CERCLA process to fully investigate the release and determine the appropriate cleanup actions based on risk

•The DON is conducting additional investigations, which include sampling groundwater.

•Installations also engage with the community through:–Restoration Advisory Boards–Public meetings –Distribution of fact sheets

† Reference: Defense Environmental Restoration Program, 10 U.S.C. Section 2701


DON Follows the CERCLA Process

• Preliminary Assessment/Site Inspection (PA/SI) – Identify releases–Use EPA’s Regional Screening Levels to determine whether to continue to a Remedial

Investigation• Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) – Investigate and characterize the release

and evaluate remedy alternatives–Perform Risk Assessment – new risk screening policy for human health–Evaluate Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs)–Develop Proposed Plan and Decision Document

• Remedial Design/Remedial Action/Remedial Operation (RD/RA/RA-O)– Implement and operate remedy

• Long Term Management– Monitoring and Five Year Reviews

• DON prioritizes sites by risk level, but other factors may be considered*Estimated average timeframe to address installation restoration sites

DON is Replacing AFFF

11/11/2019

•ASD (EI&E) issued a policy in January 2016 requiring the DON to:–Issue risk management procedures to prevent uncontrolled land-based AFFF releases

during maintenance, testing, and training activities, except for shipboard use where practical

–Remove and properly dispose of PFOS-based AFFF from the local supplies

•DON is taking actions to remove the AFFF containing PFOS from the supply system

–AF funded removal of PFOS-based AFFF from all land vehicles in FY2016

•Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program/Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (SERDP/ESTCP) initiated fluorine-free AFFF programs starting in FY2016

–Nine Research and Development projects initiated in FY2016 and FY2017 aimed at alternative foams

–Four Demonstration projects will be initiated in FY2019 to investigate fluorine-free AFFF systems and their ability to meet the Military Specifications
