Abstract: The Environmental Protection Agency, in partnership with States, in conducting the State Water Quality Management Gap Analysis (Gap Analysis) to help enumerate current and future needs and to help identify innovative strategies for reducing resource gaps. To gather preliminary information in a short time frame, the Gap Analysis was originally divided into two phases. Phase I consisted of developing an initial, national estimate of the resource gap faced by water quality management programs to provide a general idea of the magnitude of the resource gap faced by States.
