Our environment is all around us. It is the air we breathe and the water we drink. Any damage we cause to our environment can have serious consequences that last for generations. Air can become so contaminated that it is hard to breathe. The water can become so dirty it is undrinkable. Natural resources are being used so quickly that they may not be easily replaced. We can change or affect the environment in many ways. For example, our cars release vehicle emissions from tail pipes. These vehicle emissions react with the air in the atmosphere to make air pollution or smog.This smog can reduce visibility and cause health problems such as asthma. Another example is the chemicals released from tanks that make their way through the soil and contaminate the drinking water supply. Natural resources are being used faster than they can be replaced. Society has become dependent on individual transportation,andfuelconsumptionis high.Howwilloursocietyfunctionwithoutfueltopowervehiclesandelectricity toheathomes?Acontroversyexistsover whether we will drill for oil in the Arctic Wildlife Refuge.

Itisimportanttoreduce our impact on the environment as much as possible for the benefit of generations to come.With that goal in mind, Naval Support Activity SouthPotomac(NSASP)isimplementing an Environmental Management System (EMS) as a method for identifying negative impacts on the environment from command operations, and maintaining processestohelpreducethatimpact.The bottom line: identify ways that NSASP can protect the air we breathe, the water we drink and the resources we need.

Serious Stewardship

NSASP has an established environmental policy that reflects the com-

mand's responsibility to efficiently deliver common operating support services to all supported commands located within the fence lines of Naval Support Facility (NSF) Dahlgren and NSF Indian Head, while balancing the missions of supported commands with sound, responsible environmental stewardship. To do this, NSASP is committed to taking its leadership role in promoting policy and procedures to carry out a successful Environmental Management System program for all installation personnel. NSASP will adhere to Naval District Washington's environmental policy and will incorporate EMSs implemented by supported commands at NSF Dahlgren and NSF Indian Head within NSASP's overarching EMS. NSASP senior management will evaluate the EMS periodically to determine its effective-

ness and to ensure established objectives and targets are met. Personnel within NSASP, supported and supporting commands, whether military, civilian or contractor, regardless of rank or grade, are responsible for performing their duties in a manner that protects the environment, prevents pollution and conserves our natural and cultural resources. The command's environmental policy characterizes this personal responsibility in an acrostic for CARE: Comply with Regulations Always Improve Reduce Waste Eliminate Pollution

A process, not an event

EMS is a management approach intended to enhance compliance, prevent pollution, and continually improve. An EMS is designed to be proactive by identifying those actions that can harm the environment. Then, the EMS puts in place procedures and operational controls to minimize the negative environmental impact. EMS is an organized approach to be used by NSASP to meet the command's environmental goals. EMS is more than compliance; it includes everyone and everything. It takes time to implement an EMS. It is a process, not an event. EMS needs to be incorporated into day-to-day tasks. EMS is composed of five basic components: environmental policy, planning, implementation, checking and corrective action, and management review. These components follow the Plan, Do, Check, and Act cycle, which is a

Back to School Safety - Share the Road! Sharing the road safely with school buses

School buses are one of the safest forms of transportation on the road today. In fact, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, riding a bus to school is 13 times safer than riding in a passenger vehicle and 10 times safer than walking to school. The reality of school bus safety is that more children are hurt outside the bus than inside as passengers. Most of the children who lose their lives in bus-related crashes are pedestrians, four to seven years old, who are hit by the bus or by motorists illegally passing a stopped school bus. For this reason, it is necessary to know the proper laws and procedures for sharing the road safely with school buses: • All 50 states have a law making it illegal to pass a school bus that is stopped to load or unload children. • School buses use yellow flashing lights to alert motorists that they are preparing to stop to load or unload children. Red flashing lights and an extended stop sign arm signals to motorists that the bus is stopped and children are getting on or off the bus. • All 50 states require that traffic in both directions stop on undivided roadways when students are entering or exiting a school bus. • While state laws vary on what is required on a divided roadway, in all cases, traffic behind the school bus (traveling in the same direction) must stop. • The area 10 feet around a school bus is where children are in the most danger of being hit. Stop your car far enough from the bus to allow children the necessary space to safely enter and exit the bus. • Be alert. Children are unpredictable. Children walking to or from their bus are usually very comfortable with their surroundings. This makes them more likely to take risks, ignore hazards or fail to look both ways when crossing the street.

