4.
PROCEDURES. The IAS program will:
a.
Delineate Coast Guard sites that pose little or no potential threat to human health
and the environment from those sites that warrant further investigation.
b.
Review historical waste generation and disposal practices and types of hazardous
substances (i.e., contaminants and hydrocarbons as defined by CERCLA and
RCRA) associated with the site.
c.
Investigate potential off-site migration pathways and affected media as well as
comprehensive survey of target receptors.
d.
Obtain comprehensive information of the site and surrounding areas including
hydrogeologic and geologic characteristics.
e.
Conduct a site survey to review for any past, present or future areas of hazardous
substance release.
f.
Develop a report detailing all findings and recommendations.
g.
Develop a numerical scoring system for the site that is compatible with the scoring
done by Preliminary Assessments.
h.
Develop a user-friendly database that contains IAS information.
5.
RESPONSIBILITIES. The responsibility and authority associated with the implementation
of the IAS program are delegated to FDCCLANT. At the beginning of each fiscal year,
FDCCLANT will coordinate with MLCs, CEUs, and HQ units to develop a list of sites to
be surveyed and to submit the list to Headquarters Environmental Management Division,
Commandant (G-SCV-3) for prioritization and approval, based on funding availability. The
IAS will also support recommendations, if warranted, for a Site Investigation project that
may require complex technical and contractual efforts. If the cost for such a project is less
than 0,000, the responsible CEU may undertake the project. If the cost is 0,000 or
more, FDCCLANT will consult with the responsible MLC, CEU, or FDCCPAC as
appropriate prior to proceeding.
