A key resource to help states learn about ERP is the ERP States Produce Results – 2007 Report, which provides an up-to-date description of the program.  Once states are ready to implement ERP, the following resources provide helpful information:

• EPA’s ERP Roadmap is a hyperlinked set of documents that outlines six broad phases in ERP development. Within each phase of program development, there are several related steps, which often happen concurrently or iteratively. The Roadmap identifies the specific steps to take in each phase and proposes key questions for program managers to consider at each step in program development.  In addition, for each broad phase of program development, the Roadmap identifies internal and/or external stakeholders that can provide important feedback and support for the program. Finally, the ERP Roadmap provides links to resources and sample documents that can assist in program development.
  

• The Roadmap also contains a Resource Library.  This library is a compilation of ERP tools and materials prepared by states, EPA and third parties (last updated in November 2005). The resources are organized according to type of resource, including:

• ERP Development Materials
• Materials for ERP Certifiers
• Stakeholder Information Materials
• Data Management Materials
• Results and Evaluations
• State Innovation Grants Documents
