00:05.500 --> 00:07.667
The Missouri National Guard is finding

00:07.667 --> 00:09.778
new ways to protect the environment .

00:09.778 --> 00:11.944
The 11 07 Theater Aviation Sustainment

00:11.944 --> 00:14.167
Maintenance Group recently opened a new

00:14.167 --> 00:16.389
corrosion control center that boasts an

00:16.389 --> 00:18.444
environmentally friendly process for

00:18.444 --> 00:20.556
stripping paint from aircrafts . It's

00:20.556 --> 00:22.667
the first of its kind in the National

00:22.667 --> 00:22.450
Guard . We've partnered with other

00:22.450 --> 00:25.410
states Connecticut , we got with Dean

00:25.410 --> 00:27.632
Lamb uh , here in the state of Missouri

00:27.632 --> 00:29.854
and uh , they have come up with a water

00:29.854 --> 00:32.650
treatment system uh , that uh , doesn't ,

00:32.660 --> 00:34.800
doesn't produce any heavy metals into

00:34.800 --> 00:37.022
the downstream water . What we're doing

00:37.022 --> 00:40.180
is eliminating away stream , uh saving

00:40.180 --> 00:42.236
money because we're not paying for a

00:42.236 --> 00:44.402
hazardous waste stream , um , reducing

00:44.402 --> 00:46.624
the regulatory burden because we're not

00:46.624 --> 00:46.320
a large quantum generator , hazardous

00:46.320 --> 00:48.250
waste and also maintaining full

00:48.250 --> 00:50.306
compliance with both hazardous waste

00:50.306 --> 00:52.194
regulations , which were actually

00:52.194 --> 00:54.194
exempt here from Rika and complying

00:54.194 --> 00:56.417
with Clean Water Act regulations . Um ,

00:56.417 --> 00:59.060
in concert with the pre treatment are

00:59.060 --> 01:01.004
the pow , the local sanitary sewer

01:01.004 --> 01:03.227
system with the city Springfield . Even

01:03.227 --> 01:05.449
the abrasive material used to strip the

01:05.449 --> 01:07.671
aircraft is recycled . Once it's picked

01:07.671 --> 01:09.504
up at this facility , it goes to

01:09.504 --> 01:11.727
Greensboro north Carolina , I believe .

01:11.727 --> 01:13.860
Um , it's taken to north Carolina

01:13.860 --> 01:16.230
facility and it's actually turned into

01:16.240 --> 01:19.250
the blocks that you buy lows . The new

01:19.250 --> 01:21.306
pre treatment system helped Missouri

01:21.306 --> 01:23.361
when the Environmental Quality Award

01:23.361 --> 01:25.639
presented by the National Guard Bureau ,

01:25.639 --> 01:27.639
reporting for the Missouri National

01:27.639 --> 01:29.528
Guard Public Affairs Office . I'm

01:29.528 --> 01:29.250
