Lake City Environmental Policy
LCAAP has defined an environmental policy in accordance with the requirements of the ISO-14001 standard. The LCAAP Environmental Policy was developed by Top Management under the direction of the ATK Environmental Management staff taking into consideration the nature, scope, and scale of the LCAAP environmental aspects. The Environmental Policy is endorsed by the Commander of LCAAP and the ATK Plant Manager. The main purpose of the Environmental Policy is to summarize the commitment of LCAAP management and personnel to the environmental system.
