P2 in Region 8 Department of Defense
Military pollution prevention programs are extensive and focus on a variety
of objectives, with the goal of replicating current successes by incorporating
efforts to limit or eliminate future environmental problems into all management
decisions. This section offers information on DoD activities in Region 8 with
resources from the Colorado/DoD P2 Network (a group of P2 representatives from
DoD installations, local industry, EPA Region 8, and the CDPHE P2 Program) including:
- After-Action Reports from Colorado Interagency Environmental Network
Meetings in 1999-2000 covering discussions and cooperative activities of the
Network and regarding environmental issues of common interest (DoD
Minutes).
- A Pollution Prevention Success Story Compendium (pdf format) developed
by the Network as a vehicle for cross-feeding successful P2 case studies,
initiatives and approaches implemented at federal facilities in Colorado.
It provides key facts and information about the scope and applicability of
various programs, allowing managers to assess implementation possibilities
at their facilities (Success Stories).
- A Final Report on the Vehicle Maintenance Staff Assistance Visit
(pdf format) conducted at the request of the Network that details findings
and recommendations from the SAV team that performed walk-through P2 opportunity
assessments for vehicle maintenance facilities at three Colorado DoD installations
(Vehicle Maintenance).
- P2 Resources from the Department of Defense, including on-line sources
for P2 information produced by DoD agencies (Resources).

pollution prevention technologies, management practices, and process
changes that reduce the amount of hazardous waste and solid waste
being generated at joint service industrial facilities.
- P2 Equipment Program (PPEP) Book: identifies commercially
available pollution prevention equipment that is being evaluated or
purchased by the Navy.
- Environmental Products Catalog: suggests nonhazardous or
less hazardous alternatives to previously used products or processes.
