Abstract
GIS: A Catalyst for Change in State AgenciesTrack: Environment Management
Author(s): Ronald Hermany
The permitting process at the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is filled with many challenges. To enhance this process, DEP and Esri developed a Web-enabled spatial component to DEP's corporate database, Environmental Facilities Application Compliance Tracking System (eFACTS), known as eFACTS - Spatial. eFACTS - Spatial demonstrates the power of GIS and the convenience of the Web. This accomplishment has generated new initiatives in data quality, standards, and staff training. Additionally, the success of eFACTS - Spatial and ArcIMS deployment has created the right tool for addressing key DEP concerns such as watershed awareness, the permitting process, and public outreach.
