This guide was developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s National Center for Environmental Innovation (now known as the Office of Strategic Environmental Management) and Office of Air and Radiation in partnership with the Environmental Council of the States (ECOS) to inform and support State and federal environmental agencies’ use of Lean. Ross & Associates Environmental Consulting, Ltd. prepared this Guide under subcontract to Industrial Economics, Inc. (EPA Contract # EP-D-04-006).
