SECTION D: Tell us about your public outreach and reporting.

1. How do you identify and respond to the community's environmental concerns?

Seymour Johnson AFB takes a proactive approach to identify community concerns through various working groups and partnerships. Environmental Flight members are active in the North Carolina State/Military Environmental Issues Working Group allowing an opportunity for interaction with state regulators, resolution of issues before they become problems, and input to new state programs and requirements. Seymour Johnson AFB also established the Dare County Bomb Range Advisory Council to foster communication between range users, range managers and the surrounding community. The Council has successfully addressed local issues such as noise, hunting and cooperative land use. The base Public Affairs team attends the annual Air Force Environmental Symposium to keep up to date on Air Force wide environmental topics and to prepare themselves to respond to any environmental issues that may arise. This is an essential tool to ensure Public Affairs is prepared to convey credible, clear and accurate information to the community when a complex environmental issue arises. The base is represented on the Wayne County Planning Commission and regularly shares information with the Military Affairs Committee of the local Chamber of Commerce. Noise inquiries are addressed rapidly as well. Noise complaints received from the community are forwarded to the Airspace Manager. Training routes and days are verified and a response to the community is prepared.

2. How do you inform community members of important environmental matters that affect them?

Public notices are routinely placed in the Goldsboro newspaper, the Seymour Johnson AFB newspaper, and local libraries; however, Seymour Johnson AFB goes beyond what is required to inform the community of important environmental matters. The base continues to take a proactive approach to inform and motivate the community by providing educational programs during Earth Day activities and in the media. Past examples include repeated announcements and articles on water issues, notices of hydrant flushing, compliance audit results, and public education activities. The distribution of these articles is expected to increase significantly due to the local newspaper acquiring the Seymour Johnson AFB newspaper. The relationship between Seymour Johnson AFB and the local community is extremely positive due to the open communication flow. Furthermore, external environmental audits are published in the base newspaper to inform the community of this important component of the EMS. The Air Installation Compatible Use Zones are provided to the local community as well so that community planning decisions can be made with the most recent information.

1a	What category have you selected from the Environmental Performance Table?	Waste
1b	What indicator have you selected from the Environmental Performance Table?	Non-hazardous waste generation
1c	Does your commitment include everything covered by the indicator (e.g., all VOCs, all non-hazardous waste), or a specific substance or component (e.g., ethane, cardboard)? All measurements should represent the performance level for the indicator across the entire facility. For many indicators, however, you may choose to focus your commitment on a specific subset of the indicator, e.g. a specific material, a specific group of toxic air emissions, a particular waste component, a specific VOC, etc.	All
	If your commitment is to a specific substance or component, please provide additional detail on your indicator (e.g., specific chemical to be reduced, specific waste component).
1d	What activities or process changes do you plan to undertake at your facility to accomplish your commitment e.g., technology changes in a particular process line, employee training?	Employee training, contract modifications, youth initiatives, committing to a 25% increase in recycling tonnage over baseline.
2	Are you proposing this as a Challenge Commitment?	No
3a	Does this commitment address a significant aspect in your EMS?	No
3b	If no, please explain why you believe this indicator should be included as a performance commitment.	New local ordinances and future state recycling legislation have the potential to affect mission dollars, ultimately resulting in this indicator becoming a significant aspect in our EMS.

Is the goal of your non-hazardous waste commitment to reduce non-hazardous waste, to improve methods of waste management, or a combination of both?		Combination of Both Strategies

1d	What activities or process changes do you plan to undertake at your facility to accomplish your commitment e.g., technology changes in a particular process line, employee training?	We will reclaim land habitat to enhance suitability for the Red Cockaded Woodpecker (RCW) on specific areas of Dare County Bombing Range (DCBR). We will conduct necessary forest management, including prescribed burns and clearing mid-story vegetation to provide open areas necessary for foraging by the RCW. We will complete RCW cavity inserts to establish recruitment clusters and replace lost cavity trees.
2	Are you proposing this as a Challenge Commitment?	No
3a	Does this commitment address a significant aspect in your EMS?	No
3b	If no, please explain why you believe this indicator should be included as a performance commitment.	The Department of Defense (DOD) follows an ecosystem approach to managing natural resources on DOD land. Habitat is essential for the ecosystem and wildlife, especially engangered species. If habitat is healthy, other resources will be as well. These actions are driven by our Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan rather than our EMS.

1a	What category have you selected from the Environmental Performance Table?	Material Procurement
1b	What indicator have you selected from the Environmental Performance Table?	Hazardous/toxic components

2	Are you proposing this as a Challenge Commitment?	No
3a	Does this commitment address a significant aspect in your EMS?	No
3b	If no, please explain why you believe this indicator should be included as a performance commitment.	This change will allow a 95% reduction in strontium chromate use and will significantly reduce our D007 hazardous waste stream.


1.	How do you identify and respond to the community's environmental concerns?
	Seymour Johnson AFB takes a proactive approach to identify community concerns through various working groups and partnerships. Environmental Flight members are active in the North Carolina State/Military Environmental Issues Working Group allowing an opportunity for interaction with state regulators, resolution of issues before they become problems, and input to new state programs and requirements. Seymour Johnson AFB also established the Dare County Bomb Range Advisory Council to foster communication between range users, range managers and the surrounding community. The Council has successfully addressed local issues such as noise, hunting and cooperative land use. The base Public Affairs team attends the annual Air Force Environmental Symposium to keep up to date on Air Force wide environmental topics and to prepare themselves to respond to any environmental issues that may arise. This is an essential tool to ensure Public Affairs is prepared to convey credible, clear and accurate information to the community when a complex environmental issue arises. The base is represented on the Wayne County Planning Commission and regularly shares information with the Military Affairs Committee of the local Chamber of Commerce. Noise inquiries are addressed rapidly as well. Noise complaints received from the community are forwarded to the Airspace Manager. Training routes and days are verified and a response to the community is prepared.
2.	How do you inform community members of important environmental matters that affect them?
	Public notices are routinely placed in the Goldsboro newspaper, the Seymour Johnson AFB newspaper, and local libraries; however, Seymour Johnson AFB goes beyond what is required to inform the community of important environmental matters. The base continues to take a proactive approach to inform and motivate the community by providing educational programs during Earth Day activities and in the media. Past examples include repeated announcements and articles on water issues, notices of hydrant flushing, compliance audit results, and public education activities. The distribution of these articles is expected to increase significantly due to the local newspaper acquiring the Seymour Johnson AFB newspaper. The relationship between Seymour Johnson AFB and the local community is extremely positive due to the open communication flow. Furthermore, external environmental audits are published in the base newspaper to inform the community of this important component of the EMS. The Air Installation Compatible Use Zones are provided to the local community as well so that community planning decisions can be made with the most recent information.
