This "first-of-its-kind" document for Department of Energy (DOE)
Headquarters (HQ) facilities is the result of a partnership between the
Office of Administration (MA-40) and the Office of Environment (EH-4).
This collaboration has resulted in an Environmental Management System
(EMS) that demonstrates the DOE commitment to environmentally
responsible operations and further documents the efforts that have made
DOE HQ facilities a leader in environmentally friendly programs such as
recycling, affirmative procurement, and energy conservation.

In April 2000, Executive Order (EO) 13148, *Greening the Government
Through Leadership in Environmental Management*, required Federal
Agencies to implement Environmental Management Systems (EMSs) at all
appropriate facilities by December 31, 2005. Responsive to EO 13148, DOE
issued DOE Order (O) 450.1, *Environmental Protection Program* (chg.1,
January 24, 2005), which requires DOE elements to establish an EMS that
is integrated into the DOE Integrated Safety Management System (ISMS).
This EMS addresses DOE's HQ facilities---the James Forrestal Building
and the Germantown Main Building---which are both "appropriate
facilities" under EO 13148 and DOE O 450.1.

An EMS is a systematic and structured approach for addressing the
environmental consequences of an organization's activities, products,
and services. DOE O 450.1 defines an EMS as a "continuous cycle of
planning, implementing, evaluating and improving processes and actions
undertaken to achieve environmental missions and goals."

Several recognized EMS frameworks exist. Most are based on the
International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001 EMS standard.
As a result, ISO 14001 is the framework on which organizations most
frequently choose to base their EMSs. DOE O 450.1 does not prescribe the
type of EMS framework that DOE elements must use.

The DOE HQ Facilities EMS is based on the ISO 14001 model, which
consists of four phases:

Phase I: Planning

The organization identifies how its operations interact with the
environment and develops objectives, programs and processes necessary to
manage those interactions/environmental aspects consistent with its
environmental policy.

Phase II: Implementation and Operation

The organization implements programs to manage environmental
interactions/aspects, as well as other procedures for general systems
administration.

Phase III: Checking and Corrective Action

The organization establishes, implements, and maintains procedures to
assess the effectiveness of the programs it established to manage
environmental interaction/aspects, in addition to general system
operational effectiveness.

Phase IV: Management Review

Senior management determines what changes to the EMS are necessary to
ensure its continuing sustainability, adequacy and effectiveness based
on a performance assessment of the system's effectiveness, included
herein as part of Phase III.

Section 3.a. (2) of DOE O 450.1 notes that where ISMSs are not
applicable, DOE elements must ensure the implementation of EMSs. In view
of the fact that ISMSs were not implemented at DOE Headquarters
facilities, the EMS model was followed. For this EMS, DOE HQ facilities
are defined as the James Forrestal Building in Washington, D.C., and the
Germantown Main Building in Germantown, Maryland.

The Office of Administration (MA-40) and the Office of Environment
(EH-4) established a partnership to develop the DOE HQ Facilities EMS
pursuant to the requirements of DOE O 450.1, *Environmental Protection
Program* as of October 1, 2005. MA-40 is responsible for building
operations at the Forrestal and Germantown Buildings under delegated
authority from the General Services Administration (GSA). EH-4 provides
advice and consultation to Departmental Elements on environmental
issues.

    A.  []{#__RefHeading___Toc111255491 .anchor}Scope of DOE HQ EMS

The scope of the DOE HQ Facilities EMS encompasses two major facilities
-- the James Forrestal Building, 1000 Independence Avenue, Southwest,
Washington, D.C., and the Germantown Main Building, 19901 Germantown
Road, Germantown, Maryland, which are owned by GSA with DOE as the sole
tenant agency. Approximately 3,300 Federal and contractor employees
occupy the Forrestal Building and approximately 1,600 Federal and
contractor employees occupy the Germantown Main Building.

