What are the benefits to participants of Tier 2 over Tier 1? Is the public aware of the differences?
Tier II participants negotiate contracts with the DNR staff stating their specific strategy for achieving superior environmental performance, their commitment to implement that strategy, and the incentives they expect to receive from the department. These incentives may be more valuable than those offered only in Tier I because they can directly reduce costs associated with regulation and improve participants positions relative to their competitors. These contracts also foster greater efficiency in the department by reducing the time and resources spent on regulation.
