International Organization for Standardization
• Founded in Geneva in 1946• Until the 1980’s ISO dealt only
with product standards (ISO film speed, paper sizes, thickness of credit cards)

ISO Management Systems• ISO 9000 – first voluntary
“management system” standard • ISO 14000- Environmental Management
System

FWA Environmental PolicyThe U.S. Army Garrison Fort Wainwright (USAG FWA) is firmly committed to a policy of environmental stewardship for all lands under USAG-AK control. The USAG FWA’s policy of environmental stewardship is a commitment to the following:
•Compliance with all applicable legal requirements;•Prevention of pollution through identifying, implementing and
promoting pollution prevention strategies, and;•Continual Improvement through setting and reviewing
environmental goals, objectives, and targets.
•The entire policy can be found on:

Identifying Environmental Aspects and Impacts
• Environmental Aspect: element of an organization’s activities, products or services that can interact with the environment
• Environmental Impact: any change to the environment, whether adverse or beneficial, wholly or partially resulting from an organization’s activities, products or services
![Page 15: Environmental Management System (EMS) Awareness Training...• EMS required by Executive Order 13148, 13423, and 13514. • DA Policy Memorandum, 13 Jul 01 • USAG-AK Policy Memorandum](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081621/613226e8dfd10f4dd73a4364/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Developing Environmental Aspects
• Aspect: Firing Munitions• Impact: Air emissions, HW
and SW generation
• Aspect: Vehicle Refueling Spills
• Impact: Contaminated land and groundwater
Examples of Aspects/Impacts:
![Page 16: Environmental Management System (EMS) Awareness Training...• EMS required by Executive Order 13148, 13423, and 13514. • DA Policy Memorandum, 13 Jul 01 • USAG-AK Policy Memorandum](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081621/613226e8dfd10f4dd73a4364/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Identifying YOUR Aspects & Impacts
• Do I generate a waste when I change oil in a vehicle?
• Do I endanger the wildlife when I train?
• Do I actively participate in my organization’s recycle program?
![Page 17: Environmental Management System (EMS) Awareness Training...• EMS required by Executive Order 13148, 13423, and 13514. • DA Policy Memorandum, 13 Jul 01 • USAG-AK Policy Memorandum](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081621/613226e8dfd10f4dd73a4364/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Objectives & Targets
• Objectives- overall environmental goal, arising from the organization’s policy statement, … which is quantified where practicable. Your end goal.
• Targets- detailed performance requirement, quantified where practicable, ... that needs to be set and met in order to achieve the stated objectives/goals.
![Page 18: Environmental Management System (EMS) Awareness Training...• EMS required by Executive Order 13148, 13423, and 13514. • DA Policy Memorandum, 13 Jul 01 • USAG-AK Policy Memorandum](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081621/613226e8dfd10f4dd73a4364/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Examples of Objectives & Targets • Objective: Reduce hazardous
waste generation.• Target: Using 2003 as a baseline,
30% reduction by 2006
• Objective: Material substitution for hazardous chemicals. • Target: Perform a material
substitution study by FY2006

Training, Awareness, and Competence
• Importance of regulatory compliance, and the importance of compliance with the environmental policy and EMS requirements
• Potential negative environmental impacts of the employee’s work. The positive effects of improved performance on their part.
• Consequences of failure to comply with the above.
![Page 20: Environmental Management System (EMS) Awareness Training...• EMS required by Executive Order 13148, 13423, and 13514. • DA Policy Memorandum, 13 Jul 01 • USAG-AK Policy Memorandum](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081621/613226e8dfd10f4dd73a4364/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Checking and Corrective Action:Monitoring & Measuring
• Evaluate environmental performance (e.g. Installation Status Report)
• Assess compliance with legal requirements (Environmental Performance Assessment System and internal assessments)
• Identify areas requiring corrective action (Installation Corrective Action Plan)
• Improve performance and increase efficiency
