RADON. Check EPA's Map of Radon Zones, to determine the
radon priority area. This is located on the EPA website, http://www.epa.gov/.
Also, check the results of the Navy radon survey conducted under the Navy
Radon Assessment and Mitigation Program (NAVRAMP) by contacting base
environmental personnel and the NAVFACENGCOM EFD or EFA Air Pollution
Engineer.
Mitigation. Provide passive sub-slab depressurization systems for
projects located in the Priority Area No. 1 and all areas identified by
NAVRAMP to have expected radon levels greater than 4 pCi/L.
The system should be changed to active if needed based on
follow-up testing.
Check EPA document Model Standards and Techniques for Control
of Radon in New Residential Buildings, Federal Register 59 FR
13402 dated 21 March 1994.

and groundwater contamination. Check with the Installation Environmental
Restoration Program and Underground Storage Tank Program managers. Also,
check previous uses of the site.

FORCE PROTECTION. The DOD objective is to eliminate
personnel exposure to security threats in occupied Bachelor Housing and
workspaces and limit property damage and minimize the likelihood of mass
casualties from terrorist attacks through cost effective security improvements.
DOD policy and guidance for antiterrorism and the physical security of facilities is
contained in UFC 4-010-01, DoD Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings;
DoD Instruction 2000.16, DoD Antiterrorism Standards; OPNAVINST 3300.55,
Navy Combating Terrorism Program Standards; OPNAVINST 5530.14C, Navy
Physical Security; and ; MCO 5530.14, Marine Corps Physical Security Program
Manual. These requirements are applicable for new construction, restoration,
and modernization of existing facilities.

Risk Analysis and Vulnerability Assessment. During the initial
planning process, the Installation Commander may conduct a risk analysis and
vulnerability assessment (RAVA) to establish a design basis threat for the facility
if there is a perceived threat greater than the design basis threat and / or requires
a higher level of protection, than the minimum standards established in UFC 4-
010-01. The RAVA examines the proposed project based upon the following
considerations:
Facility siting and location which provides a safe standoff distance
between the facility and the installation perimeter to mitigate
potential effects of explosive threats in accordance with the design
basis threat of the minimum antiterrorism standard or established
by the customer during the RAVA process.
