JPG's environmental program is directed at:

• Ensuring compliance with all regulatory requirements.
• Implementing environmental cleanup and land reuse cost effectively and expeditiously.
• Protecting the installation's natural and cultural resources through related management programs.
  

The Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Cleanup Team (BCT) oversees this environmental restoration and compliance strategy and reviews plans and related progress on a biweekly basis.

Examples of fast track, innovative environmental initiatives include:

• Implementation of removal actions to eliminate "hot spots" of contamination.
• Involvement of the community in the environmental cleanup process.
• Use of state-of-the-art technologies to survey and remove unexploded ordnance of several hundred acres in the Cantonment Area.
• Execution of an innovative cooperative agreement with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect and manage natural resources in the Northern Firing Range Area.
• Preparation and implementation of a comprehensive cultural resource management plan, including protection of several key cultural resources.
