Federal facilities are a highly visible sector of the regulated community.
Although improving, Federal facility compliance rates in all media have been traditionally lower than those of the private sector. Many Federal agencies currently use a multi-media approach in their internal auditing and compliance evaluations. Multi-media enforcement provides an opportunity for a holistic evaluation of a facility by identifying threats to the environment where pollutants cross through various media. Also, multi-media activities provide for a more in depth opportunity for identifying pollution prevention projects that can be implemented as Beneficial Environmental Projects at the facility or throughout similar Government Branches, Agencies, Departments, and even the private sector. The pollution prevention projects are designed to resolve identified violations or improve environmental areas of concern.
