The EMS Core Team is responsible for identifying objectives
and targets related to MCAS Miramar operations. The objectives and
targets should demonstrate commitment to MCAS Miramar’s Environmental Policy
and relate to the significant aspects that pose a threat to our military
mission which was identified in the EMS risk
prioritization process.
When establishing objectives and
targets, the EMS Core Team considers the following:
- Operational and
mission-related activities
- Legal and other requirements
- Stakeholders’ interests and
priorities
- Available technology options
and infrastructure
- Financial resources
The EMS Core Team maintains a
list of objectives and targets and monitors progress towards achieving them
via interviews and monthly status reports provided by the responsible
party/program managers. Objectives and targets will be reviewed as
necessary and at least annually. Progress is documented in the “EMS
Objectives/Targets & Actions” table (example below) and posted on the
MCAS Miramar Environmental Intranet.

Establishing and Documenting Objectives and Targets
In support of the MCAS Miramar EMS Policy
Statement, the EMS Core Team has established objectives and targets that will
reduce the risk to the mission as well as the environment. MCAS Miramar
has placed high priority on establishing objectives and targets that are
financially and technologically achievable and those that will result in an
overall reduction of impact severity for the waste water discharge and air
emissions aspects. The aspects related to waste water discharge and air
emissions are not only related to mission impacts, but are also related to
environmental impacts.
The EMS Core Team identified all
environmental practices related to to these
aspects. The aspects related to these practices span over multiple
environmental media areas and programs as follows:
- Sewers
- Asbestos
- Pesticide
- Aircraft/Helicopter
Fueling and Refueling
-
Soil Erosion Restoration
The targets may require additional funding by various departments. The
required funding will be identified and coordinated
with the responsible departments such as EMD and PWD.
2. Achieving and Improving Objectives and Targets
2.1 The EMS Core Team will provide
assistance to the practice owners throughout the year to ensure the
objectives and targets are achieved. This may come in the form of phone
conversations, site visits, or emails.
2.2 A formal review of the progress towards meeting identified
objectives and targets will be conducted on a semi-annual basis. This review
will include an interview of each practice owner to determine what has been
done to achieve the target. In addition, the practice owner will be requested
to provide feedback on how the EMS Core Team can provide further assistance
in meeting the objectives and targets.
