Environmental Quality

Provides, in partnership with other foundational disciplines, advanced technologies that enable DoD to comply with environmental regulations, prevent pollution from defense facilities and operations, restore soil and groundwater contaminated by past practices, protect air and water quality, conserve wetlands and ranges essential for critical readiness training, reduce costs of cleanup and disposal, and protect wildlife from noise. These technologies permit our warfighters to train and operate in any theater, at any time, with minimal environmental impact while complying with all local regulations.

TAXONOMY



ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT PROCESS



ENVIRONMENTAL PILLARS

• Pollution Prevention - Provide affordable environmentally benign "front of the pipe" source reduction and materials / processes substitution

• Conservation - Increase access for military operations on military lands, sea and airspace

• Compliance - Provide cost effective "end of pipe" treatment or disposal technologies to meet multi-media (air, water, soil) environmental regulations

• Cleanup - Reduce cost, expedite cleanup processes, and ensure the protection of human health and the environment
