Tennessee Pollution Prevention Partnership (TP3)
TP3 is a statewide network of households, schools, government agencies, organizations, businesses, and industries working together to prevent pollution. In 2003, DMAT achieved the Performer Level, which is the highest achievement level in TP3. DMAT achieved the performer level by maintaining good EPA compliance, ISO 14001 Certification, completing pollution prevention projects for air, water, waste and hazardous materials; and completing community environmental outreach projects. More information on DMAT's involvement in TP3 is available on the Internet at the following address: http://www.state.tn.us/environment/dca/tp3/tp3Denso.php
Community Environmental Activities DMAT is active in community environmental activities. DMAT teamed with the McMinn County Vocational Center to reuse excess wooden crates for student projects. One of the projects the students completed were blue bird boxes for the DMAT facility. 15 blue bird boxes were installed on the DMAT facility grounds and additional boxes were donated to local schools. DMAT has also assisted the local utility board with water treatment education programs for elementary school students.
