These lands are a critical national asset for defense readiness, dedicated to providing realistic training and testing environments for army units and equipment. The locations and physiographic diversity of the Army's current land inventory is a function of historical precedent, modern-day land expansions, and requirements for strategic projection of forces. Many Army lands are relatively undeveloped, providing important ecological settings for a variety of flora and fauna, including many threatened and endangered species. As a responsible land steward, the Army is committed to protection and sustainable use of these natural resources, with concurrent benefit to both the army and the public. Army training and testing activities can cause environmental impacts that may be detrimental to the long-term sustainment of ecological functions. These realities pose significant land management challenges to the Army. The application of established ecologicalframeworks for strategically assessing land-use impacts and land management approaches is demonstrated for 31 major Army installations, using Bailey's “ecoregion classification system,” developed by the U.S. Forest Service. The Ecoregions framework is used to (1) classify and catalog the ecological diversity of Army lands, (2) provide a comparative framework for assessing land resiliencyfrom Army impacts, and (3) extrapolate knowledge of perturbed ecosystem behavior and response from one army installation to others in similar ecoregions.","PeriodicalId":100523,"journal":{"name":"Federal Facilities Environmental Journal","volume":"10 3","pages":"9-26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/ffej.3330100303","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"93590670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

EPA has targeted these chemical depainting agents for elimination. For years, OC-ALC engineers have been aggressively evaluating environmentally acceptable (EA) chemical strippers for replacing methylene chloride and phenol. One of the more promising is a benzyl alcohol-hydrogen peroxide two part chemical depainting agent. Recently, there have been a number of concerns. Upon mixing the benzyl alcohol-hydrogen peroxide chemical stripper, it is theorized that a targeted hazardous air pollutant (i.e., phenol) is generated, thereby violating the NESHAP (National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants) requirement. In addition, there is concern of a potential explosion hazard when mixing hydrogen peroxide. This article addresses the potential concerns by conducting both a literature search to evaluate potential problems (i.e., health concerns, explosive hazards, chemical stability, chemical reaction mechanisms/pathways, chemical reaction end- and by-products, etc.) and laboratory experiments to determine if phenol is produced as an end-product, by-product, or reaction step intermediate.","PeriodicalId":100523,"journal":{"name":"Federal Facilities Environmental Journal","volume":"9 3","pages":"113-126"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/ffej.3330090312","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74703391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Increased concerns by regulators and the public over environmental and safety issues have recently brought increased attention to munitions and range management. Munitions management and western land withdrawals have been the DOD's range focus for the last five years in order to meet congressional mandates. Munitions management emphasis has yielded such direction as the Military Munitions Rule, DOD Directives 4715.11 “Environmental and Explosive Safety Management on Department of Defense Active and Inactive Ranges,” AF Instruction 13–212, and the developing Munitions Action Plan (MAP) and draft Range Rule. While munitions safety and environmental impact on our ranges are very important, they are only the most publicized of the numerous interrelated range challenges, such as noise and encroachment. DOD rangeland withdrawals have introduced new range management requirements. Numerous DOD ranges have come under attack with some actually being shut down. Attempts to establish new ranges have faced stiff opposition resulting in significant changes, decreased capabilities, and greatly increased costs. New weapon systems are being developed with increased range and autonomy that drive the need for expanded range capabilities. These events all highlight the fundamental role comprehensive range planning must fill to support sustainable ranges within DOD. This article proposes an overarching companion document to the draft MAP: a Range and Airspace Action Plan (RAAP). Three keys to the RAAP comprehensive sustainable range planning are presented: defining ranges comprehensively, documenting current range environmental impacts through National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and comprehensive planning for a sustainable future.","PeriodicalId":100523,"journal":{"name":"Federal Facilities Environmental Journal","volume":"11 2","pages":"17-25"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/ffej.3330110204","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79055554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
