Army Environmental Reporting improves readiness by helping provide and ensure continued access to quality training lands and facilities with minimal restrictions on operations. A reporting system is needed that provides an Army-wide solution for accurate, reliable, and timely environmental information. The software must comply with environmental liability reporting requirements, monitoring and reporting on the performance of the Army Environmental Program (AEP), and conducting program analysis to optimize environmental cleanup and environmental quality activities.
WEBCASS-E is the official environmental database of record for all media areas to improve transparency and provide easy access to information for everyone. Historically, environment, safety, and occupational health (ESOH) processes were paper-based, labor intensive, and heavily dependent on manual and repetitive data inputs from multiple communities. The purpose of this platform is to consolidate the entire environmental portfolio into one system to help prioritize resources and create data management efficiencies Army-wide. Consolidating all environmental information into one enterprise allows the Army to see ourselves better, gain efficiencies by shutting down redundant outdated systems, and understand environmental priorities.
WEBCASS-E incorporates an enhanced, intuitive user interface hosted in a cloud environment, it will improve data management efforts and lead to better data integrity and more robust reporting. The portal includes modules for Cleanup Restoration and Liabilities, Natural Resources Revenue Tracking, Environmental Document Repository, Environmental Quality Universal Information Portal, Hazardous Material Inventory and Disposal, Integrated Pesticide Management, Regulatory Enforcement Action Compliance Tracking, Evaluation and Assessment of Regulatory and Legislative Impacts, Environmental Source to Track, Analyze and Review Requirements, and an Analytics module for self-service and enterprise business intelligence. It provides the capability to create and view rich, interactive data visualizations from data within the WEBCASS-E modules to share important business insights. It bridges the gap between the data and decisions to drive success. Data can be accessed across dashboards and reports, shared, and exported to other formats such as Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF.