Although DOE Federal and contractor employees occupy other facilities in
leased space close to the Forrestal and Germantown buildings, this DOE
HQ Facilities EMS addresses only the environmental, safety and health
management systems at the Forrestal and Germantown Main Buildings for
conformance to the requirements of DOE O 450.1.

B.  []{#__RefHeading___Toc111255492 .anchor}Facility Description

The James Forrestal Building consists of three multistory office and
office support buildings providing 928,878 occupiable square feet (osf),
plus a single-story 7,788 osf Child Development Center on 15.9 acres on
a prestigious and desirable location on the National Mall. Original
construction was completed in 1969 and the Child Development Center was
completed in 1991. The building is in a protected historic area;
however, the Forrestal Complex is not on the National Register of
Historic Places.

There are 809 parking spaces in the basement under the main building and
43 outdoor parking spaces. The structural system for the building in the
Forrestal Complex is typically reinforced concrete, enclosed with
pre-cast concrete panels with modular window units on the main building,
and the adjacent Child Development Center has masonry exterior skin.

The Germantown Main Building was built in 1958 on a 98.6-acre site in
Germantown, Maryland. The site was initially acquired for the Atomic
Energy Commission (AEC), a DOE predecessor. DOE and its predecessor
agencies have been the sole tenants and users of the site and
facilities.

The site is improved with 10 structures: the Main Building, containing
373,051 osf of office, office support, and conference space; a 6,825-osf
auditorium, a 8,105-osf Child Development Center, 150,000 gallon water
tower, cooling towers, a 2,165-osf garage and boiler/refrigeration
plant, a 1,315-osf radio building, a 625-osf old equipment shed, and a
5,780-osf new equipment shed. The site has surface parking for 1,706
cars.

The buildings were constructed at various times, with the earliest about
1958. The Child Development Center was completed in 1992. The buildings
are concrete frame structures with exterior masonry walls. Portions of
the Main Building structure were designed to withstand nuclear attack.

Analysis of the Germantown Building demonstrates that it meets the
ENERGY STAR[^1] performance targets of energy efficiency, thermal
comfort, indoor air quality, and illuminance level; the building
received the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)/DOE ENERGY STAR label
for buildings in 2003.

II. EMS POLICY AT DOE HEADQUARTERS FACILITIES

It is the Department's policy to manage and maintain DOE HQ operations
and facilities in such a manner to:

-   Implement sound stewardship practices that are protective of the
    environment, safety and health of DOE HQ employees, support
    contractors, and occupants;

-   Cost effectively eliminate or reduce the generation and release of
    pollutants from activities and services and reduce consumption of
    natural resources through conservation, cost effective
    reuse/recycling, use of recycled content materials, use of other
    environmentally preferable products;

-   Work cooperatively with and encourage DOE HQ employees to integrate
    environment, safety and health into their work while also meeting
    mission objectives and strategic goals;

-   Ensure that pollution prevention and environmentally preferable
    purchasing are considered in the operation of DOE HQ facilities;

-   Ensure compliance with applicable environmental laws regulations,
    and other requirements;

-   Establish a framework for setting and reviewing environmental
    objectives and targets;

-   Implement program improvements in existing management systems, as
    appropriate, to ensure continual improvement of environment, safety
    and health performance and compliance; and,

-   Communicate environmental policies to and encourage all Departmental
    elements using DOE HQ facilities to support the policy and its
    goals.

III. []{#__RefHeading___Toc111255495 .anchor}PLANNING

The Planning Phase of the EMS consists of the following major steps --
identifying environmental aspects and determining significant aspects,
identifying applicable legal and other requirements, setting objectives
and targets for reducing environmental impacts, and establishing
programs to achieve them.

The DOE HQ EMS Team identified environmental aspects related to building
operations at the Forrestal and Germantown Main Buildings through
meetings and interviews with the MA-40 staff. The planning function
involved determining significant environmental aspects with applicable
legal and other requirements, including DOE O 450.1 requirements
applicable to DOE HQ operations.

