The Army Environmental Database - Environmental Quality (AEDB-EQ) system, commonly referred to as the EQ module, is the next evolution of the EQR application and is a module of the Army Environmental Database. Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA) uses the EQ module for ad hoc reporting of notices of violation as well as quarterly submission of metrics related to the army's compliance, conservation and pollution prevention programs. Key design factors include the creation of a Survey Builder for quick data collection response as well as a Data Call Builder to allow authorized users the ability to determine what is in a specific data call.

• Principal metrics for Congress
• Briefings for Army leaders to use when they visit installations
• Feeder for Installation Status Report
• Coming soon: Feeder for Strategic Readiness System
• Other reporting requirements the Headquarters of the Department of the Army (HQDA) must answer
• Federal Archeology Report to Congress
• Threatened & Endangered Species Report to Department of Interior
• DoD Pest Management Report
• A data resource to avoid continual ad-hoc data requests

• Enforcement Actions (ENFs) to be recorded within 48 hrs of receipt [DA Pam 200-1]
• Quarterly submission suspenses set by field headquarters (HQ) - early in each quarter - for
  • ENFs & inspections [every quarter]
  • Compliance permits, systems, and miscellaneous data [for previous half-calendar year ]
  • Hazardous waste air emissions quantities [annually in April]
  • Conservation metrics [annually in October]

• Each data call is submitted from installation to Region/Major Command (MACOM)
• Field Points of Contact (POCs) and program mangers review for completeness & accuracy
• Field Points of contact approve the submission to HQDA
• HQDA program managers provide comments back to field HQ
• Field HQs/installations respond with corrections/explanations
• Submission window closes; submitted data is locked

• Inspections: when and the media/statutes covered
• Enforcement actions/compliance indicators
  • What type it was
  • When, who, for what & why
  • Details and status on what the findings were
  • Details and status on the mitigation milestones
• Compliance permits, wastewater systems & miscellaneous (air and drinking water metrics)
• Hazardous waste air emissions quantities for previous calendar year (CY)
• End-of-FY updates to Conservation management plans, planning level surveys and inventories; threatened & endangered species data; wetland and forestry acreage; agricultural/grazing outlease & recreational access data; pesticide quantities and applicator certification

Relevant documents are kept in the EQ folder of the ODEP Sustainability files area on the AKO website. (valid AKO account required)

• There you will find
  • Guidance (definitions and instructions)
  • HQDA enforcement action policy memos
  • User Manual (detailed, step-by-step navigation)
  • Conservation Workbook (a "fill-in-the-blank" tool for getting updates from conservation managers)
  • E-mail link to the USAEC help desk

• Accounts are issued with the following roles
  • User can edit data, but not submit to HQ
  • User can edit and submit to HQ
  • User can approve data from a field HQ to a higher HQ
• Account requests go through the field HQ POC for approval, then to the USAEC Help Desk
• Requests should include name, phone, e-mail and postal addresses
• Also mention sub-installations, if any, that your garrison oversees
• It is against regulations to share account IDs & passwords, so DON'T DO IT!
