Environmental
Aspects
Background and Exhibits
In Module 1, you defined the scope of your facilitys
EMS, in Module 3, you drafted your facilitys 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 5s
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 facilitys 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 facilitys 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

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.

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 facilitys processes.
Module

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 customers 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.

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.
Identifying Environmental Aspects

If you have done a thorough job of diagramming
the inputs and outputs of all of the appropriate activities and processes at your facility, the next step is
easy. Transfer the information from each flow

diagram onto a separate environmental aspect identification form (such as the one provided with
Exhibit 5-5: Procedure for Environmental
Aspects, Objectives and Targets, and Programs
(EP-003) as Identification and Significance
Determination of Environmental Aspects and
Setting Objectives and Targets (Aspects Form)
(EF-003.01)) for each process or activity. 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.
Module

Plan Do Check/Act
Determining Significant
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 facilitys 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
5-5
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 facilitys 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
facilitys activities that you set aside last time. The
regular review can be part of a planned phasing in
process, wherein different parts of your facilitys
operations are reviewed until all your facilitys activities are included in your EMS. The regular review
of aspects is the foundation for your facilitys
continuing improvement.

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.
Module

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
Procedure for Determination of Significant Environmental Aspects (SEAs)

7.2.1
7.2.2
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 DEnvironmental Aspects/Impacts Ranking.)
Module

Plan Do Check/Act

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 [Facilitys
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 Maintainis 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.
Improveis 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 Investigateis 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.
Establishing and Maintaining Environmental Management Programs
