ASNE Symposium Outlines

The Maritime Industry's Role

The American Society of Naval

Engineers' (ASNE) Fall 1992 Mari- time Environmental Symposium, dubbed "Naval Engineering and the

Environment: Strategy for the 1990's," will explore environmental challenges facing the world and how the maritime community should ad- dress them.

The two-day symposium, sched- uled for October 15-16 atthe McLean

Hilton in Tyson's Corner, Va., is ex- pected to attract more than 400 pro- fessionals representing various agencies in the Federal Government, environmental organizations and maritime industries, said an ASNE spokesperson.

More than 20 technical papers and presentations are scheduled to be delivered and discussed by na- tional and international experts.

Included along with the symposium will be a small number of exhibition booths.

Delivering the keynote address will be Jacqueline E. Schafer, As- sistant Secretary of the Navy for

Installations and Environment.

Day one of the symposium, Thurs- day, October 15, opens witb a wel- come from ASNE president Jerome

Fee at 8:30 a.m. Ms. Schafer's key- note address follows. Two concur- rent technical sessions start at 9:45 a.m.

Session 1A, "Information Manage- ment/Planning," will include infor- mation on the new oil response re- source inventory system and envi- ronmental training and education.

Session IB, "Hazardous Material

Control/Pollution Prevention-Ship- board," will cover hazardous mate- rial control and source reduction under the PRIME program. Follow- ing these sessions, and subsequent sessions throughout the two-day event, is a 45-minute open forum with a discussion period.

Morning lectures on Thursday are to be followed by an hour lunch, an hour for visiting exhibits, and an hour plenary session on oil spill clean-up research. At 3 p.m. techni- cal session two, again split into two sections, begins.

Session 2 A, "Oceanography/Atmo- spheric Environmental Issues," will include information on naval engi- neering and climate change, surface discharge light and acoustic sources and an international dispersant us- age summary. Session 2B, "Techni- cal/Processes," features bi-volume freon distillation, hi-volume low pressure painting, and copper slag/ steel grit blast recycling.

A banquet that evening, featur- ing ViceAdm. StanleyArthur,USN vice chief of naval operations, will run from 7 to 10 p.m.

Technical session three starts at 8:30 a.m. on Friday, October 16. Both technical session three and four fea- ture three concurrent sessions. Ses- sion 3A covers solid and hazardous waste management; 3B covers weap- ons systems/ordnance, including the

Navy's munitions disposal program; and 3C covers defining and execut- ing environmental compliance, and the benefits of proactive compliance.

Following this is a plenary session on new environmental laws and regulations, and their impact, pre- sented by James Edward.

Technical session four, the symposium's final one, starts at 1:30 p.m. Session 4A, "Hazardous Mate- rial Control/Pollution Prevention-

Ashore," offers a look at a methodol- ogy for review and revision of mili- tary specifications. Session 4B, "TQL/TQM," offers TQM principles and concepts to hazardous material management and control. Session 4C, "Waste Water," covers develop- ment of a novel shipboard waste- water treatment system.

The symposium closes with a roundtable on critical issues facing the maritime industry and commu- nity.

Registration is $175 for ASNE members, $235 for non-members.
