Bechtel Jacobs Company LLC (BJC) is committed to incorporating sound environmental management, protection, and sustainability practices in all its work processes and activities that are part of the Environmental Management Closure Contract (EMCC) in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. BJC’s Environmental Policy states that “it is inherent in our mission to complete environmental cleanup safely with reduced risks to the public, workers, and the environment.” In order to achieve this, BJC Environmental Policy adheres to the following principles:

• Management Commitment – Integrate responsible environmental practices into project operations.
• Environmental Compliance and Protection – Comply with all environmental regulations and standards.
• Sustainable Environmental Stewardship – Minimize the effects of our operations on the environment through a combination of source reduction, recycling, and reuse; sound waste management practices; and pollution prevention.
• Partnership/Stakeholder Involvement – Maintain partnerships through effective two-way communications with our customer and other stakeholders.

These environmental principles are implemented through BJC’s Environmental Management System (EMS) that is part of its existing Integrated Safety Management System (ISMS) established pursuant to DOE P 450.4, Safety Management System Policy. Using a graded approach appropriate for the EMCC, the EMS incorporates these environmental principles and provides a unified strategy for the management, conservation and protection of natural resources, the control and attenuation of risks, and the establishment and attainment of all Environmental, Safety and Health goals. BJC works continuously to improve our EMS in order to reduce the impact from our environmental aspects, see table below, and to communicate and reinforce this policy to our internal and external stakeholders.
