Environmental Compliance Assessment Programs

Abstract

In 1989, the Secretary of Defense asserted that the Department of Defense should be "the federal leader", in agency environmental compliance and protection. The environmental compliance assessment program is a critical component of an agency's ongoing environmental management program. Environmental assessments are systematic and documented reviews of environmental operations and practices, which identify preventive actions that can be taken to avoid costly future cleanup. The overall objective of this audit was to determine the effectiveness of the DOD environmental compliance assessment program.
