| Project Description |
RI DEM Office of Technical and Customer Assistance (OTCA) staff has been actively involved in the NEWMOA/State's Common Measures Project, and the States' ERP Consortium. The Common Measures Project supports state efforts to design and to use common measures of environmental performance in two sectors: small quantity generators and auto body. This will help to advance the use of valid statistical methods and measurement tools. It will also allow for the comparison of performance changes across states that result from the use of various environmental compliance assurance approaches, including Environmental Results Programs. The Common Measures workgroup involves staff from the NEWMOA-member states, EPA Region 1-New England, and NEWMOA.
The States' ERP Consortium was formed in 2006, to provide a means of networking, coordinating, developing policy, educating, and communicating with related environmental stakeholders in order to effectively use ERP tools at the state agency level. The group currently includes members from 16 states throughout the U.S., as well as EPA, ECOS, and NEWMOA staff. |
