Through their continuing efforts to prevent pollution and protect individuals from hazardous
waste mishandling, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) awarded a
grant to the Florida Community College Consortium for Pollution Prevention Education to
develop a hazardous waste curriculum for the aviation maintenance industry. Coordinated by
Brevard Teaching and Research Laboratories (BTR Labs) of Brevard Community College, the
project employed the assistance of an advisory committee from several agencies and institutions
including the Consortium members, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA), COMNAVBASE Jacksonville, Broward Community College
and Embry Riddle Aeronautical University.
