CLEANUP<br />

COMPLIANCE<br />

POLLUTION PREVENTION<br />

CONSERVATION<br />

P2&ETD technology development and transfer programs enable the <strong>Army</strong> to<br />

test and implement cost-effective technologies in cleanup, compliance, pollution<br />

prevention and conservation.<br />

Many <strong>Army</strong> sites hold remnants from past training, testing and industrial<br />

operations. P2&ETD supports <strong>Army</strong> efforts to clean up these areas by<br />

providing cost-effective technologies to remove pollutants from soil,<br />

surface water and groundwater.<br />

<strong>Army</strong> installations must comply with laws and regulations governing<br />

wastewater discharge, noise abatement, air quality, and management of<br />

solid and hazardous waste. P2&ETD initiatives help the <strong>Army</strong> stay ready<br />

to meet constant changes in environmental laws.<br />

P2&ETD demonstrates and transfers cost-effective industrial process<br />

changes and technologies designed to help installations prevent pollution,<br />

use fewer hazardous materials and generate less hazardous waste.<br />

The <strong>Army</strong> manages 12 million public acres, which include a variety of natural<br />

and cultural resources. P2&ETD supports <strong>Army</strong> efforts to protect these<br />

irreplaceable resources while providing realistic backdrops for military training.
