NAVFAC Multi-Media Interactive Presentation

Jacobs has extensive knowledge of federal, state, and local environmental regulations from over 25 years of experience providing PST and assets compliance on Navy and other federal projects. We design PST and fuel facility improvements, prepare and update storage tank management plans, evaluate petroleum pipelines, and prepare and modify Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) plans.

Over the past 12 years, Jacobs has completed 23 task orders valued at nearly $7.5 million for PST and petroleum-related assets on the Multimedia Environmental Compliance contract. We are supporting Naval Support Facility Carderock’s Fuel Storage Program providing design, engineering, and surveying support and detailed construction planning engineering documents. Jacobs inspected aboveground petroleum storage and evaluated petroleum, oil, and lubricants compliance at Naval Support Facility Redzikowo, Poland and performed a fueling operation assessment for six vessel classes at Pier 23 at Naval Base Point Loma.

Jacobs is currently working with NAVFAC Southeast and Marine Corps Support Facility Blount Island preparing a Facility Response Plan and Emergency Response Assistance Plan. The team also created a standardized SPCC plan template to incorporate local policies and procedures to centralize key information in one location. The templates are user friendly and easily updated. Using the new template, we prepared and updated SPCC plans for nearly all Southeast bases, including outlying fields.

During site visits, Jacobs uses technology to drive efficiency and accuracy. By using tablets on site, our Storage Tank Institute standard SP001, 6^th edition-certified Aboveground Tank Inspectors conduct visual inspections of regulated infrastructure and record data in real time. They access and follow federal and state regulations, Department of Navy guidance, industry standards, and local fire codes to identify deficiencies in piping, container structure and integrity, leak detection systems, overfill prevention equipment, level gauges, and alarms. They share deficiencies related to regulatory requirements, industry standards, and fire codes with the Navy to allow for corrective action implementation, budgetary planning, and tracking.

Jacobs has extensive knowledge of federal, state, and local environmental regulations, having provided spill preparedness and planning compliance on Navy and other federal projects for the past 25 years. We design Oil and Hazardous Substance (OHS) Spill Contingency Plan facilities and provide drills and exercises to meet the National Preparedness for Response Exercise Program (PREP) guidelines. We also support the development of Natural Resources Damage Assessment Pre-incident Plans, OHS Spill Contingency Plans, Facility Response Plans (FRP), and Integrated Contingency Plans (ICP), and conduct trainings for Navy On-Scene Coordinators (NOSC) and for spill responses.

Over the past 12 years, Jacobs has completed 18 task orders for oil spill preparedness and planning valued at nearly $6 million on Multimedia Environmental Compliance contracts. Jacobs updated an SPCC plan for the aboveground petroleum storage facility at Naval Station Norfolk and Naval Support Facility Redzikowo, Poland, and evaluated petroleum, oil, and lubricants compliance.

Jacobs provides oil spill preparedness and planning support to Navy and Marine Corps installations throughout the Southeast. We prepared and updated FRPs and Spill Control Plans (SCP) for nearly every base, including outlying fields, in the Southeast. As part of plan development, our team visits the site, interviews base staff involved in spill response, inventories response equipment, performs hazard evaluations, and collects data to calculate discharge planning volumes and develop or update site-specific protection strategies.

Leading innovation, Jacobs uses Collector Map, a software package implemented in real time in the field on tablets to collect relative geo-referenced engineering data efficiently through a standard template. The FRPs and SCPs meet appropriate Navy, US Environmental Protection Agency, and other client guidance and federal and state regulations, and conform with federal guidelines and procedures and industry standards. We prepare the plans and protection strategies to minimize risk to the Navy and Marine Corps mission and protect environmentally sensitive areas. Additionally, we can customize our plans to meet specific installation requests, such as including base-specific standard operating procedures.

Jacobs has 40+ years of experience in the treatment of drinking water and has completed over 1,500 drinking water and reuse projects in the past 10 years at 500+ water treatment plants. Jacobs is a recognized leader in addressing water quality issues from emerging contaminants (e.g., PFAS and 1,4-dioxane). In 2017, Jacobs was awarded the Environmental Business Journal’s award for our Technical Practice on Emerging Contaminants. To date, we have completed hundreds of PFAS-related projects across our environmental portfolio for DOD and other clients.

Additionally, Jacobs supports the study of the impacts of climate change on source waters and treatment plants from forest fires, algae blooms, droughts, and floods. We led one of the first Water Research Foundation studies on the impacts of algal toxins .

