An Aspect is a characteristic of a Practice that can cause, in normal operation or upset mode, an impact to an environmental or other resource. Each Practice may have several Aspects. Typical Aspects of Practices operated on Navy installations include: spill/release, air release, hazardous material use, hazardous waste generation, solid waste generation, medical waste generation, noise, electricity use, fuel use, and physical presence (in environmentally sensitive locations).

Aspects can be added to the Aspects grid via the “New Aspect” button.
