Great Lakes Interagency Task Force
The Great Lakes Interagency Task Force (IATF) brings together eleven U.S. Cabinet and federal Agency heads to coordinate restoration of the Great Lakes. Created by an Executive Order from President Bush on May 18, 2004, the IATF is to focus on environmental outcomes like cleaner water and sustainable fisheries, and target measurable results.
In addition, the President directed that EPA work with relevant states
and cities to convene a regional collaborative effort.
Former EPA Administrator Mike Leavitt
fulfilled this requirement by establishing the
Great Lakes Regional Collaboration
in December 2004.
