APGs represent a program’s major milestones toward accomplishing its
long-term goals. The following charts outline the program’s success in
meeting its APGs on time.

FY 2005

                        APG Title	                         Status       
                    Explanation

					         

Reach program cumulative total of 295 verifications and 90 percent
testing protocols for new environmental technologies to provide
performance information to purchasers and permitters of environmental
technologies through cost shared ETV program in which 25 pct funding is
from others outside EPA.

	

Not Met	

1 out of 2 of the program’s planned milestones in support of the APG
was not met on time, delaying completion of the APG.

Commercialize innovative environmental technologies needed by EPA
including Region IV and EPA Office of Solid Waste.

	

Met	

N/A

Commercialize innovative environmental SBIR Phase II technologies needed
by EPA for building decontamination water security.

	

Met	

N/A

FY 2006

                        APG Title	                  Met/ Not Met	       
Explanation   

Provide industry, academia, and regulators with cleaner chemistry and
technologies in the coatings, agriculture, foundry,
electronics/semiconductor and chemical sectors.

	

Met	

N/A

Provide evidence through vendor surveys that support positive influence
of ETV information on sales and/or innovation of environmental
technologies verified under ETV; 60 percent of respondents state that
ETV information supported sales and/or innovation.	

Not Met	

A request was made to delete this APG/APM in earlier submissions. The
contract to perform the surveys was cancelled, and due to budget cuts,
ETV no longer plans to develop the survey needed to assess the APM.

Survey of methods for combining methods from economics, ecology, and
hydrology in the management of watersheds under existing law so as to
restore ecosystems and reduce environmental risks.

	

Met	

N/A

Commercialize innovative environmental technologies needed by EPA Region
9 and 10 and EPA Office of Pesticides.

	

Met	

N/A

Demonstrate increased sales of innovative verified technology, air and
water pollutant reduction and potential environmental/public health
improvement as result of ETV technologies through completion of a case
study booklet and vendor survey report.

	

Met	

N/A

FY 2007

                        APG Title	                  Met/ Not Met	       
Explanation   

Demonstrate impacts of verification and verified technology use,
including air and water pollutant reduction and environmental/public
health improvements, through case studies and innovative technology
verification	Met

	  N/A

Initiate work on combining and using in sustainable environmental
systems methods and models from economics, ecology, hydrology, and land
use practices to effectively restore and manage watersheds and their
ecosystems so that EPA, state, and local governments can reduce
environmental risks.	Met	  N/A

Commercialize innovative Environmental Technologies needed by EPA
Regions and EPA Program Offices.	Met	  N/A

FY 2008

                        APG Title	                  Met/ Not Met	       
Explanation   

Promote and communicate risk-based design tools for industrial processes
that use pollution prevention as an organizing concept for minimizing
adverse impacts on the environment.

	Met	  N/A

Evaluate innovative methods that balance the cost of conducting a life
cycle assessment (LCA) with the utility of its results.

	Met	  N/A

Deliver for future use to at least one EPA Program Office or Region four
generic sustainable environmental systems methodologies for watershed
management respectively using market incentives, ecological food-web
models, hydrologic models and pest resistance management frameworks all
of them suitable