The second part of the planning phase was setting objectives and
targets. Objectives describe the goals for environmental performance and
targets are specific and measurable steps that can be achieved to reduce
environmental impacts. The EMS Team documented existing objectives and
targets that are required pursuant to laws, regulations, Executive
Orders, DOE directives, and policy. Targets were set based on these
requirements and existing strategic plans.

Environmental Management Programs (EMPs), which are in place to achieve
the objectives and targets, were developed for three distinct areas --
Natural Resources Conservation, Waste Generation and Recycling, and
Employee Workplace. The EMS Team developed these EMPs along the business
lines in the Office of Management (MA), the Office of Environment,
Safety and Health (EH), Office of Human Capital Management (HR), and the
Office of the Chief Information Officer (IM).

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc111255496 .anchor}**A. Environmental Aspects and
Impacts**

The first step in developing the DOE HQ EMS was to identify how building
operations might affect the environment. Three key areas examined were
activities, products, and services. First, activities offer the greatest
possibilities for DOE HQ elements to influence the environment.
Activities include those that generate waste; general administrative
activities that use resources, including energy, paper, water, or
natural resources; and transportation activities that use fossil fuels
and produce air emissions.

Second, the environmental aspects are attributes of a site's activities,
products, and services that can interact with the environment. The
members of the DOE HQ EMS Team used brainstorming methods to develop the
environmental aspects for DOE HQ. Third, the environmental impact of an
aspect is defined by the likelihood of that aspect occurring and the
likely consequences to the DOE environment, mission, and/or community
when it does occur.

Table 3 lists DOE HQ activities, products and services, the responsible
entity (DOE or GSA), environmental aspects, and environmental impacts.

    Aspects and Identifying Environmental Aspects with Regulatory
    Consequences

An aspect is significant when it is determined to have a significant
potential impact on the environment or organization. In determining
which DOE HQ environmental aspects are significant, the EMS Team
analyzed environmental, regulatory, and organizational considerations.

For purposes of the DOE HQ Facilities EMS, aspects that have regulatory
implications are considered significant. For this EMS, regulatory
implications are defined as mandated by Federal, State, or local
government agency statutes, laws, or regulations, Executive Orders, and
DOE Directives. The following statutes, laws, regulations, Executive
Orders, DOE Directives, Acquisition Letters, and Memoranda of
Understanding have regulatory implications for the DOE HQ Facilities
EMS.

2.  []{#__RefHeading___Toc111255498 .anchor}DOE O 450.1 Requirements

The objectives of DOE O 450.1 are to be accomplished through the
implementation of EMS. The general requirements of the Order are to:

-   Provide for the systematic planning, integrated execution, and
    evaluation of programs for public health and environmental
    protection; pollution prevention (P2); and compliance with
    applicable environmental protection requirements.

-   Include policies, procedures, and training to identify activities
    with significant environmental impacts; manage, control, and
    mitigate the impacts of these activities; and assess performance and
    implement corrective actions where needed.

-   Include measurable environmental goals, objectives, and targets that
    are reviewed annually and updated when appropriate.

The DOE HQ EMS meets the general requirements of DOE O 450.1, Chg. 1.

The following elements of Section 4.b. of DOE O 450.1, Chg. 1, were
determined to be not applicable at DOE HQ:

-   Conformity of DOE proposed actions with State Implementation Plans
    to attain and maintain national ambient air quality standards.

-   Implementation of watershed approach for surface water protection;

-   Implementation of site-wide approach for groundwater protection;

-   Protection of site resources for wild land and operational fires.

-   Protection of cultural resources.

-   Promote the long term stewardship of a site's natural and cultural
    resources throughout its operational, closure, and post-closure life
    cycle.

-   Ensure the early identification of, and appropriate resources to,
    potential adverse environmental impacts associated with DOE
    operations, including, as appropriate, pre-operational
    characterization and assessment, and effluent and surveillance
    monitoring.

