Environmental Aspects Background and Exhibits In Module 1, you defined the scope of your facility’s EMS, in Module 3, you drafted your facility’s policy that included commitments for continual improvement and prevention of pollution, and in Module 4, you identified the legal requirements and voluntary commitments that apply to your facility. In Module 5, you will use all that information as you identify the environmental aspects associated with your facility and determine the subset of these aspects that have significant impacts. The outcome of Module 5’s activities will be your list of significant environmental aspects (SEAs), upon which all of your subsequent objectives and targets, environmental management programs (EMPs), operational controls, monitoring and measurement, training, etc., will be based within your EMS.
Definitions and Relationships An environmental aspect is defined as an element of a facility’s activities, products, or services that can or does interact with the environment. These interactions and their effects may be continuous in nature, periodic, or associated only with events, such as emergencies. An environmental impact is defined as any change to the environment, whether adverse or beneficial, resulting from a facility’s activities, products, or services. A significant environmental aspect is one that may produce a significant environmental impact. In short, the aspect is the cause and the impact is the effect. Exhibit 5-1: Cause and Effect — Environmental Aspects and Environmental Impacts, provides examples of this relationship.

Techniques and Data Sources for Identifying and Evaluating Environmental Aspects As shown in Exhibit 5-2: Selected Techniques and Data Sources for Identifying and Evaluating Environmental Aspects and Impacts, there are numerous techniques and data sources to assist you in identifying and evaluating environmental aspects and impacts at your facility. You may already have experience using some of these techniques at your shipyard. Note that much of the data you have collected to date will be useful as you identify environmental aspects and determine their significance.

Environmental Compliance Audits Environmental Cost Accounting Environmental Impact Assessments Environmental Property Assessments Failure Mode and Effects Analyses Life Cycle Assessments Pollution Prevention or Waste Minimization Audits Process Flow Diagrams Process Hazard Analyses Project Safety/Hazard Reviews Risk Assessments
When Best Used Used to quantify emissions of pollutants to the air. Some data on emissions or chemicals of concern may already be available to you, based on EPCRA requirements and Clean Air Act (CAA) Title V permitting program data requirements. Used to assess compliance with federal, state, and local environmental regulations. These methodologies are in common use. Their scope and level of detail vary. These are not typically directed at examining environmental impacts (particularly for products). Used to assess the full environmental costs associated with activities, products, or services. Emerging protocols require comprehensive assessments to quantify such costs. Used to satisfy requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) regarding the evaluation of environmental impacts associated with proposed projects. Methodology in common use, but not typically used to assess environmental impacts associated with existing operations. Used to assess potential environmental liabilities associated with facility or business acquisitions or divestitures. The scope and level of detail is variable. These assessments typically do not assess impacts associated with products or services. Commonly used in the quality field to identify and prioritize potential equipment and process failures as well as to identify potential corrective actions. Often used as a precursor to formal root cause analyses. Used to assess the cradle-to-grave impacts of products or processes, from raw material procurement through disposal. Life-cycle methodologies are somewhat subjective and can be resource intensive. These methodologies are described in ISO 14040-14048. Used to identify opportunities to reduce or eliminate pollution at the source and to identify recycling options. Requires a fairly rigorous assessment of facility operations. These audits typically do not examine off-site impacts. Used to allow an organization to visualize and understand how work gets accomplished and how its work processes can be improved. Used to identify and assess potential impacts associated with unplanned releases of hazardous materials. Methodology in common use due to Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) Process Safety Management regulations. Typically employs team approach to identify and rank hazards. Used to assess and mitigate potential safety hazards associated with new or modified projects. Methodologies in common use. Typically do not focus on environmental issues. Used to assess potential health and/or environment risks typically associated with chemical exposure. Variety of qualitative and quantitative methodologies in common use.
A recommended approach, which is described in detail below, is based on creating process flow diagrams. This approach is recommended because it will give you a thorough understanding of all of your facility’s processes.

