Relationships are changing between states and the federal government, as well as between the regulators and facilities. Both agencies recognize the need to move forward by shifting the measurement of our success from traditional activity outputs to environmental results. The agreement provides the DNR greater discretion to identify and address important environmental issues, such as the deposition of atmospheric mercury, which cannot be handled by Wisconsin alone. This helps both agencies to conserve their resources and should enable them to achieve significant results. Both agencies anticipate that implementing this agreement will result in continuous improvement in their relationship, as well as in management of federal and state environmental programs.
Public involvement is critical to both agencies planning and priority-setting.
