Corps of Engineers management

In this book we will eoneentrate on governmental regulations as they relate to hazardous waste or other hazardous materials, how to eomply with speeifie requirements, and other best management praetiees (BMPs). We will foeus on eommereial (federal/state OSHA), DOE, and the Army Corps of Engineers operations. In addition to these requirements there may be other regulatory standards that have requirements pertinent to hazardous materials. 

HAZWOPER sites are subject to the same rules and requirements as other operations. This holds true whether the site is being managed by private industry, DOE, or the Army Corps of Engineers. Identifying and implementing a project team in the early phases of the project to address health and safety issues will help to achieve seamless integration and to reduce duplication. 

Health and safety planning and implementation emphasize jobs and tasks. Many DOE or Army Corps of Engineers sites have an established work control system (WCS) that is focused at the job and task level. Workers are familiar with the WCS and understand its content because each work-task package includes checklists and permits. This is a normal part of daily work. The WCS is a practical vehicle for managing and conducting these activities and supports the HASP by providing a mechanism to accomplish the following ... 

The Department of Defense (DOD) Fuel Cell Demonstration Program is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It was begun in the mid-1990s to advance the use of PAFCs at DOD installations. Under this program, stationary fuel cells were installed at 30 facilities and locations in the Armed Services. The fuel cells are used for primary and backup power as well as heat.

The original concept came from an undergraduate paper turned in for a Water Resource Management class I taught at the University of Iowa in 1996. D ara Houdeks work for that course—a class otherwise primarily focused on big bureaucracies and economies (such as the Army Corps of Engineers and the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce)-focused on the water quality implications of her own lawn, and opened my eyes to a class of problems that would occupy me for the next decade. When I last heard, Dara was a master instructor at the Appalachian Mountain Club, far from her family s lawn. I owe her the debt of this idea.
