Indiana Environmental Performance - Based Program
Achieving environmental quality objectives through voluntary
partnerships with Indiana sources.
![Page 16: IDEM Office of Pollution Prevention & Technical Assistance OPPTA Initiatives December 8, 2005 Daniel Murray Assistant Commissioner.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649da85503460f94a94fa6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Governor Daniels’ Environmental Policy
Increase income level for all Hoosiers from $0.88 on the dollar to an even $1.00 or more as a means to improve environmental quality.
An environmental performance-based partnership program will provide an avenue for participants to allocate additional resources towards continuous improvement activities, improving environmental quality and reducing costs.

Nationwide Initiative
EPA’s Innovation Action Council (IAC) and the Environmental Council of the States (ECOS) have both recently published reports (1/05 & 4/05) identifying environmental performance based programs as EPA’s #1 innovative initiative priority for FY ’06 with NEPT being their top program.
Indiana is an “untapped” market, only 8 of the 300 NEPT members are Indiana companies.

Goal of Program
Drive Continuous Improvement
• IDEM performance based program encourages businesses to allocate limited resources towards programs and projects that produce positive environmental results.
• Resources are made available by reducing time needed to manage certain environmental responsibilities.
• Those resources are then utilized in continual
improvement activities.
![Page 23: IDEM Office of Pollution Prevention & Technical Assistance OPPTA Initiatives December 8, 2005 Daniel Murray Assistant Commissioner.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649da85503460f94a94fa6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

“Win - Win - Win” SituationThrough reallocation of resources, entities continue to
improve, decreasing their impact on the environment and lowering costs.
Indiana communities and IDEM benefit by shifting resources to those companies that do not have such systems in place or are less proactive in managing their environmental responsibilities.
Indiana’s Environment, IDEM and Participating Entities All Gain From a Performance-Based Program
