  • 2014 TDEC Annual Report
    Citizens of Tennessee: October 2014 I am pleased to share the TDEC Annual Report for the 2013-14 fiscal year that reflects how the Department of Environment and Conservation is contributing to a better Tennessee. It provides a snapshot into how we invest our time, resources and priorities to achieve a variety of benefits for all Tennesseans, including a cleaner environment, healthier lives and a stronger economy. The Department of Environment and Conservation took specific steps as outlined in this report to deliver on Governor Haslam’s vision for Tennessee being the best run state government in the nation. We began by advancing the Governor’s belief that environmen- tal protection and economic growth are not mutually exclusive; it’s a false choice to say Tennessee can either grow its economy or protect its environment. It’s not one or the other – it’s both. With Gov. Haslam’s emphasis on Customer- Focused Government, TDEC is using the customer’s perspective to create a more customer-friendly, efficient agency. By streamlining processes and systems, increasing online capabilities, exploring innovative solutions, flattening management, reallocating resources to produce better outcomes and promot-ing a culture of accountability, we improved TDEC’s efficiency, effectiveness and TDEC leaders and Rep. Ryan Williams recognize Stormwater Qualifying Local Programs in Knoxville. customer service. While our strategies, goals and tactics aim to be agile and innovative, the department remains true to “who we are” and our mission. TDEC exists to enhance the quality of life for citizens of Tennessee and to be stewards of our natural environment by: • Protecting and improving the quality of Tennessee’s air, land, and water through a responsible regulatory system; • Protecting and promoting human health and safety; • Conserving and promoting natural, cultural and historic resources; and • Providing a variety of quality outdoor recreational experiences.
