Web-based “Green” Munitions Analytical Compliance System (G-MACS) Presented by Kevin Kennedy VP, Operations 706 Route 15 South, Suite 207 Lake Hopatcong, NJ (fax) Chemical Compliance Systems, Inc.
The Evolution of Environmentally Preferable Product Regulations 1986 Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) 1990 Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) 1993 Federal Compliance with Right-to-Know Laws & Pollution Prevention Requirements (E.O 12856) Federal Acquisition, Recycling, and Waste Prevention (E.O ) 1998 Greening the Government Through Waste Prevention, Recycling, and Federal Acquisition (E.O )
G-MACS Objectives and Scope of Work Objectives Develop a single tool that will cost effectively: 1. Accelerate development of “green” munitions 2. Provide a mechanism to clean-up munitions in production 3. Reduce future demilitarization costs Phase I Scope of Work Compile regulatory, health, and hazard assessment constraints for munitions chemicals Obtain approval for these “green” munitions criteria from a technical evaluation team Develop a prototype Phase II Scope of Work Implement a complete application on the Web
