Common use of Department of Defense Clause in Contracts

Department of Defense. The ▇▇▇▇▇ Act, 16 United States Code (U.S.C.) §§ 670a-670o, requires the Secretary of Defense to prepare and implement integrated natural resource management plans (INRMPs) for the conservation and rehabilitation of natural resources on military installations. These plans reflect agreement between the USFWS and the head of each appropriate state fish and wildlife agency concerning conservation, protection, and management of fish and wildlife resources. DoD may enter into cooperative agreements with states, local governments, nongovernmental organizations and individuals to provide for the maintenance and improvement of natural resources on, or to benefit natural and historic research on, DoD installations. An INRMP is a comprehensive plan used to manage installation natural resources by providing and ensuring the sustained use of a landscape necessary to support the military mission in accordance with accepted stewardship principles. It replaces the need for separate management plans for natural resources (for example, endangered species management, forest management, wetlands management, and fish and wildlife management). The INRMP describes how natural resources will be managed for military mission needs and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. It ensures that management of natural resources does not result in a “net loss” of mission training land and describes how ecosystems will be managed to create and maintain certain landscape characteristics needed to enhance military training opportunities. Department of Defense Instruction (▇▇▇▇) 4715.3, Environmental Conservation Program, provides guidance to the Services for the integrated management of natural resources on property under DoD control. It also states that natural resources under the stewardship and control of the DoD shall be managed to support and be consistent with the military mission, while protecting and enhancing those resources for multiple use, sustainable yield, and biological integrity. Additionally, Section 2684(a) of Title 10 U.S.C., known as the buffering authority, authorizes the Services to enter into partnerships with private conservation organizations or state and local governments to preserve land and prevent incompatible development around military installations.
