Sec. 989.31  Pollution prevention.

    The Pollution Prevention Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. 13101(b), 
established a national policy to prevent or reduce pollution at the 
source, whenever feasible. Pollution prevention approaches should be 
applied to all pollution-generating activities. The environmental 
document should analyze potential pollution that may result from the 
proposed action and alternatives and must discuss potential pollution 
prevention measures when such measures are feasible for incorporation 
into the proposal or alternatives. Where pollution

cannot be prevented, the environmental analysis and proposed mitigation 
measures should include, wherever possible, recycling, energy recovery, 
treatment, and environmentally safe disposal actions (see AFI 32-7080, 
Pollution Prevention Program \11\).
