Worskshop Overview
The purpose of the workshop was to advance efforts to restore and delist Great Lakes Areas of Concern (AOC) by facilitating the development of measurable restoration targets for beneficial use impairments in the AOCs. The workshop also informed Remedial Action Plan (RAP) participants about the role of restoration targets in documenting progress toward, and ultimately achieving, AOC delisting and identified tools for developing measurable goals for beneficial uses. The program was intended for local RAP participants, federal and state agency staff, and others involved in implementing and reporting on Great Lakes RAPs. The workshop was sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Great Lakes National Program Office and the Great Lakes Commission, with support from the International Joint Commission and the Michigan Statewide Public Advisory Council.
