This website provides copies of the following relevant documents: work products from the Reasonable Progress Goals Project and summaries of meetings and conference calls between the state, tribal, and federal organizations.
Based on available information, the MANE-VU Reasonable Progress Workgroup selected the following source categories for analysis:
