Background.

The Fort Stewart/Hunter Army Airfield Directorate of Public Works (DPW) Environmental Division is responsible for environmental and engineering activities for the Installation of FSGA and HAAF and operates three recycling processing facilities.

Complex environmental regulations such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), Clean Water Act (CWA), Clean Air Act (CAA), Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA), Solid Waste Disposal Act, Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), Natural Historic Preservation Act, and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) place an increasing burden on the Installation to monitor the potential ramifications of these regulations on FSGA/HAAF. Additional regulations include Department of Defense Instructions (DODIs), Executive Orders, Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan, and the Qualified Recycling Program (QRP) handbook. The FSGA/HAAF Environmental Division addresses the demands of ever-changing environmental regulations and assesses the Installation's compliance with such regulations. The Environmental Division has responsibility for the environmental program management of a 279,270-acre Fort Stewart Military Reservation in the lower coastal plain of Georgia and a 5,370-acre installation at Hunter Army Airfield near Savannah, Georgia.
