Justice
Management Division
Serving Justice - Securing Results
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is entrusted with
enforcing the law, providing federal leadership in preventing crime,
and ensuring public safety against threats. In line with this mission,
DOJ is committed to serving as an example in the area of environmental
stewardship and compliance with environmental legislation and Executive
Orders.
The Environmental Policy and Program Management staff
is a part of the Justice Management Division, Facilities and Administrative
Services Staff (FASS). The duties of this program are to provide
guidance for Department compliance on legislation, executive orders,
and other regulations. The staff also provides leadership and support
to DOJ components, develops and implements DOJ environmental policies,
and represents DOJ on interagency workgroups among other tasks.
In 1999, the DOJ Environmental Working Group (EWG)
was established to facilitate communication and consistency of
policies within the Department. EWG consists of environmental representatives
from each of the five main bureaus (FBI, USMS, ATF, DEA and BOP)
and is chaired by one member from FASS. The current focus of the
EWG is complying with Executive Order 13423, "Strengthening the
Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management," signed,
January 26, 2007. This group has helped the DOJ components create
and implement Environmental Management Systems, report progress
on Executive Orders and Federal policies, and disseminate pertinent
policy information among other accomplishments.
DOJ's Environmental Stewardship Council was established
in 2007 to set forth DOJ's policies and procedures for effectively
managing environmental programs while complementing the efforts
and systems that support the agency's mission. The primary functional
areas of responsibility that encompass environmental aspects include
budget, facilities, purchasing, information technology, environmental
management, security, and overall administration. The Council is
chaired by the Agency Environmental Executive, Mr. Lee Lofthus.
