AWOP Impacts
Multi-State Pilot Programs
• State program benefits
• Impact individual plant performance
• Impact plant performance state-wide
AWOP Impacts
State Program Benefits
• Results in long-term improved performance and
enhanced public health protection
• Enhanced staff capability and motivation
• State and plant staff understand role in public
health protection
• Provides small systems tools for meeting or
exceeding compliance
• Develops human infrastructure to more
effectively implement new regulations (LT2,
DBPs)
