Environmental Technologies.


Proposals to develop technologies and methodologies to reduce environmental impacts from current and past Navy operations are invited by the Naval Facilities Engineering The term "facilities engineering" evolved from "plant engineering" in the early 1990s as U.S. workplaces became more complex. Practitioners preferred this term because it more accurately reflected the multidisciplinary demands for specialized conditions in a wider variety of indoor  Service Center (NFESC NFESC Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center ). The NFESC is interested in technologies and methodologies that are new, innovative, or that advance the state of the art or increase knowledge of a technology or methodology.

The technology or methodology should address one of the following topic areas: 1) environmental assessment, restoration, and cleanup--services to assess or remediate existing pollution generated by military operations This is a list of missions, operations, and projects. Missions in support of other missions are not listed independently. World War I
