Eglin's Air Quality Compliance Assistance Team - A Total Quality Approach to Environmental Compliance at a Federal Facility

摘要

The 96 CEG/CEVC, Environmental Management Compliance Branch at Eglin AFB, has developed a proactive approach for ensuring air quality compliance. Eglin has assembled an assertive team of air quality experts to promote compliance with federal, state, and local air quality regulations. The Air Quality Compliance Assistance (AQCA) team functions as a liaison between environmental management and facility personnel engaging in regulated activities. Continuity books, Unit Environmental Coordinator (UEC) commitment and training, quarterly site visits, and job-specific air quality training for all personnel are some of the mechanisms used by the team in this total quality approach toward environmental compliance. The main intentions of the assistance team are to lessen the burden at the shop level for demonstrating compliance and to establish a rapport with those individuals through assistance and training.
