It is a new approach to working with communities to collect, manage, and present environmental information. The program aims to work with communities to make timely, accurate, and understandable environmental information available to millions of people in the largest metropolitan areas across the country. EPA grants are available to support these projects. The purpose of the EDR is to promote the collection of data in a consistent fashion so that information sharing is easier.
Some data elements appear in multiple groups.
Selecting one of the boxes below will provide an abstract about each group, a list of data elements, and a link to any related documentation. Information is also provided on EPA data standards publications and guidances .
