Environmental assessments help determine compliance with current environmental regulations. The U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), and Corps of Engineers (Civil Works) have programs that identify compliance problems before they are cited as violations by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). Since 1984, the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratories (USACERL), in cooperation with Department of Defense (DOD) components, has developed environmental compliance assessment checklist manuals. The Environmental Assessment and Management (TEAM) Guide was developed for use by all DOD components. Currently, seven DOD components are participating: The Air Force, Air National Guard, USAEC, USARC, Army NGB, Civil Works, and the DLA. These agencies have agreed to share the development and maintenance of this guide. The Guide combines Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs) and management practices (MPs) into checklists that show legal requirements and the specific operations or items to review. The TEAM Guide is supplemented by DOD component-specific manuals detailing regulations and policies. The TEAM Guide is an update, revision, and replacement of the previous U.S. ECAMP, U.S. ERGO, U.S. ECAS, and DLA compliance assessment checklist manuals and will be continually updated with new compliance laws and regulations.
