Abstract |
This National Water Program Guidance for FY 2005 describes how EPA, States, Tribes and others will work together in FY 2005 to protect and improve the quality of the Nation's waters. The steps outlined in the Guidance are designed to implement the general directions established in the new Environmental Protection Agency Strategic Plan for 2004 - 2008. Three key questions addressed in this Executive Summary are: what are we trying to accomplish in public health and environmental terms; what is our strategy for making the best use of program tools and other resources to accomplish public health and water quality improvements; and How will we evaluate our progress over time. |
