During the past year, AEDC has had state inspections of air, drinking water and waste water, hazardous waste and solid waste programs-with no violations found in any area. Both the air quality and hazardous waste programs were cited as model programs by the state of Tennessee. Compliance is achieved through several proactive AEDC mechanisms. Program oversight at Air Force and contractor levels ensure effective program management-with a recognition that training is a key element to a successful program. Training in proper chemical use and storage, and familiarity with environmental issues relating to the workplace, help the compliance effort.
Compliance is enhanced by environmental awareness.
