Description
The Environmental Protection program within the Navy is dedicated to ensuring compliance with environmental laws and regulations. This initiative supports the Navy's global operations while adhering to environmental requirements without compromising performance or safety. Key areas of focus include shipboard waste management, environmental sustainability development, marine mammal research, and addressing issues related to the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility.
Shipboard Waste Management aims to enable Navy vessels to comply with environmental regulations in areas such as liquid waste management, hazardous material control, and ballast water management. The program involves updating databases for oil spill prevention, investigating alternative refrigerants for shipboard use, and developing protocols for new waste management technologies. The Naval Surface Warfare Centers play a significant role in executing research and development responsibilities for these initiatives.
Environmental Sustainability Development identifies shore-side environmental requirements and develops technologies that address these needs while minimizing costs and regulatory oversight. The goals include maximizing training range availability within environmental constraints and minimizing the environmental footprint of platform maintenance. It also focuses on supporting shore readiness by reducing emissions and hazardous material usage.
Marine Mammal Research is dedicated to understanding the impact of Navy operations on marine life, particularly concerning underwater sound. This project develops tools for planning, monitoring, and mitigating potential impacts on marine mammals. It encompasses areas such as marine ecology, criteria for measuring sound effects on marine life, and mitigation methodologies that improve monitoring capabilities while reducing operational costs.
The Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility project addresses fuel leaks from storage tanks by focusing on water resilience technologies and hydrogeologic modeling. It also involves innovation initiatives aimed at improving tank cleaning verification processes. Although funds were allocated in FY 2023 for these efforts, no additional funds are planned for subsequent years under this project line.
