Enhancing Readiness Through Environmental Quality Technology
Abstract
Readiness! The Army's ability to maintain a well-equipped, well-trained military is our number one priority. Environmental technology enhances readiness by preserving access to the air, land, and water necessary for training and testing. In addition, by maintaining a safe, healthful, and environmentally sound place to work, the Army maintains a high quality of life for the men and women who work and live on our military installations. Those men and women protect the national security. We, through our efforts, protect them. This is accomplished in many ways. Through environmental restoration more land is available for training and living, through pollution prevention the costs of managing our hazardous wastes are reduced so that more funds are available for training, through compliance facilities continue to be available to test and maintain our forces, and through conservation the lands used for training retain their realistic nature and provide better environments for solders and their families. But, accomplishing these things is also costly, time consuming and sometimes labor intensive. So, that is why there is a great need for new environmental technologies. Technologies that can make these accomplishments better, faster, cheaper, or safer.... for heavy metal soil contamination include
