S.A.M.E. UPDATE
MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP BLAZ AND LIVE-FIRE TRAINING RANGE COMPLEX MEMBERSHIP TOUR
Ridilla during LFTRC tour
Led by the Deputy Officer in Charge of Construction Pete Ridilla and Corporal Luka Bessey, thirty-eight SAME Guam Post and SAME University of Guam (UOG) Student Chapter members took a bus tour on April 22 to see the latest development of Marine Corps Base (MCB) Camp Blaz and the Live-Fire Training Range Complex (LFTRC).
The first part of the tour was the LFTRC at Northwest Field near Ritidian Point. The five different ranges, four of which are nearly complete, will provide valuable training to Marines and other onisland agencies. The four nearly completed ranges are for individual weapons with the fifth range being 1,000-meters used for multi-purpose machine guns and 50-caliber or less vehiclebased weapons. Two of the ranges feature pop-up targets and pop-up lateral moving targets. The tour group then went to MCB Camp Blaz where they were able to view the current expansion of the nearly 600-acre base, see the archeological findings on site, and learn about the Marine Corps' preservation, conservation, and environmental efforts. The installation honors the memory of Brigadier General (BrigGen) Vicente "Ben" Garrido Blaz, the first minority general officer in the Marine Corps and later Guam's delegate to Congress. He remains the highest-ranking indigenous CHamoru to have served in the Marine Corps. MCB Camp Blaz was activated on October 1, 2020, and will be home to nearly 5,000
rotational and permanently assigned marines relocating from Okinawa, Japan. Upon completion, the base will consists of eight 6-story, L-shaped barracks that can house up to 600 marines in each building. It will also include administrative and headquarter facilities, dining hall, water treatment facility, gymnasium, warehouses, trash and recycling centers, fire and police stations, medical and dental clinics, and much more.
Within the base’s grounds, a memorial was built in February 2022 to honor seven ancestral burials found at Sabånan Fadang. As part of the Marine Camp Blaz reinternment crypt at the memorial Corps' commitment to preserving the rich cultural heritage of Guam, a crypt was built for the reburial of any potential fragment remains discovered during the base’s construction. CHamoru remains that are unable to stay intact and in place, because of the construction footprint, are collected and reburied within Camp Blaz. Remains that are determined to be from World War II and are not precontact ancestral will be sent to Hawaii or Japan to be repatriated. The SAME Guam Post membership consists of 130+ individual and 180+ sustaining members, 44 companies, and 30 student chapter members. Become a member through our website. Thurs, May 19 will be our next General Membership Meeting.

= Mental Wellness
Worksite Wellness By: R.D. Gibson
FEATURE STORY
Editor’s note: this month’s feature discusses issues surrounding mental health and may include topics that may be considered sensitive. It is a peculiar scene; one that many have seen time and time again. An office worker is stressed out of their mind. Sweat is trickling down their temples. They loosen their tie around their neck to breathe a little better. They have the thundering stampede of their fellow office workers just trying to get to 5 p.m. without being noticed or causing any issues with the management. Phones are ringing all around. The clacking of keyboards is becoming a little too overwhelming. People swarm around each other's desks and workspaces. Then a flood of thoughts about how to safely get home, the bills that need to be taken care of, visiting the family this weekend, taking the car into the shop, clearing out jungle in the back of the house, the annual worker evaluation coming up, the company barbecue and the menu, the list goes on and on and on. Workplace stress and anxiety are not one size fits all, especially across industries. Though office spaces are different now, the same stresses are still applicable in several different settings, especially in the construction industry. In this day and age, the words ‘self-care’, ‘workplace wellness’, and ‘work-life balance’ are becoming part of a normal conversation. It is important that workplace wellness - both mental and physical - is important for everyone. May is Mental Health Awareness Month. It is a time for the community to remember the reality of mental health in our communities; not just at home and schools,
but also in the workplace. The COVID-19 Pandemic truly gave employees and employers a chance to address workplace mental health and well-being, especially because these issues are not new. The Centers for Disease Control website states that ‘71% of adults reported at least one symptom of stress, such as a headache or feeling overwhelmed or anxious.’ The brief, which was released in July 2018, stated how those with mental health disorders also suffer from physical health conditions, like heart disease and respiratory illness. “The costs for treating people with both mental health disorders and other physical conditions are 2 to 3 times higher than for those without co-occurring illnesses.” Dr. Jaylene Kent, Ph.D., C.I.T, President of Isla Coatings & Roofing Supply and a Clinical Psychologist stated the concern surrounding mental health in the construction industry ‘may come as a sad surprise.’ She cited a recent American Psychiatric Association report how “the construction workforce experiences the second highest rate of suicide among major industries.” The contracting tasks and multi-million dollar projects can be stressful and daunting, yet there is so much more than that. Dr. Kent continued by listing certain facets of the industry that could lead to labeling it ‘at-risk’ when it comes to mental health. She listed the complicated nature of decisions in construction, the danger of tasks, and the orchestrated teamwork that is expected of team members to ‘successfully bring a project to conclusion on time and in budget.’

