To support the stakeholder dialogue on the future of the PPIS grant program, EPA analyzed how each state has used the PPIS grant funds since the inception of the program. Specifically, EPA reviewed which organizations in each state received PPIS funding, how each of these organizations worked with other pollution prevention programs in their state, and what activities they implemented with PPIS funds.

While states may receive other sources of pollution prevention funding, the scope of this analysis was to examine PPIS funding only. Thus, this report does not examine the entire pollution prevention program of each state.

Upon completing its analysis, EPA identified three general models that describe how PPIS funds were used to advance p2 service delivery in each state. These models include the following:

Centralized Service Delivery: In this model, states implement their PPIS grant projects primarily through one state agency, usually a state environmental or health department. While other state agencies or universities may receive additional PPIS grants, the vast majority of grants in this model flow directly to the primary state agency. This agency then delivers all pollution prevention services, whether they be technical assistance, outreach, infrastructure building, or regulatory integration.
Decentralized Service Delivery: In this model, two or more state agencies consistently receive PPIS funding and conduct a discrete set of activities. While one agency implements services such as outreach and technical assistance, the other agency focuses on another discrete set of services, such as regulatory integration.
Partnership Programs: In this model, the primary state agency partners with other state organizations to deliver pollution prevention services. While this agency may receive the majority of the PPIS funds, it combines its efforts with other service providers in the states for a comprehensive PPIS service delivery.