Engineer prepares dog to serve By Allison Johnson Atlantic Test Ranges Communications Support

A Naval Air Systems Command, or NAVAIR, employee and his wife are preparing a puppy for a job that will take canine companionship to new levels. Dan Skelley, chief engineer for NAVAIR's Air Vehicle Modification and Instrumentation at NAS Patuxent River, and his wife, Diane, are raising and training a service dog for the Canine Companions for Independence, also known as CCI, program. While the organization has a long track record of providing disabled individuals with service dogs, CCI has a targeted effort for injured service members: theWoundedWarrior Initiative. After an extensive application process, the Skelleys opened their home to an 8-week-old puppy named Oxford in February 2011. Their motivation to undertake this effort is the increased need for service dogs to be placed with America's wounded warriors. Under the Skelley's care, Oxford, a Golden Retriever/ Labrador mix, will undergo basic training, learning up to 20 simple commands. He must be able to come when called, use the restroom on command, and recognize the difference between work and play. Additionally, Oxford must be socialized and be comfortable in a much wider array of situations than a typical pet. As part of his training, Oxford is exposed to as many sounds, sights and smells as possible. The Skelleys work to build Oxford's confidence in all environments, such as the workplace, movie theaters and restaurants. "It's hard to have a bad day when I get to bring Oxford to U.S. Navy photo by Noel Hepp work," Skelley said of the days with Oxford in his office. Dan Skelley with Oxford, a service dog Skelley Once the Skelleys complete Oxford's basic training and so-

College of Southern Maryland hosts Civil War Roundtable Sept. 11 The Southern Maryland Civil War Roundtable's inaugural meeting will feature acclaimed Civil War historian Kevin Knapp as Thaddeus Lowe, chief aeronaut of the Army of the Potomac's Balloon Corps at 7 p.m. on Sept. 11 at the College of Southern Maryland's La Plata Campus, Center for Business and Industry (BI) Building, Chaney Enterprises Conference Room (Room 113), 8730 Mitchell Road, La Plata. Knapp, a retired Army officer, is a professional balloon pilot serving on the Balloon Federation of America Board and is a Civil War Balloon Corps enthusiast. He has owned and operated the modern army balloon since 1993. In 2006, Knapp was the co-pilot for the winning team of the America's Challenge Gas Balloon Race flying from Albuquerque, N.M. to Citra, Fla.,

a distance of 1,478 miles, with a time of 60 hours and 45 minutes. Portraying Thaddeus Lowe, Knapp has been featured at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, as well as at various National Park Service venues. He was also a contributor to The History Channel's "Man, Moment and Machines" segment on Civil War ballooning called "Lincoln's Flying Spy Machine." Balloons were used for surveillance and reconnaissance during the Civil War by the Union Army from 1861 through 1863 and by the Confederate Army in 1862. The North made more than 3,000 ascensions with seven balloons and the South made less than 10 ascensions with two balloons. Southern Maryland played a major role in Civil War ballooning as Lowe made his

first ascension in Charles County in 1861 when he made reconnaissance of the Confederate positions along the Potomac River in Virginia. The program is open to the public. For additional information, contact Southern Maryland Roundtable President Dr. Brad Gottfried at bgottfried@csmd.edu or 301-934-7625. The roundtable will host monthly meetings, the second Tuesday of every month from September through May, and will feature a guest speaker, usually an author or historian, who will present an aspect of the Civil War followed by group discussion. Attendees with an interest in the Civil War will be asked to join the Roundtable for an annual fee of $30 to defray the cost of speakers, newsletters and field trips.

continuous, circular process that begins with planning how to implement environmental policies. The next step is implementing those policies and then checking to see how the policies are working. Finally, the policies are modified to continually improve the EMS, and then the cycle starts over again. Continual improvement is at the center of the cycle. The EMS identifies how a facility impacts the environment. Then, the EMS works to control and reduce the effect of negative environmental impacts while enhancing the positive impacts. One of the main goals of EMS is to improve environmental performance on a continuous basis. There are many ways to implement EMS. One of the most widely recognized ways is to follow the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001. ISO 14001 identifies the necessary requirements to implement and maintain a fully functioning environmental management system. NSASP is implementing an EMS based on ISO 14001. An effective EMS sets the overall environmental policy; establishes a process for environmental improvements; develops objectives and targets and operational controls to reduce negative impacts and encourage positive impacts to the environment; implements procedures and training to meet environmental goals; requires audits, inspections and a corrective action process to support continual improvement; and ensures a regular review of all environmental programs. NSASP has established the NSASP EMS Team — or NET — to implement EMS. The team meets regularly to identify necessary actions to continually improve NSASP's Emergency Management System.

