PURPOSE AND SCOPE

The purpose of this Allied Joint Environmental Protection Publication (AJEPP) is to provide a framework document of best practices for the creation of an Environmental File for the military use of area. NATO activities may have significant environmental impacts. The Environmental File will incorporate all essential environmental protection (EP) documentation associated with the various stages of development of a NATO camp, infrastructure, or other relevant use of area. The Environmental File will serve as a historical record of the significant environmental documentation captured during the lifetime of a NATO use of area. The ability to incorporate the EP documents into one file will facilitate the handover process from an environmental perspective.