The following elements of Section 4.b. of DOE O 450.1, Chg. 1, were
determined to be applicable:

-   Protection of other natural resources, including biota.

-   Reduce or eliminate the generation of waste, the release of
    pollutants to the environment and the use of Class I ozone-depleting
    substances (ODS) through source reduction, re-use, segregation, and
    recycling and by procuring recycled-content materials and
    environmentally preferable products and services.

Biota is generally defined as plant and animal life of a particular
region. DOE HQ has adopted an Integrated Pest Management System (IPM)
which is defined as a coordinated system of technological and management
practices to control pests in a safe, environmentally sound and
economical manner. It is a process for minimizing pesticide use and risk
while maximizing the control of pests that affect public health, impede
operations, or damage property. IPM has been mandated by GSA since 1996.

DOE HQ identified a target to eliminate the use of Class I ODS
substances by 2010, to the extent economically practicable, and to the
extent that safe alternative chemicals are available for DOE Class I
applications.

A.  []{#__RefHeading___Toc111255499 .anchor} Objectives and Targets

Setting objectives and targets for the significant environmental aspects
listed in Table 4 is a key facet in the development of the EMP. Through
the achievement of these objectives and targets an organization
addresses its significant aspects, including compliance, mission, and
environmental risks.

EMS objectives describe an organization's goals for environmental
performance. Objectives should be measurable and quantifiable. EMS
targets are specific and measurable immediate steps that can be
achieved.

The EMS Team identified the following aspects as significant:

-   Use of Electricity in Building Operations

-   Use of Water in Building Operations

-   Use of Fossil Fuels in Building Operations

-   Use of Fossil Fuels in Transportation

-   Generation of Solid Waste and Recyclables (including biohazards)

-   Air Emissions

IV. []{#__RefHeading___Toc111255506 .anchor}IMPLEMENTATION AND OPERATION

The objective of DOE O 450.1 is to implement sound stewardship practices
that are protective of air, water, land, and other natural and cultural
resources affected by DOE operations and by which DOE cost-effectively
meets or exceeds compliance with applicable environmental; public
health; and resource protection laws, regulations and DOE requirements.
This objective is accomplished by implementing EMS at appropriate DOE
facilities, including DOE HQ.

All employees have a role to play in the implementation of the HQ EMS.
This is because all job functions at DOE HQ are likely to have the
opportunity to interact with the aspects identified in the HQ EMS at
some point. EMS procedures should be implemented at all levels and
functions and integrated into existing HQ facilities management systems.
Procedures should reflect activities from the ground up, not from the
top down. It is essential that HQ employees be able to follow procedures
easily that apply to their job function.

A.  []{#__RefHeading___Toc111255507 .anchor}Environmental Management
    Program

An EMP is created to achieve goals, objectives, and targets set for
significant environmental aspects. The DOE HQ EMP covers all EMS goals,
objectives, targets set for significant environmental aspects, and
includes information on the allocation of organizational resources, the
assignment of EMP responsibilities for tasks, and the specification of
timelines for actions to be taken. The EMP documents other EMS elements
such as employee training, operational controls, performance indicators,
and relevant legal requirements. Based on the significant environmental
aspects identified, the EMS Team developed three EMPs -- Natural
Resources Conservation EMP; Waste Generation, Recycling and Green
Purchasing EMP; and Employee and Worklife EMP.

1.  []{#__RefHeading___Toc111255508 .anchor}Natural Resources
    Conservation Environmental Management Program

The EMS Team developed the Natural Resources Conservation EMP to include
the following significant aspects: Use of Electricity in Building
Operations, Use of Water in Building Operations, Use of Fossil Fuels in
Building Operations, Use of Fossil Fuels in Transportation, and Air
Emissions.

