EMPACT has met its intended goals. Having met the program's goals, the Environmental Monitoring for Public Access and Community Tracking (EMPACT) Program ended in 2001. EMPACT grants are no longer available. EMPACT has met its goal of helping communities bring people up-to-date local environmental information they can understand and use in making daily decisions about protecting their health and environment. People in over 160 communities in 39 States now have current and accurate information about environmental conditions in their communities. Many of the valuable lessons learned from EMPACT are accessible on this Website through the EMPACT Technology Transfer Handbooks and resource documents, as well as from the EMPACT projects that are continuing to provide their communities with valuable local environmental information. Many of the EMPACT projects are working with other communities with similar local environmental monitoring needs. |
