The EPA and its federal partners received more than 3,500 suggestions from the public on priorities for Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Action Plan IV through five public engagement sessions across the Great Lakes basin and two virtual engagement sessions. The EPA also consulted with the Great Lakes states and Tribes throughout the plan’s development. Together with our federal partners, EPA considered this input as we drafted the new plan for 2025-2029.
