Wetlands - Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP)

About the Technical Evaluation Panel


The technical evaluation panel (TEP) is generally regarded to be one of the strengths of the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act. TEPs provide forums to discuss site-specific interpretations of laws, rules, and technical data. They also provide an opportunity for gaining consensus on a number of primarily technical issues in order to make a recommendation to the decision maker.