The Process Flow Diagram
Technique Process flow diagrams allow facilities to visualize and understand how processes work and how they might be improved. As illustrated in Examples 5-1 through 5-21 later in this module, a process flow diagram visually depicts: • Inputs of the process or activity, which include energy and other resources consumed and raw materials and chemicals used; • Step-by-step process flows; • Decision points (e.g., on alternate methods); and • Process outputs, which include products or services, air emissions, noise, odor, radiation, wastewater discharges, solid waste, and hazardous wastes. As an EMS tool, they help facilities to identify inputs (such as chemicals, raw materials, and other resources used), outputs (including products, wastes, air emissions, etc.), and decision points and interactions with other processes, and thereby help to identify environmental aspects and impacts. Using this technique to identify environmental aspects involves the following tasks, each of which is described in greater detail below: • Subdividing your facility into appropriate units, i.e., activities and processes, for subsequent environmental aspects data collection; • Developing process flow diagrams, which are essentially material balance sheets (of all inputs and outputs) of the activities and processes; • Identifying environmental aspects by transferring the input and output information from the process flow diagrams to environment aspect identification forms; • Determining SEAs by evaluating the identified environmental aspects against pre-established significance determination criteria to arrive at the list of SEAs, upon which other elements of an EMS will be based;
• Documenting your approach to environmental aspects identification and significance determination in a written procedure; and • Reviewing and revising environmental aspects over time.
Subdividing Your Facility into Appropriate Units The appropriate level of subdivision will be one that balances the need to capture all relevant input/output information with a desire to avoid having too much unwieldy information, much of which might be redundant. Also keep in mind that the scheme for subdividing the facility should mirror how the facility is divided in terms of staffing and supervision. The people who manage and work in these areas will ultimately take ownership of the SEAs, work instructions, and monitoring and measurement that result from this process. Exhibit 5-3: A List of Common Activities and Processes with Functional Areas at Shipbuilding and Ship Repair Facilities, identifies more than 25 common activities and processes across 6 general functional areas at a typical shipbuilding and ship repair facility. Remember to look at services as well as products. While the need to examine on-site operations might be obvious, you also should consider identifying aspects of activities that might be done off-site (such as servicing equipment at a customer’s site). Similarly, the environmental aspects of the products, vendors, and contractors you use may be less obvious, but many will be appropriate to consider. Aspects may also result from past activities, such as spills. You may want to refer to the defined scope of your EMS (see Module 1) in determining the set of processes and activities for which aspects will be identified.

Developing Process Flow Diagrams Use a team to diagram the inputs and outputs of the activities and processes into which you have subdivided your facility. At a minimum, the team should include the process “owner.” Probably it should also include members of the Cross Functional Team (CFT) who have become specialists in environmental aspect identification.

This information should be arranged on the environmental aspect identification form by input subcategory (e.g., supplies, chemicals, energy use, or water use) and by output subcategory (e.g., air emissions, noise/odor/radiation, water discharges, solid/residual wastes, storm water discharges, or spills). Having these subcategories on the form should reduce the likelihood of mistakenly neglecting relevant aspect information.

Determining Significant Environmental Aspects Determining which aspects have significant impacts, and therefore will be included in your EMS as SEAs, is one of the most crucial steps in EMS planning. It can be one of the most challenging as well as one of the most rewarding. Decisions you make in this step will affect many other system elements, such as setting objectives and targets, establishing operational controls, and defining monitoring needs. Careful planning of this activity will pay dividends later. Determining which aspects are significant involves some subjective decisions. For this reason, you will achieve more balanced results by having a CFT that represents different job functions. This will provide a cross-section of operational experience and different perspectives. Your CFT should carefully define the criteria that will be used to determine which environmental aspects are significant. The criteria presented below are intended to achieve a balance between structure and flexibility. They are a starting point that you can use to customize your own criteria. • An obvious initial criterion is whether the aspect is subject to environmental regulationsall of these aspects, as defined by broad scientific and legislative consensus, are significant. A closely related condition is whether an aspect is the subject of facility policy, goals, or voluntary commitments. For example, many facilities have established energy-use, wateruse, or waste reduction goals and targets because it also makes good business sense. If these facility policies/goals apply to your facility, then the associated aspects should be considered significant.
• A second criterion to consider involves the views of interested parties. One of the commitments of your environmental policy must be communication with external stakeholders. There are a variety of community concerns that might affect your designation of a particular activity as a significant aspect. These may include issues other than pollution. Some examples are the noise level or odor produced by your facility; increased traffic caused by your business; and increased light needed for your operations. Aspects that the community considers important (for example, aspects that the community has lodged complaints about) should be labeled as significant in your EMS. • A third criterion is whether the aspect has good technical and financial potential for pollution prevention improvements (such as the reduced use of water, energy, or hazardous materials). Pollution prevention is also included in your environmental policy. The determination that makes for a particular aspect under this criterion is highly subject to the specific circumstances and values of your facility and community. For example, a high rate of water use would be of higher concern in a desert region than in a region where water is more plentiful. The determination that your CFT makes is based on your judgment and your facility’s specific circumstances. • A final criterion is one that your CFT customizes for your facility. A commonly used approach relies on scoring environmental aspects based on magnitude, frequency, toxicity, and duration.
Module Environmental Aspects
5-5
EMS Implementation Guide for the Shipbuilding and Ship Repair Industry
Where appropriate, individual aspects can be grouped. For example, if energy use is listed as an environmental aspect for several processes, it may also be a facility-wide concern. The CFT could list energy on each process-specific aspect form and then record the aspect and significance determination on a facility-wide form to indicate it as a facilitywide concern. As shown in Exhibit 5-4: Significant Environmental Aspects as a Basis for Operational Controls and Objectives and Targets, SEAs serve as the basis for further planning of your EMS. In a subsequent step, each SEA will be assigned an objective. That is, it either becomes the subject of: controls, which are ongoing; improvements, which have targets that specify how much can be achieved and by when; or an investigation leading to improvements (Module 6), which will have targets that indicate when study results will be issued. Each improvement (and investigation) objective will be associated with an EMP that specifies who is responsible for what outcomes and by when (Module 7). In addition, your facility’s SEAs will have key characteristics that are monitored and measured (Module 14), and also will be the basis for determining where operational controls are required (Module 12).
Documenting Your Approach You need to describe your approach to identifying aspects and determining their significance in the form of a written procedure. You can modify Exhibit 5-5: Procedure for Environmental Aspects, Objectives and Targets, and Programs (EP-003), to develop that procedure. Variations on this procedure are provided in Appendix D— Environmental Aspect/Impact Ranking. Keep the resulting information up-to-date, so that the potential aspects of new activities, products, and services are factored into your targets and objectives (see Module 6) and operational controls (see Module 12).
Reviewing and Revising Environmental Aspects Over Time Regularly revisiting your environmental aspects and objectives, as described in Module 6, is an essential step in developing an EMS that achieves the goal of continuous improvement. The regular review of aspects can be used to change the priorities you set last time, or it can be used to examine a part of your facility’s activities that you set aside last time. The regular review can be part of a planned “phasing in” process, wherein different parts of your facility’s operations are reviewed until all your facility’s activities are included in your EMS. The regular review of aspects is the foundation for your facility’s continuing improvement.

