Abstract
AbstractThe authors describe how effective partnering among Department of Defense (DOD) representatives, state and tribal agencies, and stakeholders from environmental advocacy groups and the public at large can improve DOD policies and standards, and simultaneously further environmental protection goals. The process of shaping the Department of Defense Explosives Safety Board (DDESB) standards and the DOD's Final Munitions Rule Implementation Policy serves as a case study for the benefits of mutual openness, knowledge, and trust among regulators, the regulated community, and other interested parties. For DOD, this approach also reflects a continuing trend away from the old culture of closed doors and sovereign immunity carve‐outs to a new era of open dialogue and improved environmental stewardship.