Finding solutions to minimize risks

The benefits of implementing an Environmental Management System

The shoreline restoration project undertaken for NSF Indian Head addresses, in part, one of the significant environmental aspects identified for NSASP installations -- storm water discharge. The incorporation of improved drainage structures into the shoreline project design eliminates erosion and deposition of sediment in the Potomac River. (EMS) and why they are important are many. To reduce operational impact, the Navy is committed to focusing not only on what activities happen at naval installations, but also why they happen. Over time, the identification and correction of deficiencies lead to better environmental and overall organizational performance and mission sustainability. An EMS provides an opportunity to assess how Navy organizations manage environmental risks and to find better and more cost effective solutions to minimize these risks. The Navy's EMS program provides the following potential benefits to installations and commands: • Improves environmental awareness, involvement, and competency across the organization • Improves long-term mission sustainability • Decreases environmental impact on the mission • Reduces environmental impacts and prevent pollution • Improves overall environmental performance and enhance compliance • Increases efficiency of operations by reducing environmentallyrelated costs

• Uses materials and resources more effectively to fulfill the mission • Avoids costs associated with clean ups, fines, and violations • Increases compliance with Executive Order 13423, "Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management"

Environmental Aspects and Impacts

ISO14001 is one of the world recognized standards for an environmental management system. It requires an organization to determine its environmental aspects. An environmental aspect is identified as any element of the organization's activities, products, or services that can interact with the environment. An aspect can be thought of as the actual or potential cause of an environmental impact. Examples of environmental aspects (activities, products, or services that can interact with the environment) include waste generation, fuel handling, energy consumption, paper consumption, hazardous materials usage and storm water management. Significant environmental aspects identified for NSF Dahlgren and NSF Indian Head are potential

Recent construction of the Advanced Energetics Research Laboratory Phase I at NSF Indian Head included a provision for a "green" parking area made from porous paving block, as opposed to traditional asphalt paving, to reduce storm water runoff on the installation. fuel spills and storm water discharges. Processes and procedures have been developed to reduce the potential for fuel spills and reduce impacts from storm water discharges. However, when handling fuels for example, employees need to know how to respond if a spill occurs and what measures can help prevent spills. Employees at Dahlgren or Indian Head working with materials that may come into contact with storm water need to know how to maintain their work area to prevent pollutants such as oil and grease, fertilizers or other materials from contaminating storm water. Once an organization identifies its environmental aspects, it can then determine how it impacts the environment. An environmental impact is defined as any change to the environment, whether bad or good, resulting from the organization's mission or activities. Examples of environmental impacts (any change resulting from the organization's mission or activities) include soil contamination, water contamination, air pollution, health and safety exposure, use of landfill space, use of natural resources, generation of nonhazardous waste and hearing impairment.

cialization, he will return to CCI for advanced training in Medford, N.Y. Advanced training includes learning skills, such as turning a light switch on and off, opening doors, bringing in groceries, retrieving clothes, alerting the deaf to audible cues, such as door bells and smoke alarms and many other tasks a disabled person would not be able to do alone. CCI sets the bar high for its service dogs. It takes a very special aptitude and temperament to complete the advanced training and become one of the company’s canine companions. Even after the basic training and socialization, many dogs do not make it through the program. "A lot of dogs will not make it through the advanced training, but my wife and I are hopeful for Oxford," Skelley said. When paired with a disabled person, a dog must be prepared to face any life situation. Service dogs need to be free from any fears or phobias, such as loud noises, streets, crosswalks, traffic, rambunctious children, balloons and unfamiliar animal life. In addition, no matter what the circumstance, a service dog

Friday, August 31, 2012

The South Potomac Pilot must fulfill its duties 24 hours a day, seven days a week. A service dog may remain in service for as long as 10 years. Skelley said, "You have to be absolutely confident that wherever you send him, he'll perform flawlessly." CCI provides all of its service dogs free to those in need. Once a service dog passes the advanced training, it is paired with a partner to form a companion team. The pairing is a specialized process and happens over a two-week period at the CCI facility on Long island. The trainers work to understand the personality of each person so they can pair them with a dog that matches his or her qualities, then they train the person on how to handle and care for the new service dog. One of the Skelleys' favorite anecdotes on a successful pairing comes from a May 18, 2012, article in Newsday about John M. Peck, a Marine Sergeant with two combat tours under his belt, who lost parts of all four limbs when he stepped on an explosive device in Afghanistan. Peck said his new service dog Nasar was "... hyper as hell, which is fun because he has so much energy. It keeps me in good spirits. Hopefully, I can teach him to catch a girl for me. He's the ultimate icebreaker—a chick magnet."

