JBLM Sustainability Goals

1. Reduce installation stationary source and non-source motorvehicle air emissions 85% by 2025

4. Create sustainable neighborhoods for a livable JBLM communitythat enhances the Puget Sound Region

6. Maintain the ability of JBLM to meet its current and future

military missions without compromising the integrity ofnaturaland cultural resources, both on the installation and regionally

7. Recover all listed and candidate federal species in the PugetSound Region

2. Sustain all activities on post using renewable energy sourcesand generate all electricity on post by 2020

3. Reduce total energy consumption by 30% by 2015

8. Treat all wastewaters to Class A Reclaim Standards by 2020 to

conserve water resources and improve Puget Sound water qualityNET ZERO WATER by 2020

NET ZERO ENERGY by 2020

5. Cycle all material use to achieve zero net waste by 2020NET ZERO WASTE by 2020

Net Zero

Net Zero (NZ) Defined - NZ Energy produce as muchenergy on the installation as it uses,over the course of a year

NZ Water limit use of potablefresh water and capture, repurposeor recharge an amount of waterequal to greater than the amount ofwater the installation consumes

NZ Waste consider the wastestream when purchasing items,reducing the volume of packaging,reusing as much as possible and

recycling the rest

Achieve Net Zero Waste

The Strategy -

Green Procurement

Diversion Repurpose

Recycle

Compost

Aggressive No Dumping Program

Community Engagement

~ Diverted in excess of 70% Solid Waste in 2010


7/21

Federally mandated program that affects the typesof products and services purchased on theinstallation

Requires the purchase of products with recycled and bio-based content

energy and water conserving products; equipment andfixtures

Provides net basis for zero waste equation Reduces the amount of virgin material consumed

Eliminates non-recyclable or reusable materials fromentering the installation

Green Procurement Program



8/21


Process Aggregates/ Organics- Saves contract cost to disposeof and provides ready feedstockfor next project

Maximize Recycling andMaterial Reuse

Model Motor Pool- Identifies, segregates, recycles/reuses major waste streams

- Saves money

- Increases safety and efficiency


9/21

Organic Waste Diversion



10/21

Inorganic Waste Diversion



11/21

Program Accomplishments

In 2010 the JBLM Earthworks facility diverted35,378 tons of waste material

The Earthworks produced 15,683 tons of recycled

waste-derived products to include the following: Compost Recycled Concrete and Asphalt Aggregate Mulch Soil Products

Diversion Cost Avoidance = approx. $1.5M

Recycled Product Value = approx. $129K



12/21

Deployment Waste Diversion



13/21

Illegal Dumping Program

implemented in 2005

A monetary claim is issued by theOJA Claims Office to cover all clean-upcosts

3900+ illegal dump sitesinvestigated; 1875 sites cleaned up

OJA claims = 490+; approx. 125+claims filed annually

Cost avoidance averaging $125-150K/yr

JBLM is #1 in claims recovered in theArmy

Illegal Dumping Program

Achieve Net Zero Water

The Strategy

1. Treat all wastewater to class A reclaimed waterstandard no wastewater discharged to PugetSound

2. Manage and infiltrate storm water into theaquifer

3. Reuse process water


15/21


o

Current facility usesoutdated technology

o New facility will be capable ofproducing class A reclaimedwater

o Actively pursuing to insertinto FY13 and FY14 MCAprogram

o Convey treated water backupstream for reuse andinfiltration into the aquifer

Irrigation of main paradefield prime opportunity for

water reuse

Treat all Wastewater Treatment Plant effluent toClass A reclaimed water standards and reuse

JBLM Wastewater Treatment Plant


16/21


Manage storm water

Low Impact Development

Onsite infiltration

Reuse of stormwater to

create wetlands

Reuse process water

Water from Superfund pump& treat site provides coolingwater for Madigan HVAC systemand infiltrates to groundwater

Stormwater diversion from JBLM North turns

a former landfill borrow pit into a wetlandsarea and infiltrates runoff into the localaquifer


17/21

Achieve Net Zero EnergyThe Strategy

Energy Conservation reduce demand by >30% oftodays usage

Improve efficiency of existing, enduring buildings thru UtilityEnergy Services Contract (UESC)

Improve energy performance via MCA construction to LEED goldand platinum standards, or better

JBLM has just awarded the WTU Administration construction as aLEED platinum Net Zero Energy building (with a Ground SourceHeat Pump)

Renewable Energy Generation Develop renewable energy resources at both JBLM and JBLM

Yakima Training Center

Wind and solar at JBLM-Yakima Training Center

JBLM Biomass and a possible potpourri of other energyinitiatives


18/21

Achieve Net Zero Energy

Energy Conservation (>30%)

Partnership with Bonneville Power Administration - UtilityEnergy Services Contract (UESC) for federal agencies

$18M investment for $39M in Improvements

~456K MBTU/yr savings ~$4.3M/yr cost savings ~28% energy savings

Energy audits identified energy savings opportunities that arecurrently being implemented

Lighting retrofits

HVAC repairs and controls modernization

Building insulation Boiler and steam system repairs and upgrades


19/21

Achieve Net Zero Energy

Renewable Energytransition from fossil

fuels and fulfill installations energy needsvia renewables

Renewable Energy Sources JBLM potential biomass and possibly others
