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.
