March 2022 Monthly Metrics

NDEE produces a monthly metrics report to measure what the agency has accomplished; to set annual and longer-term goals; and to examine these goals against accomplishments to ensure continuous process improvements.

Time to Issue Livestock Construction and Operating Permits
Wastewater Permits (NPDES)
Construction Permitting Metrics
Permit Applications/Permits Issued
Agency Inspections by Month with Average Days to Complete Reports
Dollar and Energy Savings Loan Program
Combined DOE/LIHEAP/State Payments Weatherization Assistance Program

Accomplishments:

  • The Engineering section received a record number of projects to review in March. Despite being short two engineers, the program’s average days to issue permits only increased by 0.52 days from 14.01 in February to 14.53 in March.
  • Work on a new online tool for water professionals holding a NDEE credential was completed in March and will be announced in mid-April.  This online portal will allow users to manage their NDEE issued certifications and continuing education credits online and will replace NDEE’s paper process.
  • NDEE and DHHS activated the air quality advisory system to forecast smoke from annual prescribed fire in the Kansas Flint Hills. Since the activation in March, NDEE/DHHS have issued three smoke advisories (March 25, March 28-29, and April 4-5).


Miscellaneous:

  • NEMA Emergency Support Function 10 will work with the Nebraska Department of Agriculture after May to update the Catastrophic Animal Mortality Management Plan that was originally developed between 2003-2006. NDA has submitted a grant request for Tetra Tech to complete the update.
  • The Environmental Quality Council met on March 30 and approved amendments to Title 129 – Nebraska Air Quality Regulations. The EQC’s next meeting is tentatively scheduled for June 29.
