Abstract: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys EPA Chesapeake Bay Program the Program is interested in tracking its progress at attaining its goals under the 2014 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement the Agreement.
To do this, the Program plans to implement three surveys: The Citizen Stewardship Survey, the Diversity Profile Survey, and the Local Leadership Survey.
EPA has specified the target audience and the implementation approach for each to maximize the data that can be obtained. The Citizen Stewardship Survey will be implemented as a multimode survey that includes phone, web, and mail components of residents living the Chesapeake Bay area, stratified by jurisdiction states and the District of Columbia. The Diversity Profile Survey will be implemented among people who work on partnership efforts within the Bay area as a web-based survey. The Local Leadership Survey will be implemented among state and local elected officials involved in policy making in the Bay area also as a webbased survey.
The Program will be using the data from these three surveys to track it progress under the Stewardship goal of the 2014 Agreement. The Stewardship goal includes three outcomes: 1
Citizen Stewardship, 2 Local Leadership, and 3 Diversity. Three surveys under this ICR each address one of the outcomes and contributes to EPAs Government Performance and Results Act GPRA goals EPA Goal 1, A Cleaner, Healthier Environment;
Objective 1.2: Provide for Clean and Safe Water.
Each of the surveys under this ICR
were funded and implemented by other partners in the Chesapeake Bay area in prior years. The Program determined that the best approach for continued implementation of these surveys would be for the EPA assume the responsibility for implementing these surveys; thus, EPA is seeking approval for implementing these surveys under this ICR.
Collecting these data and publishing them for public review will allow the public to track how well the Agreement is working to preserve and protect the Chesapeake Bay region from the standpoint of the Stewardship goal outlined in the Agreement. Overall, the Agreement contains 10 goals and their associated outcomes; data for the other nine goals are collected through other means.
