Over the next five years, members of the Task Force core committee will reconvene annually to evaluate and report to the directors of MDA and MDEQ on the status of achieving the objectives and to strengthen those existing activities and programs that are effective and direct remaining and additional resources to promising new activities and programs. MDA and MDEQ will be responsible to document their individual charges and report back to the committee.

Evaluation of MDEQ/MDA’s agricultural pollution prevention activities and products provides an indirect measure of the effectiveness of certain agricultural pollution prevention activities in meeting the identified Strategy objectives. Possible examples of information to be evaluated include:

• Number of agricultural pollution prevention requests received.
• Number of case studies and fact sheets produced and reproduced annually.
• Number of conference or workshop attendees and conference content evaluation.
• Number of Agricultural Technical Assistance Program (AGRITAP) waste assessments and Farm*A*Systs performed.
• Number and magnitude of barriers to agricultural pollution prevention identified and successfully addressed.
• Number of stakeholders/industries participating in a defined, goal-directed agricultural pollution prevention program with reportable results.
