The report is part of the National Network for Environmental Management Studies under the auspices of the Office of Cooperative Environmental Management of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Coastal and growth management programs of five states - California, Florida, New Jersey, Oregon, and Wisconsin - were analyzed to determine effective ways of mitigating environmental consequences. Growth related problems include sewer and highway capacity problems, water quality degradation, reduction of physical and visual access, and loss of habitat. Successful programs commonly share the following characteristics: (1) Strong political leadership; (2) Public support and participation; (3) Coordination between local, state and federal government entities; (4) Policies or legislation to assure consistent enforcement; (5) Attention to housing needs; and (6) Financial support.