Over the past 12 years, Jacobs has completed 4 task orders for Safe Drinking Water Act compliance valued at over $2.6 million on Multimedia Environmental Compliance contracts. We are updating the Cross-Connection Control Program Plans at Arlington National Cemetery and Naval Station Norfolk and performing compliance sampling for high levels of contaminants at Northwest Annex’s water system.

Our drinking water and reuse experts develop innovative and cost-effective solutions to address key challenges such as water contaminants and meeting drinking water regulations, aging infrastructure, and water scarcity. Our goal is to help our clients provide continuous, sustainable water supplies and high-quality drinking water. We do this by staying up to date on technology advances and regulatory compliance issues, mentoring staff on changing regulations, and serving as subject matter experts in drinking water, desalination, membrane, and reuse-related technical areas.

Jacobs is at the forefront of utilizing digital tools to aid in decision-making and optimization of water treatment infrastructure. We have utilized Replica, our digital twin suite, for over 20 years to solve complex integrated resource planning, hydraulic, optimization, and control problems, including master plans for Fort Irwin and Fort Campbell and Kunsan Air Force Base. Jacobs also leverages Replica for multiple water treatment plants (WTPs). NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic selected Jacobs as the prime consultant to develop a WTP design to replace existing water treatment facilities at MCB Camp Lejeune. The Replica model was used to support design, evaluate control strategies, and optimize treatment operations. At Woodland Davis Water Treatment Plant in California, we developed a digital twin of the facility to provide hydraulics analysis and predict controls performance during design to reduce risk during startup and acceptance testing, and subsequently to pre-tune the system and test scenarios during commissioning. Recently, we have focused on leveraging underutilized water quality and treatment data through machine learning to optimize treatment processes, predict algal blooms, and forecast water main replacements. We are currently using this for Clayton County, Georgia to build a reservoir.

Jacobs has decades of experience evaluating new and changing regulations and helping our clients understand and comply with Clean Water Act (CWA) rules. We perform National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting, Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) preparation and review, stormwater monitoring, Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) plan development, SWPPP/SPCC inspection, Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) development, and CWA compliance and auditing services.

Over the past 12 years, Jacobs has completed 23 task orders for CWA stormwater compliance valued at over $9.8 million on the Multimedia Environmental Compliance contract. We have completed groundwater monitoring, Class I permit application modifications, and stormwater compliance for projects at Naval Air Station Key West, Naval Support Facility Beaufort, Naval Auxiliary Landing Field Fentress, Naval Support Activity Hampton Roads, and the FBI at Marine Corps Base Quantico, as well as NASA, and Hill Air Force Base. US Army Reserve 81st Readiness Division hired Jacobs to train their staff members on all the aspects of multimedia environmental compliance awareness and pollution prevention.

Through our work in the industry, we are helping the wastewater industry shift its paradigm from one of pollution control to water resource recovery, which is essential to sustainably fulfill the needs of the public and the environment it serves.

Jacobs developed its proprietary Pro2D^2TM for wastewater simulation to evaluate wastewater resource recovery facilities. The software evaluates multiple treatment configurations and the latest treatment technologies such as thermal hydrolysis and nutrient recovery (struvite); creates a full model of hydraulic, air, control, and process systems; generates an early indication of project cost with minimal up-front information; and extracts calculations on heat and power to aid in maximizing potential for resource recovery.

Jacobs has extensive knowledge of federal, state, and local environmental regulations gained from over 40 years of providing hazardous material and solid and hazardous waste management services to our federal and private sector clients. We perform waste tracking, inspections, waste disposal, biennial waste reporting, and Waste Management Plan development.

Over the past 12 years, Jacobs has completed 20 task orders for waste and material management valued at nearly $7.6 million on the Multimedia Environmental Compliance contract. We are updating Solid Waste Management Plans at several overseas installations, including Naval Support Activity (NSA) Naples, Italy; Isa Air Base, Bahrain; and NSA Souda Bay, Greece. For NAVFAC Southeast installations, Jacobs is providing Hazardous Waste Management System implementation services. We are also performing Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know (EPCRA) reporting for 26 installations within the Marine Forces Reserves Command. In addition to the Navy and Marine Corps, Jacobs has served NASA, USACE, Air National Guard, and Army Reserve. Jacobs supported US Army Reserve 81^st Readiness Division training their staff members on all the aspects of EPCRA reporting for nine southeastern states and Puerto Rico.

