Oil recovery systems such as oil skimmersenable shore activities to efficiently collect spilled oil after initial containment. This equipment will enable the Navy to meet the requirements established by EPA in the NationalContingency Plan which requires rapid and effective response to oil spills. The revised National Spill Contingency Plan mandates that DOD and the Navy assume responsibility for theirown oil and hazardous substance spills. These broad responsibilities require the Navy to maintain sufficient spill response equipment for the Navy activities worldwide, such as oil spillcontainment systems and recovery systems. The severe oil spills off Alaska and California have increased the public's sensitivity to releases of oil into the environment. Pollution Prevention Equipment: Executive Order 12856 directed all federal agencies to reduce releases of toxic and hazardous materials to the environment. It also elevated pollution prevention requirements from EPAClass I and II. Navy policy requires full funding of all Class I and II projects. Executive Order 13101 further reinforced pollution prevention requirements. EO 13101 requires all federalagencies to prevent pollution whenever feasible, incorporate waste prevention and recycling into daily operations, expand existing affirmative procurement and recycling programs, integratepollution prevention and affirmative procurement into acquisition programs, and establish goals for reduction of waste generation and increased procurement of environmentally preferableitems. Funding provided will procure pollution prevention equipment to support these requirements.DD Form 2454, (7-88) P-1 ITEM NO. PAGE NO.EXHIBIT P-40127 1