NEWSLINE CEQ Releases Final Rule on National Environmental Policy Act On April 19, the Council on Environmental Quality announced its final rule revising the implementation regulations of the National Environmental Policy Act, which will cause needless delays for small businesses and increase costs for taxpayers. Under former President Trump, CEQ issued an ABC-supported 2020 final rule that modernized the federal environmental review process and provided a coordinated, predictable and transparent method to streamline permitting under NEPA. Following the release of the rule, ABC issued the following statement: Unfortunately, the Biden administration’s rulemaking reverses the much-needed efforts of the previous administration to update and streamline the federal environmental review and permitting process. Modernizing this process would be a bipartisan win, as both sides of the aisle have long identified the need for faster, more efficient permitting. While Congress recently passed legislation providing an unprecedented investment in our nation’s infrastructure, including language specifically calling for streamlined environmental review, today’s rulemaking will delay the completion of these critical projects and increase costs for the construction industry and taxpayers without providing meaningful environmental benefits.

The new rule makes the following changes to the 2020 NEPA rules: 1. Restores the requirement that federal agencies evaluate all the relevant environmental impacts of the decisions they are making; 2. Restores the full authority of agencies to work with communities to develop and analyze alternative approaches that could minimize environmental and public health costs; and 3. Establishes CEQ’s NEPA regulations as a floor, rather than a ceiling, for the environmental review standards that federal agencies should meet. The final rule has an effective date of May 20, 2022. Federal agencies now have until Sept. 14, 2023, to implement the changes outlined above into their NEPA regulations. Previously, ABC filed comments with a coalition of stakeholders to CEQ in response to its notice of proposed rulemaking. The coalition urged CEQ to retain several provisions of the 2020 final rule, which provided needed clarity and maintained consistency with the original 1978 NEPA rulemaking and decades of case law. Additionally, the coalition expressed concerns that the proposed revisions would hinder NEPA’s goal of more informed agency decisions.
CONSTRUCTION NEWS BULLETIN
Unfortunately, CEQ ignored these concerns and left the proposed rule largely unchanged in its final rulemaking. The only significant change to the proposed rule is to add language specifying that environmental impacts that agencies consider must be “reasonably foreseeable.” This change, which ABC advocated for in the coalition comments, provides some limitations on environmental impacts federal agencies can consider. Overall, the final rule will have a negative impact on the environmental review process and likely lead to increased delays. This rule is the first step of a two-step process to revise the 2020 NEPA regulations. While phase one will implement a narrow set of changes to the NEPA regulations, phase two will propose broader changes to the final rulemaking. ABC has supported legislative and regulatory efforts to modernize and create a more efficient NEPA review process, including support for H.R. 2515, the BUILDER Act and S.717, the UNSHACKLE Act. In March 2021, ABC joined dozens of members of the Unlock American Investment Coalition in calling on Congress to improve and modernize the federal permitting process under NEPA.

NEWSLINE
OSHA Announces Enforcement Program to Identify Employers Failing to Submit Injury and Illness Data On April 5, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration announced that it is starting an enforcement program that identifies employers who failed to submit Form 300A data through the agency’s Injury Tracking Application. The enforcement program will begin in early April and was developed in response to recommendations from the Government Accountability Office to improve reporting of summary injury and illness data. Establishments with 250 or more employees currently required to keep OSHA injury and illness records,
and establishments with 20-249 employees classified in specific industries with historically high rates of occupational injuries and illnesses are required to electronically submit information from their OSHA Form 300A. This year, covered establishments were required to submit information from their completed 2021 Form 300A by March 2. According to OSHA’s release, “The program matches newly opened inspections against a list of potential non-responders to OSHA’s collection of Form 300A data through the ITA and reports all matches to the
appropriate OSHA area office. If the area office determines that the establishment on the list is the same establishment where the inspection was opened, OSHA will issue citations for failure to submit OSHA Form 300A Summary data.” The release further states, “In addition to identifying non-responders at the establishment level, the agency is also reviewing the 2021 submitted data to identify non-responders at a corporate-wide level. This corporate level review is being conducted for the nation’s largest employers.”
