Part of the study objectives include the development of methods to relate investment strategy results to measures of installation readiness reflecting contributions to Army environmental goals. The Army Environmental Center will provide 1994 baseline data for achieving the goal of 50 percent reduction of toxic chemicals by 1999, pursuant to Executive Order 12856. The Concepts Analysis Agency will automate the processes of data input to the PAPA methodology. The study, when completed, will develop and evaluate investment strategies, or families of procurements, which will support the Pollution Prevention Act, the Energy Policy Act, and Executive Orders 12856 and 12902. It will provide an analytical base appropriate for measuring the environmental component of installation readiness.
Technological innovation can make immense contributions to pollution prevention.
To enhance and accelerate Army pollution prevention efforts, the Army seeks out and evaluates new technologies which have the potential to prevent pollution from Army activities. One of these technology transfer programs is described below. Return to top of this document.
