Accomplishments & Priorities - Semiannual Report

January 2002 - June 2002

Introduction

This document reports significant accomplishments of each of the boards, departments and offices within the Cal/EPA family for the first six months of 2002. It also defines goals for the second half of 2002.

In this edition we include references to Cal/EPA's Strategic Vision to provide a
context as we set priorities in a time when tough decisions are required.

The purpose of this document is to ensure that all interested parties - legislators
and staff, environmental organizations, media, industry and other Californians- have
a clear picture of where we are and where we are going.

The Cal/EPA Semiannual Report of Accomplishments and Priorities is published shortly after the end of each six-month period. In that way, we account for our activities
and generate a dialogue regarding the direction Cal/EPA is taking.
