- 9. Water Net Zero: Pursuant to Executive Order 13514, Fort Bliss decreased its water consumption by 33% relative to the baseline, attributed mainly to the use of waterless urinals, low flow faucets / shower heads for new construction and renovations. Waste Net Zero: Fort Bliss is expanding and refining its recycling program in an effort to maximize the recycling potential from waste generated on post. In FY2010, Fort Bliss conducted a waste characterization study to analyze the post’s solid waste. It was found that recycle diversion was 19.7% in 2010, with the possibility to achieve 50% with increased targeting of specific categories of solid waste, such as plastics. 11/14/11 ROBERT LOPEZ III, Robert.Lopez14@us.army.mil, 915-568-7105 FORT BLISS NET ZERO WATER AND WASTE NET ZERO IMPLEMENTATION

Editor's Notes
- Net Zero What is it? The Army's goal is to manage our resources in a sustainable manner. Net Zero is a holistic approach to addressing energy, water, and waste. The Net Zero approach is comprised of five interrelated steps: reduction, re-purpose, recycling, energy recovery, and disposal. In April 2011, ASA (IE&E) introduced the pilot installations, this strategy included 6 net zero energy installations, 6 net zero water installations, and 6 net zero waste installations with 2 integrated net zero installation. These installations will work to achieve Net Zero by 2020 andbecome the centers of energy and environmental excellence, showcasing best practices and demonstrating effective resource management.
- -Net Zero Energy A Net Zero Energy Installation produces as much energy on site as it uses over the course of a year. To achieve this goal, installations must first implement aggressive conservation and efficiency efforts while benchmarking energy consumption to identify further opportunitiesRemaining energy needs are then reduced and can be met by renewable energy projects. -Net Zero Water A Net Zero Water installation limits the consumption of freshwater resources and returns water back to the same watershed so not to deplete the groundwater resources in quantity and quality over the course of a year. The Net Zero Water strategy balances water availability and use to ensure sustainable water supply for years to come. This concept is of increasing importance since scarcity of clean potable water is quickly becoming a serious issue in many countries around the world. -Net Zero Waste The approach to creating a Net Zero Waste Installation is similar to creating a Net Zero Energy Installation. A Net Zero Waste installation reduces, reuses, and recovers waste streams, converting them to resource values with zero solid waste to landfill over the course of a year.
- -Reduction includes maximizing energy efficiency in existing facilities, implementing water conservation practices, and eliminating generation of unnecessary waste. -Re-purpose involves diverting energy, water or waste to a secondary purpose with limited processes. -Recycling or composting involves management of the solid waste stream, development of closed loop systems to reclaim water, or cogeneration where two forms of energy (heat and electricity) are created from one source. -Energy recovery can occur from converting unusable waste to energy, renewable energy or geothermal water sources. -Disposal is the final step and last resort after the last drop of water, the last bit of thermal energy and all other waste mitigation strategies have been fully exercised.
- ENHANCED USE LEASE 1. Enter into long-term leases, providing greater flexibility for facility use and reuse. 2. Receive cash or in-kind consideration for income on leased property, which can be used for: • Alteration, repair, improvement of property or facilities. • Construction or acquisition of new facilities. • Payment of utility services. • Real Property Maintenance Services.
