closely, especially in forward tactical areas.
PART G - ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
You must pay close attention during refueling operations because of the potential for spills and fires. If you
take simple precautions you will prevent large pollution problems. During refueling you can protect the
environment by doing the following:
Compliance. Follow your unit SOP concerning the types and quantities of items you can store at a fuel
point.
Prevention. Reduce the amount of soil contaminated during refueling by being careful not to spill fuel.
Reuse rags and absorbent materials. Recycle used or contaminated petroleum, oil, and lubricant (POL)
products.
Conservation. Dispose of contaminated soil and absorbents according to the installation's policy and the
unit's SOP.