While the Skelleys have no input on whom Oxford gets paired with, they think his socialization at NAVAIR—being around aircraft, hangars and service men and women—might make him a particularly good service dog for aWoundedWarrior. Like Nasar, Skelley said Oxford is a bit hyper at times. Because of this positive experience, Skelley said he and his wife hope to raise another dog for CCI. "It's not work, it's a blast," he said. When asked how difficult Oxford's farewell will be, Skelley compares the experience to sending his kids off to college. "You wouldn't want them not to go, but in a way you wish it hadn't happened so soon ... but it's the right thing to do," he said. "And when Oxford graduates and is paired with his new partner, we will be in the audience beaming like proud parents." As "puppy raisers," the Skelleys get lots of help from the regional CCI office in Medford, and theWashington, D.C., chapter.They say being a puppy raiser for CCI is not hard, it just requires a bit of time, patience and lots of love. Service dogs change the lives of numerous disabled people every day. To learn more about volunteering for CCI, visit www.cci.org.

per, Moreland and his colleagues addressed the foundational elements and methods that must be considered when evaluating complex systems: Modeling & Simulation (Agent-Based Modeling), Math (Graph Theory), Enterprise Approach (Federalism), Technology, System, and Integration Readiness Level Methodologies (TRL, SRL, IRL), and Mission Engineering (Mission Threads, "Effects/Kill Chains"). "The authors are pleased to have our 'Interstitials' effort recognized as providing a valued technical contribution to the Mission Engineering body of knowledge," Moreland said. "This article had a tremendous impact on promoting the founding principles of INCOSE, which was created to develop and disseminate the interdisciplinary standards and practices that enable the realization of successful systems through the application of sound and effective systems engineering. Likewise, this work drives critical aspects of the NSWCDD mission by emphasizing systems engineering and integration of complex systems," said Moreland. Moreland noted that the paper provided an equal level of technical due-diligence to the "lines between the nodes (systems/platforms). The interstitial space is where interfaces and relationships between elements are found, and from where higher level behaviors originate," Moreland explained. Over 1,000 of the world's leading systems engineers gathered at the event to learn of the latest developments in tools, methodologies and approaches presented at the conference.

Sharing the road safely with child pedestrians

1032371A

All drivers need to recognize the special safety needs of pedestrians, especially those that are children. Young, elderly, disabled and intoxicated pedestrians are the most frequent victims in auto-pedestrian collisions. Generally, pedestrians have the right-of-way at all intersections; however, regardless of the rules of the road or right-of-way, you as a driver are obligated to exercise great care and extreme caution to avoid striking pedestrians. • Drivers should not block the crosswalk when stopped at a red light or waiting to make a turn. Do not stop with a portion of your vehicle over the crosswalk. Blocking the crosswalk forces pedestrians to go around your vehicle and puts them in a dangerous situation. • In a school zone when a warning flasher or flashers are blinking, you must stop to yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within a marked crosswalk or at an intersection with no marked crosswalk. • Always stop when directed to do so by a school patrol sign, school patrol officer or designated crossing guard. • Children are the least predictable pedestrians and the most difficult to see. Take extra care to look out for children not only in schoolzones,butalsoinresidentialareas,playgroundsandparks. • Don’t honk your horn, rev your engine or do anything to rush or scare a pedestrian in front of your car, even if you have the legal right-of-way. Take extra precautions in school zones and neighborhood areas where children and teenagers might be riding. Courtesy of the National Safety Council

95th Anniversary Committee Convenes at Dahlgren By Jeron Hayes Representatives from all commands and a number of community organizations met on Wednesday to begin planning for the 95th anniversary of Naval Support Facility (NSF) Dahlgren. The anniversary, officially October of 2013, will mark 95 years since Dahlgren became the "Lower Station" of the Naval Powder Factory at Indian Head, Md. Ed Jones, editor the Free Lance-Star newspaper and president of the Dahlgren Heritage Foundation, discussed opportunities for the Foundation's efforts to tie into the anniversary. "Whatwehaveforthisanniversarythatwedidn'tforthe90th istheHeritageFoundation,"saidJones."Wealreadyhaveexhibits openandhopetobeinourfacilityattheoldwelcomecenternear the Nice Bridge on Route 301 by March. The building has been renovated for us.We are happy to help out however we can." Jones added that the Foundation has already held several

