The Indiana DU.S. EPArtment of Environmental Management (IDEM) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) Region 5 are entering into their fifth Environmental Performance Partnership Agreement (EnPPA). The biennial agreement identifies program specific priorities and mutual areas of interests between the two agencies. The purpose of this agreement is:

  1. To determine a specific list of program elements for primary focus.
  2. To develop a general plan of action for each element listed.
  3. To describe the roles and responsibilities of each agency in addressing each element.
  4. To set the term of this agreement from July 1, 2005, to June 30, 2007.

The EnPPA is a product of the National Environmental Performance Partnership System (NEPPS), a joint initiative of the U.S. EPA and Environmental Council of States (ECOS). The EnPPA, formed under NEPPS, is designed to provide states and U.S. EPA with flexibility in achieving environmental results and to enhance accountability in achieving environmental progress. The Performance Partnership Grant (PPG) is the federal grant used to fund many of the EnPPA activities.
