Liability reduction and clean air compliance at air combat command

Abstract

The Clean Air Act requires much action by Air Force bases to comply with its many and varied parts. This article discusses the alternatives used at Air Combat Command Air Force bases to avoid the more onerous requirements of the latest air regulations and reduce the probability of inspection and enforcement by regulators. These methods include pollution prevention initiatives, revision of air emissions inventories to incorporate more recent guidance and remove inaccuracies, modification of permits and permit applications to include limits and the cost avoidance and other associated benefits.
