Introduction and Purpose

The National Environmental Performance Partnership System is a framework designed to achieve better environmental results by focusing the capacities and resources of the Environmental Protection Agency and States to address the most pressing environmental problems jointly. Common goals, priorities, and strategies are based on information about environmental conditions, and progress is evaluated based on results actually achieved in the environment. Performance Partnership Agreements (PPA) are intended to strengthen protection of the environment by focusing attention on the overall environmental protection goals and the actual results of efforts to achieve them, not on government programs and the number of actions they take.

This State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2008 PPA describes the overlapping missions of DEC and EPA for protecting Alaska’s environment. The agreement captures how each agency will work together to establish joint priorities and performance expectations to address Alaska’s most important environmental and public health protection issues.

The purpose of the agreement is to establish mutual priorities and performance expectations for both agencies during SFY 2008.
This agreement includes specific commitments made by each agency regarding Alaska’s most important environmental priorities for the period July 1, 2007 – June 30, 2008.

What is a Performance Partnership Agreement (PPA)?


Since 1995, EPA and states have been creating working under a performance-based system of environmental protection designed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of state-EPA partnerships. By focusing EPA and state resources on the most pressing environmental problems and taking advantage of the unique capacities of each partner, performance partnerships can help achieve the greatest environmental and human health protection.
