Environmental Restoration Program Optimization (ERP-O)

DESCRIPTION

The Environmental Restoration Program Optimization (ERP-O) is a pivotal framework aimed at systematically reviewing cleanup activities within installations to safeguard human health and the environment. Leveraging tools and expert guidance, ERP-O ensures that restoration activities are conducted effectively, with minimal risk and optimal costs. It encompasses essential components like Investigation Process Optimization and Remedial Process Optimization, complying with federal mandates for continuous performance evaluation. By maximizing effectiveness and minimizing environmental footprints, ERP-O positions itself as a cornerstone for sustainable restoration practices.

  2. Outline • ERP-O Definition • Mission • Purpose • Components • Tools / Products • Analysis / Impact

  3. ERP-O Definition • Definition • Mission Environmental Restoration Program Optimization (ERP-O) Definition: 119 RPO and 32 LTMO Visits Since 1999 • Environmental Restoration Program Optimization (ERP-O) is a comprehensive and systematic review of an installation’s past, current and planned cleanup activities whose goal is to ensure protection of human health and the environment over the entire restoration life-cycle at minimal risk and optimal costs. • Purpose ERP-O Foundation • Tools / Products • Components • Analysis/ Impact ERP-O provides all the needed tools to manage risk and complies with AFSO21 3

  4. ERP-O Mission & Vision • Definition • Mission • ERP-O Mission • Maximize the effectiveness and minimize the financial liabilities and environmental footprint of the USAF restoration program through competent technical leadership and guidance • Purpose • Tools / Products • Components • Analysis/ Impact • ERP-O Vision • Be the USAF Environmental Restoration Program preferred, efficient and reliable optimization source 4

  5. Why are we doing this? • Definition • Mission • President’s Management Agenda (Section 5, 2002) directed all Federal Agencies to focus on performance, ensuring programs are evaluated to determine if their funding is actually accomplishing the intended goals • Management Guidance for Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP), Sep 2001, mandates continuous reviews of response actions, ensuring protectiveness and optimization of remedial actions • Management Guidance for the Air Force Environmental Restoration Program, Feb 2003, requires annual optimization reviews for sites with an installed remedy • Optimization directed by SAF/IEE memo, Air Force Cleanup Program Performance-Based Management Policy, 27 Oct 04 • Implementation of the RPO Policy directed by USAF/ILEV memo, Remedial Process Optimization (RPO) Policy, 5 Mar 05. • AFI 32-7020 will require RPO • Purpose • Tools / Products • Components • Analysis/ Impact Bottom line: ERP-O is an AF and CMS Requirement 5

  6. ERP-O - Components • Definition • Mission • Environmental Restoration Program Optimization encompasses 3 environmental program processes • Investigation Process Optimization (IPO) • Remedial Process Optimization (RPO) • Technical Assistance Visits (TAV) • Purpose • Tools / Products • Components • Analysis/ Impact 6

  7. ERP-O- Roles & Responsibilities • Definition • Mission • Purpose • Tools/ Products • Components • Analysis/ Impact • AFCEE/CMS • define the strategic requirements • provide funds as required • AFCEE/TDV • Provide technical leadership and management • Conflict of Interest Free (COIF) contractors • Coordinate the visits • Prepare reports for CMS/TDV • Track the recommendations • A&E contractors • Provide logistical support, technical assessment, and report preparation • Last, but not least, the role of the Bases and RPMs is important in the overall ERP-O process • Provides key corporate knowledge 7 7

  8. ERP-O -Tools/Products • Definition • Mission • Remediation Risk Management Tool • Sustainable Remediation Tool • Well Optimization/Management Tools • WWW.ERP-O.ORG Portal • Conceptual Site Model (CSM) • PBC Tool • Environmental Decision Information Tracking Tool (EDITT) • System Inventory • Performance Tracking Tool • Decision Document Inventory • ERP-O Tracker • Site Inventory • RPO Recommendation Tracking Module (R2TM) • LUC/IC Inventory • TI Waiver Questionnaire • Purpose • Tools/ Products • Components • Analysis/ Impact

  9. ERP-O Portal- Includes R2TM • Definition • Mission • Purpose • Tools/ Products • Components • Analysis/ Impact • ERP-O Portal • Provides use of management and communication tools for a diverse and diffuse AFCEE ERP-O Team, including scheduling and file transfers • This is the only place where the working current schedule resides 9 • Provides one stop shop for ERP-O recommendations and quantifies value added • Recommendations from RPO visits are tracked on this matrix • Provides value-added results from ERP-O Reviews in the form of reduced life cycle cost, risk, and duration • RPO Recommendation Tracking Module (R2TM)

  10. Remediation Risk Management • Definition • Mission • Remediation Risk Management Tool • Evaluates programmatic, technical, and regulatory risk and generates a risk profile and risk score • Can be used to compare changes in risk over time • Tool has user friendly interface driven by drop down boxes • Purpose • Tools/ Products • Components • Analysis/ Impact • Tool will be included in RIPS/EDITT

  11. Sustainable Remediation • Definition • Mission • Sustainable Remediation Tool (SRT) • Aids environmental professionals in incorporating sustainability concepts into their remediation decision making process • Purpose • Helps plan for the future implementation of remediation technologies at a particular site • Evaluate optimization of remediation technology systems already in place • Compare remediation approaches based on sustainability metric • Tools/ Products • Components • Analysis/ Impact

  12. Environmental Decision Information Tracking Tool (EDITT) • Definition • Mission • Why EDITT?... Business Processes • Only AF enterprise database that captures remedial system type, cost and performance • Purpose • Tools/ Products • Components • What?... Data • System & Technology Inventory and Performance Data • System capital construction data • System O&M cost, life-cycle, legal drivers • Decision document inventory • Analysis/ Impact • Results • Better understanding of the number and type of remediation systems, when they were installed, and the O&M cost for each system • Technology trend towards more energy efficient technologies; away from the more active and longer life-cycle technologies 12

  13. EDITT Land Use Control / Institutional Control (LUC/IC) Inventory • Definition • Mission • Includes annual reminder of LUC/IC requirements • Meets required reporting and O&M requirements • The LUC/IC Inventory is available in EDITT as a single web page with the following input: • Purpose • Tools/ Products • Components • MAJCOM & Installation • Site ID (AFRIMS) • LUC/IC ID • Type and Classification of LUC/ID Matrix affected • Acres impacted • Current and Future Land use • LUC/IC Objective/goals • O&M requirements (activities and frequency) • LUC/IC Termination Criteria • LUC/IC Termination Date • OPR & POC • OPR and POPC Contact Information • Analysis/ Impact LUC/IC Module Includes Inventory Graphics* *Notional (Module by June 2009) 13

  14.
