WHAT WERE THE STRENGTHS OF THIS COURSE? WHAT DID YOU VALUE MOST?
 | Getting a standardized, state plan (C&T Plan) computerized template. This is great for getting everyone to a minimum standard and for getting plans approved. |
| The course was good, however the content/discussion was troublesome. We need to do the recommendations. We need to move forward, make the decisions, and do the implementation. |
| Great discussion! |
| This was a great opportunity for information interchange among states and EPA with regard to important C&T issues. This is a very good forum for this type of interchange of ideas and information. As usual, PREP has excelled! |
| Information exchange between regulators, new ideas that can be considered for my state agency. |
| Was a good course, but very taxing on the brain. |
| Allowed inputs from states in the planning process. |
| Networking and learning new ideas from other states. Handouts are useful as reference. |
| Very good discussions. |
| Small enough to have good discussions. Push to do something. |
| Allowed for active participation by everyone in attendance. Everyone’s opinions or recommendations were valued. |
| Interaction with/hearing about other states’ programs. |
HOW COULD THIS COURSE BE IMPROVED?
| Meeting room space limited for breakouts; not sure what purpose or end result was expected from last day of brainstorming. |
| Get all handouts in book; hard to follow where we were in discussions. |
| No improvements needed. |
| Provide participants with a list of ideas to brainstorm prior to meeting. |
| Better building with fewer distractions. |
| Last brainstorming sessions were not very beneficial. |
| Accommodations. |
| Better lighting during AV presentations; more organization for breakouts. |
| Great course! Just hope some of the things discussed can be put into effect. |
| It was too bad that one of the faculty dominated almost each and every discussion. Many of us had our hands raised to comment, yet were either interrupted or never heard from. It made me feel like her opinions (Ramsay’s) were more important than mine. |
| Good opportunity to discuss a variety of relevant issues, may have needed a bit more structure and focus at times; great hosts, as usual. |
| Less days, longer hours per day, more breakouts. |
| Non-vibrating room! Quieter hotel! |
HOW WILL YOU APPLY WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED?
| Rule changes future goals. |
| Take these discussions a step further and formulate plans for implementation. |
| Implement new ideas that are appropriate for my program. |
| Will continue to input, will use template. |
| Change C&T program. |
| Incorporate various concepts into state’s programs. |
| Security, ID, template. |
