Abstract:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (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. The Citizen Stewardship Survey will be implemented as a multi-mode survey that includes phone, web, and mail components and will target approximately 5,200 residents living in 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 web-based survey. The Diversity Profile Survey and the Local Leadership Survey will be implemented by having the survey link distributed via email by partner organizations and through list-servs. The Diversity Profile Survey will be distributed to approximately 900 people while the Local Leadership Survey will be distributed to approximately 15,000 people. 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. The three surveys under this ICR each address one of the outcomes and contribute to EPA's Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) goals (EPA Goal 1, A Cleaner, Healthier Environment; Objective 1.2: Provide for Clean and Safe Water). 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. Combining the data for Stewardship goal outcomes from these surveys with the data for the other nine goals will provide the public with a comprehensive picture of the progress being made to preserve and protect the Chesapeake Bay.
