While the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has spent approximately $63 million from 1988-89 through 1994-95 on information technology resources (of this total $11.3 million was for information system development), its information systems cannot be consistently used as management tools to produce data addressing the effectiveness of key agency activities and programs.