If possible, members of the CFT will conduct a physical inspection when completing the form. The completed form is a process flow diagram of a process or Establish Cross activity and is used to identify environmental aspects. Functional Team (CFT) 7.1.2 At a minimum, the CFT will review and revise the completed forms, by means of physical inspection, as necessary at issuance, annually, and before and immediately Determine Core following implementation of new or modified processes/activities. Processes and Supporting Activities 7.1.3 All environmental aspects are evaluated for significance as defined in the section below, Procedure for Determination of Significant Environmental Aspects. Inspect E ach Process/Activity and Create Process 7.1.4 The following procedure is used to fill out the Aspects Form (EF-003.01). Flow Diagram 7.1.5 Creating the process flow diagram consists of identifying all raw materials, chemicals, and utilities used as inputs and all outputs produces as products and byIdentify and Record products. Outputs are all products, wastes produced, recycled materials, water disEnv. Aspects charges, and air emissions known for the process(es). 7.1.6 When identifying inputs and outputs, all modes of operation will be considered beDetermine cause startup, shutdown, or emergency operations might introduce additional Significant Environm ental aspects to the process. When doing the diagrams, the team will make notes of other Aspects potentially useful information such as the quantity or volume used per unit time, where available. These diagrams will be improved over time with specific data to allow material balances in the long term, if this is not possible initially. To assist with these diagrams, the CFT shall consider the following potential inputs and outputs: • Inputs • Supplies: Enter the major, non-chemical supplies used in the process. • Chemical: Enter any chemical materials used in the process. • Energy Use: Enter energy type and usage. (Levels are relative to the facility.) • Water Use: Enter water type (e.g., city, well, storm, process, chilled) and usage. (Levels are relative to the facility.) • Other Inputs: Enter inputs that are not covered clearly in other categories. • Outputs • Air Emissions: List all air emissions whether they are drawn directly through a stack or are discharged into the room and escape as fugitive emissions. • Noise/Odor/Radiation: Include noise and odor as an air emission if potentially noticeable outside the facility and list any potential radiation emitted from the facility.

• Water Discharges: Enter all wastewater streams that discharge directly to storm or sanitary sewer systems or surface waters. Containerized wastewater should be included in the waste section. • Solid/Residual Wastes: Wastes are any materials intended to be discarded or disposed of, whether regulated or not, and include liquids, solids, and gases. Also include recycled materials, returnable containers, and chemical by-products under this category. • Stormwater Discharges: List all stormwater discharges from all process areas. • Spills: Enter all potential spills that might occur in all process areas. 7.2

Where appropriate, individual aspects can be grouped. For example, if the consumption of energy is listed as an environmental aspect in several areas, the CFT can group these listings such that consumption of energy appears just once on a facility-wide form. The following criteria will be used to determine significance and are listed in the Aspects Form (EF-003.01): 1. Legal Requirements/Voluntary Commitments/Company Policy: Subject to specifically relevant legislation, regulation, and/or permit requirements that address significant impacts to the environment. This will likely include aspects associated with processes and activities if (1) environmental regulations specify controls and conditions, (2) information must be provided to the authorities, and/or (3) there are, or may be, periodic inspections or enforcement actions taken by the authorities. Potential aspects that are subject to environmental regulations in the event of incidents will be recognized as significant when such an event occurs. A closely related condition is whether an aspect is the subject to or associated with environmentally-related facility goals, directives, policies, or subject to or associated with voluntary covenants to which the facility had committed. 2. Community Concern: Subject to or associated with community concerns, such as those previously expressed in the form of complaints or critical inquiry. 3. Pollution Prevention Potential: Based on technical and business conditions, has a high potential for pollution prevention or resource-use reduction. 4. Potential Impact to the Environment: Associated with potential impact to the environment from high environmental loading due to one or more of the following: a. Toxicity (compositional characterization of materials and wastes) b. Amounts (volumes and masses of emissions, waste, or releases) c. Amounts (consumption of renewable and non-renewable resources) d. Frequency of episodes e. Severity of actual or potential impacts (Note: Additional examples of how to determine significance are provided in Appendix D—Environmental Aspects/Impacts Ranking.)

Using the Significance Determination portion of the Aspects Form (EF-003.01), the CFT, or a subset thereof, shall evaluate, each identified aspect to determine whether it is significant. The environmental aspects will be considered to be “significant” if the aspect has an impact on the environment and meets one or more of the four criteria. For criteria 1 through 4, using your best judgment, backed up by research if possible, put Yes, No, or Not Applicable [NA] in the appropriate column on the Aspects Form [EF-003.01]. If any of the columns are assigned a Yes, indicate “S” for significant in the appropriate column for that aspect. Otherwise, indicate “N” for not significant. Provide the rationale for S or N in the appropriate column on the Aspects Form [EF-003.01]. 7.3
Establishing and Maintaining Objectives and Targets 7.3.1 The CFT shall establish and maintain environmental objectives and targets for all significant aspects. Objectives and targets shall be consistent with the [Facility’s Name] environmental policy and shall be one of three types: control; improve; or investigate. The environmental objectives and targets for each process shall be recorded using the last two columns of the Aspects Form (EF-003.01) for each process. (They can then be summarized on a form similar to Example 6-1: Objectives and Targets Organized by Category, for the facility as a whole. For each SEA, the organization will establish an appropriate objective and target.) There are three types of objectives represented as follows: C I S
= = =
Control or Maintain Improve Study or Investigate
Guidance regarding use of these objectives is provided below for use by the CFT: • Control or Maintain–is an appropriate objective for SEAs that are the subject of environmental regulations because the environmental policy states that we will comply with the law. In these cases, the objective will be to maintain conformance with operational controls, such as procedures and work instructions that apply to those significant aspects. The target will be ongoing. • Improve–is appropriate for SEAs that our facility goals commit us to improving upon. For example, energy- or water-use reductions that are not required by law but fall within our commitment to pollution prevention. Improvement objectives also can be used for SEAs that have regulatory drivers and environmental improvement goals. For example, we have regulatory requirements and fugitive emission reduction goals for our VOC emissions. Copper in storm water effluent is another example because we wish to reduce discharge levels below the limits set in our permits. Thus, the objective for these will be C and I (that is, maintain compliance and reduce emissions). • Study or Investigate–is appropriate in cases where the CFT thinks improvement will be feasible and beneficial, but study is needed to deter-

mine how much improvement can be achieved and timeframes that are feasible. The objective will be to study the alternatives by a target date in preparation for later setting an improvement objective (or dropping the objective if the study reveals that the changes are not financially, technologically, or logistically feasible). The CFT is also responsible for developing and recommending potential new environmental objectives to top management. In identifying potential new objectives, the CFT considers the following: • Environmental policy; • SEAs (especially those that pose chemical risk); • Applicable laws and regulations and potential future laws and regulations; • Practical business criteria, such as the potential costs and benefits of pursuing a particular environmental objective and our commitment to pollution prevention; and • The views of employees and other interested parties. When developing and recommending objectives, the CFT should consider the number of columns that were marked Yes on Aspects Form (EF-003.01). These columns relate to the significance criteria established by this EMS (legal/facility requirements, community concerns, pollution prevention potential, and/or potential impact on the environment). Those SEAs with two or more Yes rankings will likely be good candidates for control, improvement, or investigation. Performance against objectives and targets shall be reviewed at least every six months by the CFT and reported at the management review meeting (see EP-006, Environmental Management System Management Review). The management review shall endorse the facility environmental objectives and targets.
