Intergovernmental Review Process

STW is authorized by EPA’s 40 CFR Part 29 and Executive Order 12372 to conduct intergovernmental reviews for several types of Federally funded projects. 

The intergovernmental review (IGOR) process is a federally established standard for review of projects seeking federal funding. The regional planning board is authorized to evaluate the intergovernmental review package for conflicts of interest and duplication of services/funding, and to evaluate whether the proposed project budget is reasonable.
​
Intergovernmental review packets must be reviewed by staff and mailed to local commentators, and responses must be analyzed. This process can take 2 – 6 weeks. Once the comment period is completed, the intergovernmental review is evaluated by the STW Board and approved, approved with comments, or disapproved.
