EMS - Environmental Principles The following statements define the core principles identified in ANAD’s environmental policy:   Preservation of Resources – ANAD is committed to preventing pollution by minimizing material and energy use, reducing the generation of waste, utilizing renewable resources, promoting affirmative procurement, and optimizing efficiency. These strategies will be integrated into all planning, design, construction, production, operation and maintenance (O&M), purchasing and disposal activities.   Compliance – ANAD is committed to maintaining full compliance with all applicable Federal, state, local, DoD and Army laws, regulations and other requirements. Compliance programs will utilize environmental training, improved work practices, technological innovation, as well as monitoring and inspection programs. Responsibility for compliance with environmental and safety laws, regulations and requirements begins with each employee, requires supervisor involvement, and Command emphasis.   Continuous Improvement - ANAD is committed to continuously improving its environmental practices and performance through the implementation of an ISO 14001 based EMS into everyday business practices concerning the environment, health, safety, and ANAD’s missions. ANAD personnel will understand how properly managing these impacts will lead to sustainable and successful depot operations.   Conservation of Natural and Cultural Resources – ANAD will conserve, restore and manage watersheds, wetlands, natural landscapes, soils, forests, fish and wildlife, aquifer recharge areas, and other cultural and natural resources as vital ANAD assets. The depot will also minimize overall environmental impacts to on-site and off-site natural resources from construction, O&M, and all other mission-related activities.   Installation Restoration – Restoration of the natural environment and its resources is a top priority. All applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements of Federal and state environmental laws will be considered in establishing goals and in selecting and implementing the best methods for restoration.
