Achieving Environmental Excellence Through The South Carolina/Department of Defense Pollution Prevention Alliance

Abstract

The South Carolina Environmental Excellence program and the South Carolina/Department of Defense Pollution Prevention Alliance represent a unique blending of two separate, but complementary programs. Administered by the Center for Environmental Policy at the University of South Carolina's Institute of Public Affairs1 these programs share the goal of achieving environmental excellence through pollution prevention and resource conservation. The Environmental Excellence program is designed to reward and recognize entities that have voluntarily moved beyond regulatory compliance using pollution prevention, waste reduction, and resource conservation strategies. The Alliance is facilitating efforts by the state's military bases to attain formal recognition for their achievements through the Environmental Excellence program. This paper presents an overview of the Environmental Excellence program and the Alliance. It describes how the Environmental Excellence program is being used to further the goals of the Alliance.
