Compliance Through Pollution Prevention: Strategy and Implementation at Edwards AFB

Abstract

Edwards Air Force Base (AFB), located in the Mojave desert of southern California approximately 100 miles northeast of Los Angeles, is required to comply with the requirements of the California Environmental Protection Agency (CA-EPA) and the US Environmental Protection Agency (US-EPA) for air pollutant emissions, hazardous waste disposal, and toxic release inventory reporting (TRI). Specific CA-EPA agencies that Edwards AFB must deal with on a regular basis include California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC). In addition, Department of Defense (DoD), United States Air Force (USAF) and Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) instructions and directives impose additional requirements for air pollutant emission source management, hazardous waste management and pollution prevention.
