1. Developing An Army INRMP Template Todd Wills Training Support Division Army Environmental Center 13 April 05 211800R Mar2005Todd Wills / SFIM-AEC-TSR / 410.436.1592 (DSN) 436.1592 / todd.wills@us.army.mil1 of 26 Developing An Army INRMP Template

2. Why is an updated INRMP template needed? Passage of FY2004 NDAA Uniformity among all INRMPs for FWS review Improve upon the integration of INRMPs Improve upon quality of management plan portion of INRMPs Reflect who is responsible for different aspects of INRMPs Streamlined into smaller, useable, natural resources documents using lessons learned over last 5 years 211800R Mar2005Todd Wills / SFIM-AEC-TSR / 410.436.1592 (DSN) 436.1592 / todd.wills@us.army.mil2 of 26 Developing An Army INRMP Template

3. Army INRMP template goal Create a template that supports the Army’s readiness mission, meets compliance requirements, provides for sustainment and rehabilitation of natural resources, and provides a consistent review process for legislatively mandated cooperators. 211800R Mar2005Todd Wills / SFIM-AEC-TSR / 410.436.1592 (DSN) 436.1592 / todd.wills@us.army.mil3 of 26 Developing An Army INRMP Template

4. Where to start? Representatives from Installation Management Agency (IMA) HQ (Environmental and Reserve Directorates), IMA Regions, ANG, AMC, G3, AEC, and IMA installations met in 2004 to develop a template To assist in the process, and have consistency with other DoD Services, the Navy Draft INRMP Template was used as the Army draft template to build upon All agreed that what the Navy had put together was very good but it needed changes to better represent Army goals and unique requirements 211800R Mar2005Todd Wills / SFIM-AEC-TSR / 410.436.1592 (DSN) 436.1592 / todd.wills@us.army.mil4 of 26 Developing An Army INRMP Template

5. Where to start? (cont) Major shortcomings of current INRMP templates were identified INRMPs need to be streamlined into operational, useable, smaller, natural resources documents that support training 211800R Mar2005Todd Wills / SFIM-AEC-TSR / 410.436.1592 (DSN) 436.1592 / todd.wills@us.army.mil5 of 26 Developing An Army INRMP Template

6. Things to Consider Installations need the ability to be flexible in creation/revision of INRMP INRMP template that would allow INRMPs to be revised, when required, in the easiest and most cost effective way. Eliminate large amounts of data that need not be included in an INRMP body, and placement of ‘lists’ of data elsewhere Shed the concept that INRMPs are five year work plans 211800R Mar2005Todd Wills / SFIM-AEC-TSR / 410.436.1592 (DSN) 436.1592 / todd.wills@us.army.mil6 of 26 Developing An Army INRMP Template

7. Things to Consider To better provide for integration of an INRMP, it was determined that regardless of what template was created, it would be the responsibility of the installation/site to get all stakeholders together to integrate the plan When would an installation be required to conform to the new template? 211800R Mar2005Todd Wills / SFIM-AEC-TSR / 410.436.1592 (DSN) 436.1592 / todd.wills@us.army.mil7 of 26 Developing An Army INRMP Template
