Worldwide Environmental Compliance Assessment and Management Program (ECAMP). United Kingdom Supplement

Abstract

Because of th growing number of environmental laws and regulations worldwide, the U.S. Air Force has adopted an environmental compliance program that includes a mechanism to identify compliance problems before they become notices of violation by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or create non- compliance issues in host countries. The objectives of the ECAMP are to: (1) Improve Air Force environmental management; (2) Build supporting financial programs and budgets for environmental requirements; (3) Assure Major Commands (MAJCOMS), installation commanders, environmental protection committees, environmental coordinators, and bioenvironmental engineers, that their environmental programs are effectively addressing environmental problems that could impact mission effectiveness, jeopardize the health or safety of Air Force personnel or the general public, significantly degrade the environment, and erode public confidence in the Air Force and the United States.