Jacobs is committed to helping our Navy and Marine Corps clients minimize hazardous waste, when possible. We recommend pollution prevention measures within regulatory constraints and educate staff on the most recent federal, state, and local regulations. We assist the Army and Marine Corps with audits to identify hazardous material and hazardous waste management non-compliance and recommend best management practices. A certified Lead Auditor teaches a yearly 8-hour auditing class, and we promote mentorships and additional waste management training to prepare our staff to handle your most challenging projects. Our team is always learning; our motto is “learn it all or don’t learn it at all.”

Throughout project execution, Jacobs’ hazardous waste technologists participate in bi-weekly calls to discuss lessons learned, receive updates on new regulations, and share knowledge and past experiences from similar projects to provide the most cost-effective solutions. Jacobs established Communities of Practice (CoP) in Auditing and Compliance, Emerging Contaminants, Environmental Managers, Waste Planning and Strategy, Custom Digital Solutions for Environmental Health and Safety Information Management, and Sustainable Infrastructure Solutions. Our CoP leaders mentor and provide technical training (generally monthly) and platforms to ask questions and give advice on hazardous materials and wastes.

Jacobs drives innovation and technology advancement into our projects. We use Jacobs’ Omni, an innovative tracking tool, to capture real-time data for waste generation, tracking, inspection, and disposal. This application allows for evaluation opportunities on the trends and data to enhance staff and client knowledge on the entire waste management process from cradle-to-grave.

Over the past 12 years, Jacobs has completed 45 task orders valued at over $28.5 million supporting additional tasks on Multimedia Environmental Compliance contracts, including emerging contaminants (e.g., PFAS), emergency response actions, radiological, munitions, Environmental Condition of Property (ECP) assessments, NRC Decommissioning Plans, and many others. We recently completed an ECP assessment for soil contamination at Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base New Orleans for the Hero Land Acquisition project and are performing an assessment of installed aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) product supply and containment systems for Navy and Marine Corps installations nationwide.

Jacobs has supported the assessment and investigation of emerging contaminants for our customers for 25 years, including 1,4-dioxane and PFAS. We have been performing PFAS assessments for over a decade, including evaluating potential PFAS releases at over 300 facilities representing thousands of sites around the globe. Jacobs is also leading the industry with remediation solutions for PFAS, including validating and developing treatment technologies for PFAS-impacted water and soil.

For NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic, we investigated potential PFAS impacts from AFFF releases at 34 installations worldwide. We sampled on-base drinking water supplies and identified wells impacted with PFAS. At one installation, our investigation results led to the immediate implementation of a bottled water program for residents, and we evaluated long-term mitigation/treatment options for the impacted water supply wells and residential wells. We performed bench-scale testing to identify optimal carbon materials and designed full-scale treatment systems for both drinking water and wastewater.

Additionally, we are conducting PFAS site inspections at over 70 locations to determine potential impacts from releases in groundwater and soil for the US Army Corps of Engineers, Alaska District. We developed standard operating procedures (SOPs) for special sampling requirements for PFAS, such as eliminating PFAS-containing materials and environmental sources of contamination and avoiding glassware, since some PFAS sorb to glass. These SOPs avoid false positives and false negatives, which are particularly critical in monitoring PFAS at very low concentrations.

Jacobs implements the latest treatment technologies to treat and/or remediate PFAS, including granular-activated carbon, anion exchange resin, and reverse osmosis for treating contaminated groundwater or drinking water. We have performed bench-scale testing of several innovative technologies, including oxidation and flocculation. Jacobs performed bench and field trials of low temperature thermal desorption, which looks to be cost-competitive with landfill disposal, but permanently eliminates potential liability.

Jacobs also brings three decades of experience providing a full spectrum of services to investigate and restore munitions response sites under CERCLA and RCRA. We conducted a preliminary assessment and site inspection to evaluate the presence or absence of munitions constituents (MC) and munitions and explosives of concern (MEC) at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. We installed groundwater monitoring wells and sampled groundwater and surface and subsurface soil. We analyzed the samples for MC as well as other hazardous and toxic substances and used the collected data for human health and ecological screening evaluations.

Today, we help government and industry clients worldwide cost-effectively manage their environmental issues to protect and restore natural resources. Jacobs’ environmental services deliver sustainable solutions providing societal, environmental, and economic benefits. These services also include underwater munitions removal, GAC treatment, integrated waste solutions, sediment management and remediation, permitting, public health, PFAS/AFFF inspections, MR, and nuclear facility management and decontamination.
