Welcome to The Environmental Management System Implementation Tool Kit

The Environmental Management System Implementation Tool Kit is intended for the use of the Department of the Army Installations seeking to implement an Environmental Management System (EMS) modeled after the international Environmental Management System Standard Specification (ISO 14001). Installations can implement an ISO 14001 EMS to meet the requirements of Executive Order 13148 "Greening of Government through Environmental Leadership."

The Step-by-Step guidance section uses a Motor Pool as a generic example, which users can customize to their specific organization. The Virtual Toolbox section also provides some examples of other DOD and commercial organizations' EMS manuals and/or documents.

The Fort Lewis EMS Manual section provides a completed example of an EMS manual and supporting documents based on the procedures and practices of Fort Lewis, Washington Directorate of Public Works. The Directorate of Public Works was certified to the ISO 14001 Standard in September, 2000.
