Seymour Johnson Air Force Base Charlton: Live from the scene on Seymour Johnson Air force Base, air force officials present the environmental award to the instillation with the best or most approved environmental quality award. Ashley: This award recognizes continued sustainment of the environmental compliance and outstanding environmental program quality. It recognizes the outstanding work accomplished every day by program managers. Charlton: According to Dean Chastain, 4th Civil Engineer Squadron Environmental element Chief, says that the key elements were leadership engagement and environmental consideration during the decision making process. Pollution prevention; recycling, environmental awareness, training and outreach programs; successfully clean-up of past contamination and a reduction in generated hazardous waste. In addition, the base personnel has a working relationship with off-base agencies and show a history of complying with environmental laws and regulations.