Table 11 illustrates the elements of the Natural Resources Conservation
EMP based on the business lines of the Office of Management (MA), Office
of Human Capital Management (HR) and the General Services Administration
(GSA) and Table 12 illustrates the targets and performance indicators
for this EMP.

B.  []{#__RefHeading___Toc111255511 .anchor}Operational Controls and
    Procedures

Operational controls are an important element for managing EMS goals,
objectives, and targets. Operational controls are applied to specific
activities or processes managed by the EMP and fall into two categories
-- engineering controls and administrative controls.

Engineering controls intervene mechanically to avoid potential
environmental, safety, or health incidents. For example, during the
restroom modernization project in FORS, controls were set in place, such
as plastic sheeting in the doorways to reduce the spread of construction
dusts, mopping floors to minimize dust in the corridors outside the
restrooms, and air monitoring (upon request) to measure air quality.

Administrative controls include procedural approaches to activities,
such as procedures for informing DOE HQ staff of the appropriate items
for recycling and locations to bring recyclable materials.

The existing engineering and administrative operational controls for
building operations at FORS and GTN are maintained through Standard
Operating Procedures maintained by the Office of Administration.

C.  []{#__RefHeading___Toc111255512 .anchor}Records and Documents

Records and documents at DOE HQ are maintained pursuant to HQ O 1324.1A,
*Records Management,* DOE O 200.1, *Information Management,* and Draft
DOE O 243.X, *Records Management Program.*

D.  []{#__RefHeading___Toc111255513 .anchor}Training, Awareness, and
    Competence

Training, awareness and competence are an important element of EMS
implementation at DOE HQ. DOE O 450.1, Chg.1, § 5.f.(1) requires that
ME[^3] include, as appropriate, training on environmental requirements
and EMSs in the standard senior-level management training for program
managers, contracting personnel, procurement and acquisition personnel,
facility managers, and other personnel. A formal training program does
not currently exist, but may be developed in the future.

DOE G 450.1-10, *Senior Managers' Implementation Guide for Use with DOE
O 450.1, Environmental Protection Program,* developed by the Office of
Environment, provides a summary description of EMSs for DOE senior
managers, including their responsibilities as they apply to the
successful implementation of an EMS and the expected benefits to be
derived from such implementation. An accompanying training module to
this guidance is available for employee use on the Office of Environment
website at <http://www.eh.doe.gov/oepa>.

Training for staff in the Office of Administration responsible for
building operations is obtained through on-the-job training, standard
operating procedures and preventative maintenance procedures.

Information for DOE HQ employees to increase awareness of pollution
prevention is provided through the P2 webpage
(<http://www.eh.doe.gov/p2>). Information regarding the affirmative
procurement of environmentally preferable products is provided through
the MA Office of Procurement webpage
([http://professionals.pr.doe.gov](http://professionals.pr.doe.gov/)).
Information for employees on employee worklife programs is available on
the Office of Human Capital Management webpage at
[http://www.humancapital.doe.gov](http://www.humancapital.doe.gov/).

E.  []{#__RefHeading___Toc111255514 .anchor}Communications

DOE HQ employees receive information on environmental issues,
conservation, pollution prevention, and safety throughout the year
through Earth Day events, National Recycling Day, lobby displays, awards
programs, and DOECASTs. Information on this EMS will be communicated to
DOE HQ employees through these programs and new initiatives such as the
"Pride in Your Workplace" campaign. This campaign, initiated by the
Office of Administration, is designed to improve safety and health,
focus attention on solutions to problems, and educate employees and
managers through posters, flyers, broadcast messages, mandatory
training, and an integrated effort with DOE HQ elements.

F.  []{#__RefHeading___Toc111255515 .anchor}Emergency Preparedness,
    Response, and Safety

The DOE HQ Safety and Health Programs, in the Office of Administration
provide information, guidelines, documentation, training, and materials
on many aspects of Safety and Health in HQ buildings.

