The EPA Environmental Monitoring for Public Access and Community
Tracking (EMPACT) Metro Grant announcement for FY 00 has been
posted on our website. The grant opened December 10 and will close
April 10, 2000. The grants are awarded in the amounts of $250,000 to
$400,000 for consortia of organizations wishing to conduct real-time
environmental monitoring, data management, and communication of
that environmental information to the public. Please feel free to call
Wienke Tax at 520/622-1622 if you have questions about the grant
application or the grant program in general. Also, please feel free to
forward this information to others in your organization or in the
environmental field. The grant is available on-line at
http://es.epa.gov/ncerqa/rfa/2000empact.html
The ultimate goal of EMPACT is to assist communities to provide
sustainable public access to environmental monitoring data and =
information
that are clearly communicated in real-time (or timely), useful, and =
accurate
in the largest U.S. metropolitan areas. Environmental monitoring =
consists
of the systematic measurement, evaluation, and communication of =
physical,
chemical, and/or biological information intended to give insight into
environmental conditions. EMPACT seeks to assist the American public in
day-to-day decision-making about their health and the environment.
Additional information about the EMPACT program and existing EMPACT
projects are available at http://www.epa.gov/empact.
This solicitation will lead to grant awards which establish pilot =
projects
in a
limited number of eligible cities. The pilot projects will emphasize =
using
advanced and innovative technologies to (A) monitor environmental =
conditions
and (B) provide and communicate environmental information to citizens. =
The
pilots also require effective partnerships between local and state
governments,
research institutions, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the =
private
sector,
and/or the Federal Government. Data and information derived from EMPACT
monitoring activities must be disseminated using terminology and
format that are clearly understandable, relevant, and credible to the =
lay
public.
