TOBYHANNA ARMY DEPOT, PA. - Environmental experts are helping to keep Tobyhanna Army Depot one of the greenest industrial facilities in the Defense Department.
Tobyhanna has earned numerous awards for its environmental, natural resource conservation and hazardous material reduction program. Its green roof initiative has reduced heating and cooling costs while extending the life of the roofs on which vegetative roofs have been installed.
Employees in the Industrial Risk Management Directorate's Environmental Management Division assess the depot's impact to the environment and continuously seek process improvements to protect the environment. They manage all facets of environmental programs such as Clean Air, Clean Drinking Water, Pest Management, Solid Waste, Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know, Energy Conservation, and Hazardous Materials.
Staff members here also ensure Tobyhanna stays in compliance with federal, state, local, and Army regulations by performing inspections, writing procedures, and reviewing construction projects and equipment purchases.