The Occupant Emergency Plan (OEP) provides specific procedures to
protect life and property in emergency situations. The Office of
Administration has responsibility for implementing the overall program
for DOE HQ facilities. In leased space, the lead agency is responsible
for coordinating the overall plan. Each Program Secretarial Office is
responsible for the implementation of the detailed OEP requirements for
the areas of the building they occupy. The basic OEP provides the basic
information, including duties and responsibilities that are applicable
to all buildings. The basic OEP, Forrestal OEP, and Germantown OEP are
at the Office of Administration website at
[http://www.administration.doe.gov](http://www.administration.doe.gov/).

All HQ employees must receive annual training on emergency procedures. A
6-minute video has been created enabling convenient viewing at the
employee's desktop through the On-Line Learning Center (OLC). This video
is the first in a series designed to provide the employee with basic
information on emergency procedures. It is applicable to all HQ
buildings and will be followed by videos specific to each building.
Program Offices are responsible for ensuring that their employees view
this video. The video is available with closed captioning from the
Washington Area Training and Employees Development Center, and from the
Forrestal and Germantown libraries.

As part of continuing effort to improve the DOE HQ OEP, evacuation
exercises occur periodically throughout the year. The objective of these
exercises is for all employees and Emergency Response Team members to
practice actions they would take in a real evacuation or need to shelter
in place.

The HQ Occupant Planning Team provides Occupant Emergency Plan Warden
and Monitor Training. Wardens, Monitors, and Assistants should attend
the training on an annual basis to learn and/or improve how to perform
the duties of their positions safely.

The objective of DOE HQ O 442.1, *Headquarters Occupational Safety and
Health Program*, is to implement the Occupational Safety and Health
Program for DOE HQ employees as an element of the DOE Integrated Safety
Management System. This purpose of the program is to:

-   Provide employees with places and conditions of employment that are
    free from recognized hazards likely to cause death, injuries, or
    illnesses.

-   Establish and maintain an Occupational Safety and Health Program
    conforming to the requirements of applicable DOE directives.

-   Ensure that line managers understand their safety and health
    responsibilities for the workers they supervise and workplaces they
    manage.

-   Ensure compliance with appropriate standards through periodic
    workplace inspections.

-   Ensure prompt abatement of unsafe or unhealthful working conditions,
    or the development of plans that include a timetable for abatement
    and interim protective measures.

-   Establish procedures designed to consider and investigate reports of
    unsafe or unhealthful working conditions; meet recordkeeping and
    reporting requirements; coordinate and evaluate safety and health
    activities; and provide training and education and promote awareness
    of the DOE safety and health program as required by Title 29, Code
    of Federal Regulations, Part 1960, Basic Program Elements for
    Federal Employee Occupational Safety and Health Programs and Related
    Matters.

-   Ensure that no employee is subject to restraint, interference,
    coercion, discrimination, or reprisal for reporting an unsafe or
    unhealthful working condition.

EH is responsible for implementation of the Federal Occupational Safety
and Health (FEOSH) Program. This Program supports line management
through the transfer of pertinent information, guidance, technical
expertise and assistance, and program evaluation. It operates
successfully through continued open communication and effective
partnerships among management, professionals implementing the program,
and labor organizations. The FEOSH program commits to activities that
(1) ensure the safety and health of DOE Federal employees; (2) maintain
a strong partnership with Departmental FEOSH programs, labor
organizations, and other Federal Agencies; (3) recognize and respond to
safety and health concerns; (4) focus on value-added activities; (5)
conserve Departmental resources; and (6) build on the experience of
others.

V.  []{#__RefHeading___Toc111255516 .anchor}CHECKING AND CORRECTIVE
    ACTION

As the DOE HQ EMS is implemented, the EMS Team might find system
deficiencies. As part of checking and corrective action, the Team
develops a procedure to assess the deficiency to determine the
appropriate corrective action. Checking and corrective action are
typically ongoing activities.

