Our strategic plan

Our strategic plan sets the vision and mission for the agency. We identify four goals in the plan that support our objectives, show how we make decisions, allocate resources, and do our work. Federal and state laws and rules direct what we do, and we also gather input from state and local governments, Tribes, communities, businesses, non-governmental organizations, and other interested parties.

Our core work is essential and supports our goals to protect the environment and public health. This involves our regulatory and permitting programs as well as grants, loans, and technical assistance. For more details on our core work, see our current budget and program overview publication.
