SOUTHEAST REGION, INSTALLATION MANAGEMENT COMMAND SERO John Wuichet: IMCOM-SE, Finding NEMMO Solution “Finding New Emerging Military Market Opportunities,” Fall 2007 Provides mission-essential products Transforms waste into value Reduces transport impacts/costs Boosts local employment Concept exportable Problem Buying local is more sustainable, but local manufacturing jobs are down 20% since 1990 Six DoD facilities in southeast NC buy products, generate waste Industries in 22 counties can use our waste to make new products we, in turn, want to buy Solution

SOUTHEAST REGION, INSTALLATION MANAGEMENT COMMAND SERO John Wuichet: IMCOM-SE, Water System Sealant Problem 100+ miles of wastewater collection pipes at Ft Bragg Infiltration/inflow can increase wastewater costs by 1/3 rd Potential Solution In-situ composite system Made from feathers ½ the cost of pipe replacement Developing pilot study Solution

SOUTHEAST REGION, INSTALLATION MANAGEMENT COMMAND SERO John Wuichet: IMCOM-SE, Wood Waste Solution Ft Stewart foresters evaluating cantonment area and forest wood resources in combination, Product(s) can be used or sold as biomass/fuel Transforms waste into value Problem Ft Stewart landfills 220 tons/mo of C&D, pallets, storm debris Tons of timber harvest waste left to rot/burn on forest floor On-site wood fired steam plant uses wood chips from off-site Solution

SOUTHEAST REGION, INSTALLATION MANAGEMENT COMMAND SERO John Wuichet: IMCOM-SE, Furniture Life-Cycles Solution Sustainable Interiors Showcase (SIS) –Ft Lewis, Ft Jackson, Ft Benning Pilot study: –How to consider lifecycle costs at time of acquisition –Relative cost of LEED credits from furniture vs. other credits Problem Army 5-year furniture forecast: $2.3 billion Furniture disposal costs rising, but not considered at time of purchase LEED furniture credits may be the cheapest, but not considered Solution

SOUTHEAST REGION, INSTALLATION MANAGEMENT COMMAND SERO John Wuichet: IMCOM-SE, Mattress Life-Cycles Solutions Ft Bragg refurbishes, saving 50% Ft Jackson buys 100% foam units; maker takes back and recycles Ft Gordon donates, buys foam Redstone Arsenal recycles coil units for credit toward new foam Problem Landfills starting to ban mattresses (not profitable: high volume/low weight) Recycling options very limited Procurement alternatives few Solution

SOUTHEAST REGION, INSTALLATION MANAGEMENT COMMAND SERO John Wuichet: IMCOM-SE, Food Waste Management Solutions Zero Footprint Camp Donate edible surplus: AR –Ft Gordon Buy biobased cafeteriaware –DLA: UGRs now 50% biobased –Ft Campbell, Ft Benning Compost remainder –on-site or with community partner Problem About 12% of all solid waste is food For IMCOM-SE, that’s about 97,800 tons/yr Diverting food waste is difficult Food packaging in deployed units is a Force Protection risk Solution

SOUTHEAST REGION, INSTALLATION MANAGEMENT COMMAND SERO John Wuichet: IMCOM-SE, High-Performance Buildings Problem DoD FY08-13 construction budget: $13 billion/yr Services can’t afford O&M tail of conventional buildings High-performance concept poorly understood/documented Solutions ESTCP fire station at Ft Bragg - 25% less in O&M costs - 30% less energy cost - 75% less wastewater Beyond Army LEED Silver policy: - Ft Bragg Golden Knights - LEED Gold at no additional cost - Ft Campbell RCI pilot - Zero Energy Housing Solution