A.  []{#__RefHeading___Toc111255517 .anchor}Assessment Program

Self-assessment activities range from informal to formal and structured.
A formal self-assessment will be conducted by the Office of
Administration and the Office of Environment to evaluate the DOE HQ EMS.
Conducting an assessment is not a one-time activity. To ensure that
assessments occur in an organized fashion with regularity, efficiency,
and effectiveness, an Assessment Program has been developed. The program
consists of the activities associated with providing for, preparing for,
and carrying out the assessment. It includes the establishment of
assessment procedures, protocols, and criteria that verify the
effectiveness of the individual elements of the EMS and of the EMS in
its entirety. The program includes provisions and arrangements for
ongoing assessments, as well as a systematic approach for preparing for
and planning each assessment. Elements of the Assessment Program
include:

-   Communicating the Assessment Program to relevant parties;

-   Coordinating and scheduling assessments and other Assessment Program
    activities;

-   Establishing and maintaining a process for initial training of the
    assessment team and for the ongoing evaluation of its training
    needs;

-   Ensuring the selection of assessment teams;

-   Providing necessary resources for assessment teams;

-   Ensuring the performance of assessments in accordance with the
    Assessment Program;

-   Ensuring control of records of assessment activities;

-   Ensuring review and approval of assessment reports, and ensuring
    their distribution to the site being assessed and other specific
    parties; and

-   Ensuring assessment follow-up, when applicable.

The EMS assessment is a review of system implementation and system
strength. It should provide senior management with information about the
EMS and enable managers to identify priority areas for improvement. The
management review should include information gained from the EMS
assessment.

The Office of Independent Oversight and Performance (OA) (pursuant to
DOE O 450.1, chg.1, §5f.) must evaluate the effectiveness of DOE HQ and
field organization implementation of the requirements of the Order.

Appendix A contains the Assessment Plan for the DOE HQ EMS.

A.  []{#__RefHeading___Toc111255518 .anchor}Nonconformance, Corrective,
    and Preventive Actions

A key element of the Assessment Plan is identification of
nonconformances and developing corrective and preventive action plans.
When a nonconformance is identified, the EMS Team Leaders will ascertain
its extent. The Team Leaders will schedule a meeting with the affected
staff members and/or manager on actions to mitigate impacts caused by
the nonconformance and analysis of root cause(s), and to assist them in
developing a process for initiating and completing the corrective
actions. The affected staff members/managers are responsible to ensure
completion of the corrective action.

The Team Leaders will track the status of the corrective and preventive
actions and verify completion. The Team Leaders will confer with and
advise the affected staff members/managers on prevention of the
nonconformance.

The nonconformance, corrective and preventive action should be
documented in a Corrective Action Report that includes the following
elements:

-   Documentation of the nonconformance with the EMS, including date of
    occurrence(s), date of corrective action, and date of completion.

-   Documentation identifying root cause(s) and corrective and
    preventive actions taken to mitigate the nonconformance.

-   Documentation of the changes in operational processes and procedures
    for corrective and preventive actions.

    A.  []{#__RefHeading___Toc111255519 .anchor}Monitoring and
        Measurement

Performance indicators monitor and measure progress in meeting the
targets set forth in the EMPs. These indicators should be quantifiable
and documented, but if this is not possible, progress toward meeting the
targets should be documented. The management review includes the
information documented.

B.  []{#__RefHeading___Toc111255520 .anchor}Management Review

When applied to the DOE HQ EMS, the term "Management Review" refers to
the periodic evaluation of the EMS by senior management. For the DOE HQ
EMS, *senior management* is defined as the Director, Office of
Administration, since the decision-making responsibilities for DOE HQ
operations are within the purview of MA-40. The Office of Environment
(EH-4) will provide consultative support to MA-40 during the management
review. This review completes the EMS plan-do-check-act cycle. The
Management Review is NOT the same as the assessment process; however,
management review should consider the results of the assessment.

