they will principally relate to zoning, roads and air quality.2-3. Army regulationsa. The Department of the Army’s (DA) program forcompliance with environmental protection standards ofFederal, State, interstate and local agencies isestablished by Army Regulations (AR) 200-1 and 200-2.AR 200-1, paragraph 1-1, "prescribes (DA) policy,responsibilities, and procedures to protect and preservethe quality of the environment." AR 200-2, paragraph 1-1,states (DA) policy and "establishes procedures for theintegration of environmental considerations into Armyplanning and decision-making in accordance with 42USC 4321 et. seq., the ’National Environmental PolicyAct of 1969’ (NEPA)."b. Management programs for both hazardousmaterials and hazardous wastes are described inchapters 5 and 6 of AR 200-1. Procedures to implementthe management programs are tied to the requirementsof the primary hazardous waste/hazardous materialregulations: NEPA, RCRA, The Clean Water Act, TheMarine Protection Research and Sanctuaries Act of1932, and the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976.AR 200-1, paragraph 6-3, increases the range ofregulatory compliance by emphasizing DA’s policy onsource2-2TM 5-814-7reduction, recovery and recycling.c. AR 200-2 describes procedures that the Armywill employ to comply with the requirements set out byNEPA. Specifically, paragraph 3-1 of the regulationrequires the DA to integrate NEPA’s "systematicexamination of the possible and probable environmentalconsequences of implementing a proposed action," anddevelopment of a written report Environmental ImpactStatement (EIS). Certain categories of actions areexempt from the above requirement; AR 200-2,paragraph 3-3, defines the categories and associatedrequirements (or exemptions). However, even if an EISis not required, an Environmental Assessment (EA) maybe needed (AR 200-2, para 5-1). Actions typicallyrequiring an EA include changes to establishedinstallation land use which may be expected to havesome impact on the environment, and generation ofhazardous or toxic materials (AR 200-2, para 5-3).d. AR 200-2, paragraph 3-5, states that theseenvironmental assessment documents "should beforwarded to the planners, designers, and/orimplementers so that recommendations and mitigations... may be carried out." Prior to the start up of anyconstruction work, the designer (through the installation)must ensure that required EA’s and EIS’s have beencompleted and project go-ahead has been finalized.CANCELLED
