Engage implementing entities so they understand the water quality milestones they are trying to achieve and understand and accept their roles and responsibilities in terms of planning, completing and reporting their activities. 3. Enable structured interagency decision making among the many agencies that must stay coordinated to reach the “Clarity Challenge� and eventually the clarity standard. Defining this process will help keep regulators, implementers and funders moving forward. 4. Establish TMDL implementation protocols that guide staff in consistently and fairly implementing the TMDL and Environmental Improvement Program (EIP). Consistency will drive engagement from implementers who depend on regulators for reasonable targets and approaches to reach them, and improve efficiency by clearly defining a predictable and coordinated process.
