a.
General.
(1) Corps Projects and Facilities. This paragraph (11-18)
addresses the Corps policies and responsibilities for proper
environmental stewardship of Corps operated and maintained Civil Works
projects and facilities. Elements of the Corps Environmental
Management System are presented. Policy guidance is contained in ER
200-2-3, Environmental Compliance Policies, dated 30 October 1996.
(2)
Sponsor Projects. This paragraph (11-18) does not apply
to projects operated and maintained by sponsors. While the
environmental laws apply equally to projects and facilities
irrespective of who operates them, this paragraph (11-18) includes
Corps regulations, procedures and processes that are not imposed on
others.
(3) Outgrants. All real estate outgrants have a provision
that requires the grantee to protect project property against
pollution of its air, ground, and water. Disposal of any toxic or
hazardous materials on the premises is specifically prohibited. All
laws, regulations, conditions or instructions affecting the grantee's
use of land issued by the Environmental Protection Agency, or any
Federal, state, interstate or local governmental agency having
jurisdiction are made a condition of the outgrant. Periodic
compliance inspections are performed to assure the grantee's
compliance with all environmental provisions. If noncompliance is
found with an environmental provision that is potentially a regulatory
violation, the lessee must be notified in writing. The appropriate
regulatory agency will determine if there is a violation, and when
compliance is achieved. (See ER 405-1-12, paragraph 8-99.e(3)(d))
b.
Environmental Compliance.
(1) Policy. The Corps will be a proactive facility leader in
attaining and sustaining compliance with environmental standards
established in applicable Federal, DOD, DA, state, and local laws and
regulations. Locks, dams, dredges, campgrounds and property under
Corps control and facilities under lease or license, such as marinas,
oil and gas exploration and extraction areas, and grazing lands, must
be managed to be compatible with the environment.
(2)
The Environmental Compliance Program.
