Environmental Quality Technology
Abstract
This program element (PE) investigates and evaluates enabling tools and methodologies that support the long-term sustainment of Army training and testing activities. Project 048 improves the Army's ability to comply with requirements mandated by federal, state and local environmental/health laws and reducing the cost of this compliance. Project 835 develops enabling technologies to decontaminate or neutralize Army-unique hazardous and toxic wastes at sites containing waste ammunition, explosives, heavy metals, propellants, smokes, chemical munitions, and other organic contaminants, as well as technology to avoid the potential for future hazardous waste problems. Project 895 focuses on reducing hazardous waste generation through process modification and control, materials recycling and substitution as well as developing technologies to predict and mitigate range and maneuver constraints associated with current and emerging weapon systems, doctrine, and regulations. Project 896 investigates technologies for ecosystem vulnerability assessment, and ecosystem analysis, monitoring, modeling and mitigation to support sustainable use of Army facilities, lands and airspace to reduce or eliminate environmental constraints to military missions. The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering Science and Technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy and supports the Army Strategy for the Environment. Technologies developed in this PE are transitioned to PE 0603728A (Environmental Quality Technology Demonstrations). Work in this PE is performed by the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Vicksburg, MS, and the US Army Research, Development and Engineering Command, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD.
