Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - All scrap metal is recycled to the maximum extent possible. Source Reduction: Source Reduction - Department of Defense policies have limited the use of lead in general-use products such as solders, adhesives and coatings for decades. To implement this policy, all products are screened for lead content prior to use. Lead-containing products are only permitted for use as required for operational necessity. |

| 2020 |
Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - A bullet trap at the small arms range was installed in 2014. When combined with range clearing procedures, these two measures ensure that 100% of used lead rounds are recovered and recycled. This accounts for all range lead used at Naval Base Kitsap - Bangor. |

Source Reduction: Ways P2 Was Incorporated in Original Process Design - In 2018, the Trident Refit Facility at Naval Base Kitsap Bangor Introduced 3-D laser scanning and water jet cutting for constructing lead ballast bins. The introduction of this technology ensures the new bins are the exact size as the ones being replaced, and the result is less use of lead.

Barriers: B6-Barriers to P2 B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas
|
Other Environmental Practices - The lead utilized at the installation is utilized within ammunition expended at the installation small arms range and in munitions utilized at the smallExplosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) training demolition site. The lead usage is unavoidable and core to the installation's mission of national security.Although a decent amount of lead is used at the installation ranges, the amount of lead released to the environment is minimal due to the use of bullet traps and high efficiency filtered ventilation at the small arms range and the use of a burn pan at the EOD training demolition site. In August 2014, the installation began recycling most of our spent bullets from the bullet traps. Spent bullets from the small arms range were previously being sent offsite as hazardous waste.
Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - The lead utilized at the installation Ranges is utilized within ammunition expended at the installation small arms range and in munitions utilized at the small Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) training demolition site. The lead usage is unavoidable and core to the installation's mission of national security. This activity is expected to remain relatively constant in immediate out years. Lead releases are minimized by the use of bullet traps and high efficiency filtered ventilation at the indoor installation firing range. Lead releases at the EOD training range are minimized by the use of a burn pan. |

Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - Facility instructions and P2 procedures prohibit the use of lead in general use products such as solders, adhesives, and coatings. Products are prescreened for lead content prior to approval for their use at the facility. Therefore, non-exemptible lead usage should continue to remain low. This process has been in place for several years. |

Source Reduction - Naval Base Kitsap Bangor instituted a CHRIMP (Consolidated Hazardous Material Reutilization and Inventory Management Program) for several tenant commands that operate within the boundaries of the installation that had not previously been managing their Hazardous Materials in accordance with CHRIMP principles. Several industrial tenants of the installation that were were not previously CHRIMPED were brought into a Command Navy Region Northwest CHRIMP program during Calendar Year 2013. As part of CHRIMP, hazardous materials management is more actively managed with respect to new product authorization and inventory management in order to minimize hazardous material usage and waste. |

Other Environmental Practices - The Navy employs an active pollution prevention program with a dedicated staff member whose main job function is to identify opportunities and implement procedures to achieve hazardous material usage and waste reduction.
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - This form R is being submitted for lead usage in non-range activities. Only a very small amount of lead was utilized in non-exempt non-range activities at the NBK Bangor facility in Calendar year 2012 (less than the 100 pound reporting threshold). However, due to DOD policy, since the NBK Bangor facility exceeded EPCRA 313 reporting thresholds for the use of lead in range activities, a separate lead Form R for the facility is being submitted for Non-Range lead usage. |
||
| 2012 | Other Environmental Practices - This Form R represents lead usage as part of range activities at the NBK Bangor facility. For military installations, DOD guidelines require separate reporting for lead utilized in range and non-range activities. Range activities are located at two locations at the facility, an indoor small arms range and an Emergency Open Burning/ Open Detonation (OB/OD) site. The small arms range is located indoors and is equipped with bullet traps and pollution control devices to capture lead fumes prior to the building's ventilation exhausting to the atmosphere. The OB/OD site is a small emergency and training site with a Burn Pan and is also designed to minimize releases to the environment.. Use of the two sites is integral to the Navy's national defense mission and will continue at current rates. However, due to the design of the facilities and operational procedures in place, very little lead is released to the environment as a result of these activities, and thus the environmental impact of these activities is minimized. The Navy employs an active Pollution Prevention Program with a dedicated staff member. The Pollution Prevention program's purpose is to identify and implement facility processes to minimize the use of toxic chemicals and hazardous waste generated by the facility. The Navy's program works directly with the technical folks to target and identify opportunities for reduction in hazardous material usage and waste management. | ||
| 2011 | Other Environmental Practices - The Navy employs an active Pollution Prevention Program with a dedicated staff member whose purpose is to implement facility processes to minimize the use of toxic chemicals in facility materials and to minimize hazardous waste generated by the facility. | ||
| 2011 | Other Environmental Practices - The Navy employs an active Pollution Prevention Program with a dedicated staff member whose purpose is to implement facility processes to minimize the use of toxic chemicals in facility materials and to minimize hardous waste generated by the facility. | ||
| 2010 | Other Environmental Practices - This Form R is being submitted for lead from Range Activities that are part of the overall facility. Range activities are located at two locations at the Facility, an indoor small arms range and an Emergency OB/OD site. The small arms range is located indoors and is equipped with pollution control devices prior to building ventilation exhausting to the outside atmosphere. The OB/OD site is a small emergency and training site with a Burn Pan. Therefore, although range activities cause the otherwise use threshold quantities for lead to be exceeded, due to the design of the facilities and procedures in place, very little lead is released to the environment. All air and land release estimates were obtained using the DOD's TRI-DDS reporting tool. |

The Waste Management Hierarchy |
The waste management hierarchy established by the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) guides waste generators toward the best options for managing wastes.
The preferred option is to prevent pollution at its source, but for waste that is generated, the preferred management methods are recycling, followed
by burning for energy recovery, treatment and, as a last resort, disposing of the waste.

- A breakdown of production-related waste managed. This includes all amounts of the chemical released directly to the environment or otherwise managed as waste, other than waste generated by one-time events not associated with normal production processes (e.g., fires or remedial actions).
- A production ratio or activity index to provide context for reported toxic chemical quantities. For example, if a chemical is used in the manufacture of refrigerators, the production index would track the number of refrigerators produced and could be used to help gauge how much of the chemical is being released per unit of production.
- Any newly implemented source reduction activities, reported using "W-codes" (e.g., "W41: Increased purity of raw materials")