well-attended forums at University of Mary WashingtonDahlgren Campus and they have unveiled permanent exhibits at the college that are just the beginning of their presentation of the history of Dahlgren. Committee members agreed that while showcasing the history of the base is important, current work being done at Dahlgren also deserves the spotlight. Russell Coons, corporate communications director for Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division remarked that developing technology puts the base "a generation from Star Wars." An event held in 2008 to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the base included a festival, base tours, exhibits showing past and present programs, storytelling from former base employees, an opportunity to capture written accounts of the base and a Dahlgren School reunion that drew over 200 people, according to Dahlgren School alumni Jones. Some traveled from as far away as California. "Not bad for an elemen-

tary school," he added. All commands submitted ideas, from providing events to reach the young Sailors on base, to highlighting some lesserknown missions such as that of 20th Space Control Squadron and 614th Air and Space Operations Center, both Air Force commands located at Dahlgren. What began as a gun test facility in the waning days ofWorld War I has since evolved and expanded into a major shore installation that is responsible for numerous scientific and response force missions serving all branches of the United States armed forces. In addition to its military value, today NSF Dahlgren makes a significant economic contribution to the local community, and the installation's Navy commands, as a whole, serve as the largest employer in King George County. Employees at Dahlgren are encouraged to submit ideas they may have to celebrate not only the history of the base, but current technology being developed to assist the warfighter.

Guadians of the Potomac: U.S. Coast Guard Station St. Inigoes Photos and story by Shannon Slaughter NAWCAD Public Affairs Intern Nestled along Molls Cove of the St. Mary's River, in a corner of the Webster Outlying Field Annex of NAS Patuxent River, sits a simple complex of buildings that make up U. S. Coast Guard Station St. Inigoes. Dedicated in 1976, the station is one of six under the

control of Coast Guard Sector Baltimore, which is responsible for all operations in the Potomac River, middle and upper Chesapeake Bay and the Delaware Canal. The 41 active-duty military members and 18 reservists of Station St. Inigoes exhibit bravery, determination and enthusiasm when conducting their multi-mission responsibility which include search and rescue; ports, waterways and coastal security; enforcement of laws and treaties; ma-

rine environmental protection, and recreational boating safety. Other missions include search and rescue support to NAS Patuxent River and its tenant test and evaluation facilities, presidential security operations, and liquid natural gas tanker protection. "For these efforts and others, Station St. Inigoes has twice been the proud recipient of the Sumner Kimball Readiness Award," said Senior Chief Boatswains Mate Philip M. Robinson, Coast Guard Station St. Inigoes officer in charge. Coast Guard units earn the Kimball Award by demonstrating an extraordinary state of readiness in administration, operations, maintenance and training during a rigorous inspection. This honor, combined with the skill and diligence of the staff, truly help the station live up to its motto, "Guardians of the Potomac." The multi-talented men and women, who operate Station St. Inigoes, dedicate each day to ensuring the safety and security of the citizens under their jurisdiction. The members of Station St. Inigoes devote their time to a diverse array of tasks including training, operations, maintenance of their boats and buildings, search and rescue, safety inspections and law enforcement. A familiar presence on the waters of the Patuxent and Potomac rivers in Southern Maryland, Coast Guard Station St. Inigoes patrols the largest and southernmost section of Coast Guard Sector Baltimore. Also, Station St. Inigoes ensures fishing and recreational boats maintain a 500-yard berth around the Liquefied Natural Gas Terminal and nuclear power plant in Calvert County. "We have four boats, three 25-foot small response boats and one 41-foot utility boat," said Machinery Technician 1st Class Matt Koll. "We're out there every day." Most patrols leave from the station on Webster Field or from the West Basin on NAS Patuxent River. They are a familiar presence on the installation, and in and around St. Mary's County, always selflessly serving their Country while upholding their core values of Honor, Respect, and Devotion to Duty. The Coast Guard, which operates under the Department of Homeland Security, is the nation's leading maritime law enforcement agency and has broad, multifaceted jurisdictional authority. The Coast Guard is a maritime, military, multi-mission service, unique among the other U.S. military branches because it has a maritime law enforcement mission, with jurisdiction in both domestic and international waters, and a federal regulatory agency mission. Although each Coast Guard member has a specific job title, each performs a variety of roles. Since the station is responsible for its own maintenance and upkeep, each member must be able to step in and do jobs outside their specialties. "There's a lot of variation in the job," said Machinery Technician 1st Class Derick Thrappas. "I'm a (mechanic), but being in the Coast Guard, it's sort of like getting a new job every three years. I can't imagine sitting behind a desk doing the same thing every day." Koll agreed, "It keeps it interesting. New location, new job; it's never boring."
