Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To protect the Great Lakes and to address common water quality problems, the United States and Canada entered into the bilateral Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement in 1972. The agreement has been amended several times, most recently in 1987. That year, the two countries agreed to cooperate with state and provincial governments to develop and implement remedial action plans (RAPs) for designated areas in the Great Lakes Basin--areas contaminated, for example, by toxic substances. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) leads the effort to meet the goals of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, which include RAP development and implementation. As of April 2002, all of the 26 contaminated areas in the Great Lakes Basin that the United States is responsible for have completed the first stage of the RAP process; however, only half have completed the second stage. Even though EPA has been charged with leading the effort to meet the goals of the agreement, it has not clearly delineated responsibility for oversight of RAPs within the agency, and, citing resource constraints and the need to tend to other Great Lakes priorities, reduced its staff and the amount of funding allocated to states for the purpose of RAP development and implementation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO examined the progress of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Great Lakes National Program Office in: (1) defining its role within EPA and involving other EPA offices in implementing a U.S.-Canada agreement about Great Lakes water quality; and (2) coordinating other federal agencies' efforts. GAO found that the Program Office: (1) expanded its contacts with EPA regional offices and increased its funding for regional projects; (2) worked with the EPA Office of Marine and Estuarine Protection and individual estuary programs to help develop policies and activities affecting the Great Lakes; (3) entered into agreements with the EPA Office of Research and Development to fund a variety of research projects on the Great Lakes; (4) improved its coordination of and cooperation with other federal agencies, resulting in progress in meeting many of the water quality agreement's provisions, although some difficult agreement annexes have been delayed; (5) cited resource limitations, state and local government responsibilities, and EPA regional office responsibilities for its limited role in helping in the development of remedial action plans and lakewide management plans; (6) established the U.S. Policy Committee in 1989 to improve coordination and cooperation among federal and state agencies and environmental groups in implementing the agreement; and (7) projected the Great Lakes' water quality problems would require massive research, cleanup efforts, and financial investments.
