Regulatory Compliance Context
High number of environmental bills, rules, and
permits proposed each year
Regulations, rules, and permits are more stringent than
federal requirements.
Majority of SW Navy and Marine Corps installations are in California
Level of regulatory oversight is evidenced by the high number of inspection days,
environmental permits, and reporting requirements
CA regulatory context leads to high environmental restoration,
compliance and conservation costs
California has aggressive, multi-level air, water, and other media
regulatory agencies

Pillars of Our Environmental
Sustainability Program
1. Diversion and recycling of municipal solid waste (MSW) and construction and
demolition debris (C&D) from afloat and ashore operations reduce disposal
requirements and need for new materials
2. Electrical energy and water conservation programs monitor and reduce demands for
fossil fuel and fresh water resources
3. Renewable energy projects provide sustainable energy sources that reduce
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions
4. Telework, transportation incentives, and other programs reduce Greenhouse Gas
emissions
