EPA Goal 4: Ensuring the Safety of Chemicals and Preventing Pollution

Federal Facility Pollution Prevention Planning Guide

Purpose
This document is designed to help Federal Facility environmental coordinators comply with the pollution prevention planning requirements of Section 3-302(d) of Executive Order 12856, which states that "the head of each Federal agency shall ensure that each of its covered facilities develops a written pollution prevention plan no later than the end of 1995, which sets forth the facility's contribution to the goal established in section 3-302(a) of this order. Federal agencies shall conduct assessments of their facilities as necessary to ensure development of such plans and of the facilities' pollution prevention programs." Specifically, the manual will support facilities in developing written pollution prevention plans that describe how facilities will contribute to meeting the Agency 50 percent reduction goals in the release of or the transport for disposal of toxic chemicals as identified under Section 3-302(a)) of Executive Order 12856. This document also provides guidance for Federal facility environmental coordinators to meet pollution prevention requirements and goals established in several other Executive Orders, Federal laws, State laws, and Federal agency policies. More importantly, this manual is intended to describe how you, the environmental coordinator, can strengthen the environmental program at your facility using pollution prevention approaches.
