ORD-Community Tools and Handbooks
Case Studies/Environmental Monitoring
The purpose for these community-based EMPACT projects is to make real-time environmental monitoring information available to their respective communities in a format that is useable and easy to understand (using the project Web site - and other outreach media). Each technology transfer handbook provides project case studies and contains suggestions and recommendations that can be used to design, employ and maintain comparable environmental monitoring, data management/delivery, and communication/outreach programs. The handbooks also provide lessons-learned and success stories associated with the planning and implementation of these projects. The handbooks are written primarily for community organizers, non-profit groups, local government officials, tribal officials, and other decision-makers who will implement, or are considering implementing, comparable environmental monitoring and outreach programs.
Pdf versions of each handbook are available for viewing and downloading from EPA's Office of Research and Development Technology Transfer Web site at http://www.epa.gov/ttbnrmrl/ . (In many cases, you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader 5 or higher to view and download the pdf files.) In addition, CD ROM versions of each technology transfer handbook (and in some cases, print versions) are currently or will be available during the Summer of 2003 for direct on-line ordering (free-of-charge) from this ORD Web site. It is recommended that you periodically visit the Web site for publication updates.
The following is a complete list of the EMPACT products developed by the Technology Transfer and
Support Division of ORD's National Risk Management Research Laboratory. The list includes URL addresses of handbook pdf files currently available to view and download.
