Sec. 650.8  Installation, State and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) relationships.

    (a) Federal installations are not required to comply with State or 
local administrative procedures with respect to pollution abatement and 
control. However, the majority of Federal environmental protection 
statutes contain provisions that require compliance with Federal, State, 
interstate and local substantive standards and limitations.
    (b) Permits required by Federal statute, notably the National 
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits, will be obtained 
from the Environmental Protection Agency in accordance with regulations 
promulgated pursuant to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act and the 
guidance contained in this regulation.
    (c) Compliance schedules required by State Implementation plan for 
air pollution control, reflecting the major increments of progress for 
projects designed to meet specified standards, will be negotiated with 
State regulatory authorities and coordinated with the Regional Office of 
EPA. When established, such compliance schedules are enforceable and may 
only be changed by renegotiation.
    (d) Performance reports as specified in this regulation on the 
operation of wastewater treatment facilities, sources of air pollutant 
emissions, oil spills and such other reports as may be directed by DAEN-
ZCE will be submitted to EPA regional authorities, as appropriate, who 
in turn will transmit appropriate information to State authorities. 
Requests for substantive reports not provided for by this regulation 
will be promptly referred to HQDA (DAEN-ZCE) Washington, DC 20310 for 
guidance.
    (e) Military authorities are to cooperate fully with EPA, State, 
regional and local authorities requesting access to Army installations 
for the purpose of inspecting pollution control facilities and 
activities.
