EPA Web Demonstration Project
with ESRI and County Partners

Partners include:  EPA Office of Environmental Information (Dave Catlin and Dave Wolf), ESRI-Philadelphia (Chris Cappelli and Jim Frank), Clinton County (Jim Watson), Centre County (Rod Brown), Cumberland County (Randy Wagoner), and PAGIS Consortium (Dale Bruns, Tom Sweet, and Wilkes' GeoEnvironmental Department) 

Web based GIS represents the "leading edge" in GIS technologies and allows anyone with a conventional Internet "Web Browser" to access GIS data and maps from various sources.  The US-L GIS Watershed Master Plan developed a data distribution strategy for local government and environmental applications based on Web GIS technology.  EPA's EnviroMapper (http://maps.epa.gov/enviromapper/) and EPA's Windows to My Environment (http://www.epa.gov/enviro/wme/) are both examples of Web based GIS.

The Consortium is partnering with EPA for this demo in order to showcase local and federal scales of GIS data in the same Web browser map portal for various government and environmental applications.

What we have to show you:
The Consortium utilizes GIS software from ESRI, one of our founding partners. The server currently hosts data from Cumberland , Clinton , and Centre counties. The data (including vectors and digital orthophotography) is stored inside a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 database using ArcSDE. See it at the
