The company plans to hire another 350 people within the next three years. The members of the BCT work face to face, thereby reducing the need to shuttle reports back and forth. Developing a close working relationship among the members of the BCT is a key element of success at the installation. Without the effective interagency cooperation that was established by the BCT, the complex issues involved in preparing an installation the size of Tooele Army Depot for transfer could be difficult challenges to overcome. The BCT is able to achieve results quickly because its members operate in concert with one another.
Members meet to discuss issues and review plans, thereby expediting the review process.
Team members also inspect the property together and let their own observations guide the choice of sampling sites. Because team members are at the installation frequently, they are able to modify plans according to current conditions at the site. Moreover, because they are together, they can reach decisions about changes in cleanup plans efficiently. Teamwork facilitates virtually every aspect of the cleanup process. For example, team members meet to discuss and comment on reports and continue to meet until all the issues have been resolved.
