FOREWORDThe environmental compliance inspection checklist was produced for the National ShipbuildingResearch Program (NSRP) as a cooperative cost shared effort between the U.S. Navy andNationalSteel and Shipbuilding Company (NASSCO). The Facilities and Environmental EffectsPanel (SP-1) of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME) Ship ProductionCommittee sponsored the project under the technical direction of Lyn Haumschilt of NASSCO,NSRP Program Manager.The environmental checklist was prepared by NASSCO with John Martin acting as ProjectManager. John Wittenborn, partner with the law firm Collier, Shannon and Scott of Washington,D.C., acted as project legal consultant and provided invaluable legal expertise as well as coauthoring this checklist.We wish to thank the following shipyards and their representatives for reviewing and providingcommentson the final checklistDana Austin and Tim Sturdavant of Southwest Marine Inc.George Curtis of Norfolk Shipbuilding Company.Fran Cohen of U.S. Coast Guard YardCW02 Mark Purvis of NAVSEA 07I&Eiv
INTRODUCTIONThe checklists were designed by shipyardenvironmental engineers and attorneys whoare familiar with both shipyard operationsand all of the applicable environmentalregulations. The checklists do not containcomplex legal language that is oftenpervasive in environmental regulations.Rather, the checklists are drafted in astraightforward and easy to understandmanner targeted to the specific shipyardoperation that the requirement is seeking toregulate. Generally, the checklists ask “yes”or “no” questions and provide areas forcomment or other relevant information.While the checklists are designed to assistshipyards in deteminining the yard’scompliance with environmental regulations,use of the checklists will not assurecompliance with all environmentalregulations. The checklists’ primry focusare on compliance with federal regulations.Where appropriate, however, the checklistsindicate when it is necessary for the auditorto consult relevant state regulations. Thus,the checklists are meant to serve asguidelines that highlight the complianceissue and direct the auditor to theappropriate regulation if the auditor desiresmore information. As a result of thisstructure, shipyards are encouraged to tailorthe checklists to meet their uniqueoperational needs. Because audit reports thatdocument potential compliance problemscan become a two-edged sword, shipyardsmust wisely use the information obtainedand be prepared to address and resolveareas of concern.This booklet is designed to assist shipyardowners and operators in complying with thenumerous federal environmental regulationsto which they are subject. The enclosedchecklists are to be used by shipyards tomonitor compliance with requirements inthe areas ofAirWaterHazardous wasteTanksCommunity-right-to-knowMedical wastePCB management Pesticides Waste minimization Property transfersIn a time when there are moreenvironmental regulations than ever beforeand increasing liability for environmentalviolations, it is important for shipyards todevelop a comprehensive environmentalmanagement program. In today’s regulatoryclimate, what you don’t how can hurt you.A strong environmental managementprogram consists of several elements,including a company structure that reflectsthe company’s understanding of theimportance of environmental matters,company-wide c o m m i t m e n t t oenvironmental compliance, regular internalenvironmental audits, and companypreparedness to address environmentalviolations. The enclosed checklists provide auseful tool in the development of such aprogram. Not only will the checklists assistshipyards in assessing environmentalcompliance, but use of the checklistsdemonstrates to the public and regulatoryagencies that the yard is committed to
