FY2000 - 2001 Great Lakes Priorities and Funding Guidance

USEPA CONTACTS FOR GREAT LAKES PRIORITIES

USEPA’s role in the Great Lakes is to steer the U.S. Great Lakes effort and to provide timely technical support and assistance, coordinating not only with U.S. partners, but also with Canadian counterparts. Our Great Lakes efforts are thus organized in a nested structure.

• USEPA's Great Lakes National Program Office (GLNPO) steers and coordinates activities at a Basin-wide level.

• Regional Teams and Programs steer and coordinate activities focusing on four of the five Great Lakes, their AOCs, and other targeted geographic areas. In Region 5, the Regional Teams serve leadership and coordinating roles. They influence funding decisions of USEPA media programs, such as Air, Water, and Waste, as well as National Initiatives, such as Brownfields. They can also help identify funding sources and priorities for LaMPs, RAPs, and other initiatives.

• Coordination and integration of State, Tribal, and Federal environmental programs is intended to be accomplished through Environmental Performance Partnership Agreements. Projects can also be developed outside of that structure.

Contacts for Programs and Teams who can best provide information about their Great Lakes priorities and funding opportunities are listed below. Since evaluations of the GLNPO Preproposals will take into account recommendations on specific needs and priorities of geographic areas within the Great Lakes, particularly those of LaMPs and RAPs, we especially encourage consultations.
