$25M for integrating state environmental information systems
EPA will place a greater emphasis on innovative approaches to environmental protection, such as market-based incentives, and will request $25 million in grant funding to help states better integrate their environmental information systems. At present,
the data collected on various systems are done separately. “There are air data and water data but they are not easily integrated,” Whitman said. “Doing a better job of integrating these systems will facilitate results-based management.”