The primary goal of the Management Review is to ensure that the EMS
continues to be suitable, adequate, and effective for its intended
purposes. Suitability refers to the nature of the EMS and whether it
continues to be appropriate for the organization. Adequacy refers to the
sufficiency (resources) of the arrangements for the EMS. Effectiveness
refers to the system's progress in accomplishing the objectives and
targets set for the EMS.

Other important purposes of the Management Review are to:

-   Ensure that senior management stays involved in the EMS;

-   Give the EMS visibility within DOE HQ; and,

-   Allow senior management to set the environmental, safety and health
    policy for DOE HQ and give guidance and direction for continual
    improvement of the system.

The Management Review of the DOE HQ EMS will occur on an annual basis,
unless a more frequent review is necessary. The review will examine all
areas of the EMS including, but not limited to:

-   Assessment results and corrective action plans;

-   Progress toward achieving objectives and targets;

-   Regulatory compliance and DOE O 450.1 conformance status;

-   Proposed modifications to the EMS to ensure continual improvement.

Sufficient information will be provided for management to make an
informed decision on whether the EMS continues to be suitable, adequate,
and effective for its intended purposes, and whether there need to be
decisions or actions to ensure its continual improvement.

The Management Review process will consist of briefings and meetings, as
necessary, for senior management to make a determination on the
effectiveness of EMS implementation and the ability to accomplish the
objectives and targets.

Senior management will also consider whether the EMS continues to be
adequate and suitable for its intended purposes. The DOE HQ EMS Team,
led by MA-40, with support from EH-4 staff, as needed, will be
responsible for documenting the action items and recommendations from
the meetings and briefings for the Management Review Report.

After reviewing the report, senior management will give direction on
implementation of the recommendations to the staff.

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc111255522 .anchor}APPENDIX A---ASSESSMENT PLAN

**ASSESSMENT PLAN PROCEDURES**

**A. Pre-Assessment Activities**

EMS Team Leader will meet at least 60 days prior to the initiation of
the annual assessment to determine its scope and coordinate with
scheduled operational assessments. The Team Leaders will contact
potential team members and schedule a scoping meeting. In addition, the
Team Leaders will arrange training for potential team members and draft
an Assessment Plan. The Assessment Plan will address the following:

-   Assessment scope and objective

-   Assessment criteria to be applied

-   Contacts

-   Assessment dates, times, and other logistics

-   Review and collection of previous assessments, documents, and
    records

-   Protocol for conducting the assessment

-   Responsibility for writing the assessment report and corrective
    action report

**B. Scoping Meeting**

At the scoping meeting, the Team Leaders will brief the EMS Team on the
assessment plan, coordinate logistics, review previous assessments and
documents, and set up a schedule of meetings with personnel responsible
for operations the Team will observe during the assessment.

**C. Assessment Activities**

At the initiation of assessment activities, the Team Leaders will meet
with the EMS Team to review assessment criteria and assign tasks. The
assessment will be conducted through interviews with personnel,
observation of operational conditions in relation to environmental
impacts, and document review.

The EMS Team will document findings and corrective actions and have
daily close-out meetings with the Team Leaders. Copies of the
predecisional findings and corrective actions are for the EMS Team only.

**D. Report Writing**

When the assessment activities are complete, EMS Team members will
prepare their inputs for the final draft report. This report will
document the findings of the assessment. Findings will be categorized as
"effective performance," "needs improvement," or "significant weakness."

The Team Leaders will compile the information for the final assessment
report they will submit to management. As part of the final report, a
corrective action report will be presented to the appropriate managers
to address assessment findings and a plan to complete corrective
actions.

**E. Assessment Closeout**

The Team Leaders will provide the findings of the assessment report to
management. The Team Leaders will brief management on the corrective
actions during the Management Review. Actions taken as part of the
corrective action plan are part of the Management Review. The Assessment
Template below is an example of the format that may be used.
