Currently in Region 5, four of six States are involved in the Environmental Performance Partnership Agreement (EnPPA) process. The States are Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Ohio and Michigan continue to prepare individual program plans.EnPPAs are an innovation that provides greater discretion to states to identify and address critical environmental issues. The purpose of the Performance Partnership Agreement is to set forth the mutual understandings reached between the State and U.S. EPA. One of the principal mechanisms for building more effective State-EPA partnerships and improving environmental conditions is EPA's authority to award Performance Partnership Grants (PPGs). Under the PPG authority, States can now combine up to sixteen individual environmental program grants into a single PPG. (Note: Tribal agencies are also eligible to receive PPGs.)
