Environmental Performance Partnership Agreement
The Environmental Performance Partnership Agreement (PPA) documents
contractual commitments between the Washington Department of Ecology
(Ecology) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Agreement
includes activities of the water, waste and air programs of Ecology and EPA
for a two-year period coinciding with the state biennial budget process.
The purpose of this Environmental Performance Partnership Agreement is
to:
- Establish mutual environmental goals, strategies, activities and
performance measurement for a state biennium.
- Maintain a core level of environmental protection for all of
Washington’s citizens.
- Measure environmental progress using indicators that are reflective of
environmental conditions, trends and results.
- Allocate Ecology and EPA Region 10 resources to the highest
environmental priorities of the state.
- Establish a joint work plan for administering the federal grant
dollars that EPA Region 10 provides to Ecology for air quality, water
quality and hazardous waste management.
