This year?s Environmental Compliance Assessment and
Management Program visitis are set to begin Dec. 2 and
continue through Dec. 10. This year?s ECAMP is
external, which means staff from Headquarters, Air
Force Space Command, will perform the assessment. 

The ECAMP assessment serves as a snapshot in time for
evaluating the base?s environmental compliance
posture. 

There are no notices of violation. However, one of the
goals of the ECAMP assessment is to identify potential
violations so they can be corrected before becoming a
violation.

When team members visit a facility, they will be
looking for:
- Current training records
- Proper labeling on hazardous waste containers
- Proper recycling of office materials
- Compliance with air permits
- Accurate and current business plans
- Proper condition of above ground storage tanks
- Proper storage and bar coding of hazardous materials

Headquarters staff will look at all areas of
environmental compliance very closely. Each office
should conduct an ECAMP pre-assessment of their
facilities. 

The ECAMP U.S. Team Guide and checklists are available
through the 30th Civil Engineer Squadron Environmental
Management Flight to assist with pre-assessment
preparation.

Also, any open ECAMP findings from the previous
assessment, should be closed before Oct. 31. 
To obtain copies of previous ECAMP findings, team
guides and checklists, or to schedule a pre-assessment
visit by 30th CES environmental staff, call 606-6863.
