Purpose of the Survey
In an effort to further develop, implement, and improve the SC3 program, EPA will be conducting an annual voluntary survey of the SC3 Partners to learn about their experiences and needs under the SC3 program. The survey is divided into three sections:
- General information on the partner
- Resources and services provided by the partner
- Partner successes, barriers, and future activities under SC3
Responses to the survey will enable EPA to evaluate and improve SC3, as well as share information about the program with others. Data gathered through the survey will not be used for modeling or statistical analysis.
