Paper
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality Environmental Monitoring Response System
Track: Environmental Management
Author(s): Joseph Rincon, Brent Porter

This paper will discuss the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's (TCEQ) Environmental Monitoring Response System (EMRS). EMRS will function as a new agency GIS-based system to monitor near real-time environmental events for both air and water within the state of Texas. The EMRS application will help focus agency resources (regional staff) to manage facilities regulated by the TCEQ in the event of an environmental upset. EMRS will leverage Oracle/ArcSDE, ArcIMS, and ArcGIS Server products and meteorological, DEMS, NHD, and GDT/Dynamap data layers as well as utilize external air and water models within this construct.
