Overseas Hazardous Waste Disposal, Management, and Contingency Operations (2000)

Overseas Hazardous Waste Disposal and Readiness Workshop

July 13-14, 2000, Fort Belvoir, VA

Held July 13 and 14, 2000, this day and a half workshop for DoD personnel provided an overview of the realities of DoD hazardous waste disposal overseas and readiness implications. After background updates on how the system works overseas, guest speakers discussed a variety of real situations encountered by DoD elements overseas, including successes and lessons learned. The role of the Basel Convention was examined in detail, with speakers representing the EPA, the Department of State and other organizations, to help understand how this international treaty affects DoD operations. Individuals with first-hand experience addressed the hazardous waste disposal in contingencies through all phases of deployment planning and operations. Breakout sessions gave participants an opportunity to join deliberations on meeting DoDโ€™s future challenges in HW disposal overseas.

A Joint South Africa – United States Environmental Security Working Group Project (July 2000). This guidebook lays out a step-by-step approach to creating a web site. First it identifies the requirements of a website, to include the provision and dissemination of information, technical considerations, and the type of skilled individuals that are necessary to form a website. Next it discusses the planning process which covers data infrastructure, a configuration management process and group, and selection of the development technology. It addresses development, which covers appearance, content, format, functionality, and prototype testing. Deployment is also discussed, which covers host server considerations, operational testing, and fielding the system. Last, this guidebook presents several key considerations relating to maintenance, including the implementation of back-up procedures, updates, and the establishment of a help desk
