6. State Water Controls (sic)
Dials
• Strategic planning
• Permit reissuance schedule
• Permit complexity
• Training and development
• Research and fact finding
• LEADERSHIP
Switches
• Target guidelines
• Roles of RB vs SB
• Budget (personnel)
• Budget (contract)
• Policies (and policies)
• MANAGEMENT

7. Observations
• Regional priorities differ – RB 3 prioritizes municipal
over industrial and construction
• Targets and resource relationships not well aligned or
consistent
• Audits are large beans (perhaps not worth counting)
• Most RBs are on track to meet or exceed targets by end
of FY 12/13
• Some will exceed targets by ridiculous amounts –
better target discussion needed
• Resources for “compliance assessment” represent
small portion of overall work done statewide

8. Steps Being Taken Now (Dials)
• Storm Water RT meets and discusses
performance measures and targets regularly
• Subgroup of program managers has met for >1 yr
to develop a strategy to overhaul and improve
program – “Overhaul Team”
• Overhaul Team is following example of RB3
priority setting exercise and will align resources
to work towards better watershed regulatory
framework
• This includes discussion of measurement/target
choice and setting processes (planning)

9. What is Needed from Executive
Management
• Support for Overhaul Team to develop and
present draft strategy to EXEC
• Support for program development (training, APM
chapters, statewide teams for permit and policy
work, etc.)
• Support for how resource allocation should align
better with targets at RBs (e.g., target/PY
“floors”)
• Direction on setting SB measures and targets
(hold us accountable)
• More program accountability

10. Key SB Program Tasks FY 12/13
• Reissue statewide permit(s)
• Develop program strategy (incl. monitoring)
• Explore target setting guidelines using cost
factors and PYs (floor and ceiling)
• Advocate for resource shift (either real or
virtual) to SB to support more statewide
efforts and serve as “inspection backup”
• Work with PG Env. to do a “tech transfer” on
inspections and audits
