VACAPES Range Complex FEIS/OEISChapter 3 Affected Environment andEnvironmental Consequences3.2 – Haz Materials/Haz Wastehttp://www.naspensacola.navy.mil/logistics/chrimp.pdf. The 2005 Hazardous Materials Minimization,Hazardous Waste Reutilization and Disposal Guide, which is available on the Internet athttp://www.cnrma.navy.mil/environmental/ hazardous_waste.htm, provides points of contact and detailedinformation regarding shipboard hazardous waste and hazardous material turn-in. These documentsprovide a comprehensive compilation of procedures and requirements mandated by law, directive, orregulation. They have a compliance orientation to ensure safe and efficient control, use, transport, anddisposal of hazardous waste.3.2.1.2 Assessment Methods and Data UsedGeneral Approach to AnalysisEach alternative analyzed in this EIS/OEIS includes several Primary Mission Areas (for example, MineWarfare, Air Warfare, and Surface Warfare), and most warfare areas include multiple types of trainingoperations, such as surface-to-air gunnery exercise and surface-to-air missile exercise. Likewise, severalactivities, such as weapons firing, target deployment, are accomplished under each operation. Some typesof MEM, such as bombs, missiles, small-caliber ammunition, and marine markers, are common tomultiple activities.To address potential impacts, the approach to analysis includes characterizing the yearly test and trainingoperations that may contribute MEM and MEMC to the VACAPES Study Area ocean environment. Thissection of the EIS/OEIS reviews the MEM and MEMC associated with training on the ocean range.Specific MEM categories analyzed include bombs, missiles, targets and countermeasures, marine markers(smoke floats), naval gun ammunition, smalls-arms and close-in weapons system ammunition, chaff,flares, and underwater detonations. For each category, a general characterization and quantity used ispresented, followed by a description of the anticipated fate and transport of the MEM and MEMC once ithas introduced into the environment. Potential impacts on environmental resources are addressed in othersections of this chapter as appropriate.Study AreaThe study area for MEM and MEMC is the same as the VACAPES EIS/OEIS Study Area that isdescribed in Section 1.5 and is shown in Figure 1.5-1Data SourcesPrior EAs, EISs, marine resource assessments (MRAs), studies, databases, and websites were reviewed.Numerous federal, state, and local regulations governing the handling, storage, and disposal of waste andhazardous materials (see Appendix K) were also researched.Primary Mission Areas and Associated Environmental StressorsAspects of the proposed actions that are likely to act as stressors were identified by conducting ananalysis of the PMARs, operations, and specific activities included in the alternatives. Appendix Dprovides detailed descriptions of the VACAPES Study Area operations. Table 3.2-1 presents identifiedMEM stressors and their association with specific operations that would occur within the VACAPESStudy Area. Checkmarked cells in Table 3.2-1 indicate that MEM is associated with the operation andthat the activities and associated training item(s) are carried forward for detailed analysis in thisEIS/OEIS.3-16 March 2009
