§ 650.236 - Exhibit 1—Proposed Project.  


Latest version.
  • (a) An Exhibit 1 will be prepared and maintained current for all known pollution control projects using the format in Figure 10-1 and for valid environmental protection resource requirements using the format in Figure 10-2. Exhibit 1's previously submitted on air and water pollution control projects which are still valid, but not yet completed, do not have to be resubmitted in the new format except when a significant change takes place to make the earlier Exhibit 1 obsolete. Exhibit 1's are not required for completed proj-ects.

    (b) Exhibit 1's for new or revised projects or requirements will be submitted semi-annually by November 15, and May 15, of each year to DAEN-FEU based on the latest information as of 30 days prior to the above reporting dates.

    (c) Each project will be identified as to the category of pollution control needed (i.e., air, water, solid waste, radiation, noise, pesticides, and environmental management). Projects within a category will be assigned consecutive numbers by DAEN-FEU beginning with “1.” Project numbers are for permanent identification and may not be reassigned to new projects. Existing air and water pollution control projects previously numbered under RCS DD-I&L(SA) 1383 are to be continued under their originally assigned numbers. These project numbers apply strictly to this report and are not to be confused with or to replace programing line-item numbers.

    (d) Each project at the same installation required for a distinct and separate purpose is to be considered a separate project. Separate projects will be reported individually using the project number assigned by DAEN-FEU.

    (e) Every item in Figures 10-1 or 10-2 is to be completed for each project. Where no entry is appropriate, enter NA (Not applicable). A specific effort must be made by the installation to obtain any information not immediately on hand.

    (f) The following will be reported as other relevant information:

    (1) Item 10 of Exhibit 1 will include information not shown elsewhere on the exhibit which is necessary for the evaluation of the project. For example, where the command knows of changing circumstances which will affect the practicability of undertaking a project at a particular facility (e.g., replacement of a facility or a change in installation mission which would alter control needs), these changes are to be stated. If a project is discontinued, state in this item the reasons and circumstances, if any, which might lead to a re-activation of the projects (e.g., plant is put in layaway; re-activation would be based on further troop strength increase or mobilization requirements).

    (2) For facilities leased by the Army which are subject to the provisions of this regulation, describe under Item 10 the lease arrangements that would affect the requirements for control measures for such facilities. Such projects will be included in Exhibit 2 with a reference in the margin to the explanation given on Exhibit 1.

    (3) If a project proposed in one environmental category is likely to generate pollution of other types, Item 10 is to include a brief description and how it is to be controlled.

    (4) Citations or other forms of litigation by regulatory agencies or other official entities will be reported under Item 10.

    (g) Enter in Item 11, Figure 10-1 or Item 5, Figure 10-2 known or estimated funding requirements by appropriation account (OMA, MCA, etc.). (This source of project and cost data can be helpful to major commands in the development of annual budget requests to support their environmental program.)

    (1) Air—(i) Item 2. Identify the pollutant(s) by name for which the project will be required (for example: Particulate matter, sulfur oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, etc).

    (ii) Item 3. State the amount of pollutants emitted by each point of emission being controlled within the facility. These amounts should be measured amounts if available and expressed in the same terms of the applicable emission standard, normally State standards (e.g., lb/hr, ppm, etc.) in Item 8 at maximum process operating rate.

    (iii) Item 4. Identify the specific emission point(s) which the project will control. This identification should be specific (e.g., two coal-fired boilers in building “xyz” rather than just “boiler”).

    (iv) Item 5. Specify the existing pollution control measures at the individual emission points. If no control measures are being utilized, so state.

    (v) Item 6. Indicate the percentage of the pollutant which the control device removes.

    (vi) Item 7. Indicate the type control device or process modification to be utilized to control emissions.

    (vii) Item 8. Cite the applicable Federal, State or local air pollution emission control standard which the facility is required to meet, referencing the specific code, chapter, and part. Also, include the date the statutory requirements became effective.

    (viii) Item 9. Indicate the project schedules proposed by the installation and that required by the statutory standards listed in Item 8. If the schedule for achieving compliance differs from statutory, regulatory, or other milestones and deadlines, indicate the dates the facility will meet them and explain why the statutory or regulatory dates will not be met. If a compliance schedule has been negotiated and accepted by the Regional EPA administrator, list those dates in lieu of those cited in a statute or regulation and indicate the date the compliance schedule was accepted.

    (ix) Items 10 & 11. Complete according to instructions § 650.236 (a) through (f).

    (2) Water—(i) Item 2. Describes specific pollution and nature of problem, e.g., unintercepted washrack wastes containing oil and grease; overloaded sewage treatment plant bypasses raw or partly treated sewage to river; combined sewage overflow carries untreated sewage to lake, etc. Use this item and items 3, 6, and 7 as appropriate to describe infiltration inflow problems and measures required by NPDES permit and/or by “Spill Control and Countermeasure Plans” formulated pursuant to 40 CFR part 112, “Oil Pollution Prevention,” and promulgated in chapter 9 of this regulation.

    (ii) Item 3. Show amount of waste generated and treated. Indicate gpd, tgd, or mgd.

    (iii) Item 4. Show whether discharge is due to water (name of receiving water and location thereon), sewer system (name), land application, subsurface (e.g., septic system, drainfield, etc.).

    (iv) Item 5. If problem as described in items 2 and 4 does not relate to an existing or proposed treatment plant, identify in this item the plant, if any, which ultimately receives, or will receive, and treats the wastewater.

    (v) Items 6 and 7. In appropriate item, show existing and proposed ppm and/or lbs. in influent and effluent and percent removal for all principal polluting constituents. As a minimum Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) (Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and total organic carbon (TOC) where applicable) and suspended solids data should be shown wherever possible.

    (vi) Item 8. Cite the applicable Federal, State or local discharge standard which the facility is required to meet, referencing the specific code, chapter and part. Also include date statutory requirement became effective. Briefly summarize the discharge limitations if a NPDES permit has not been issued. When a draft or final NPDES permit has been issued, indicate:

    (A) When a permit application was submitted;

    (B) The application and/or permit number, and the effective and expiration dates of any permit(s) issued; and

    (C) The conditions of each permit in summary form, other than the compliance dates which are to be entered in item 9.

    (vii) Item 9. Indicate the project schedules proposed by the command and as required by the standards listed in item 8.
