Abstract

The design, integration, and implementation of EPA/OCSPP/OPPT 's
Track: Environmental Management
Authors: Wen-Hsiung Lee

EPA's Chemical Safety Mapper (CSM) shows the integration of environmental models, databases and GIS applications over the web by utilizing the power of server-based GIS and J2EE based environmental modeling system. It advances modeling over the web so that a user can run the model repeatedly by alternating parameters. Furthermore, CSM takes a full advantage of ArcGIS Server 10 and publishes base data, EPA data and demographic data as services and overlays them with the model outputs. By collaboration with EPA's Office of Environmental Justice and Office of Environmental Information, CSM sends the model results via the web and calls the demographic analytical service that EPA's EJView offer so that a user can evaluate demographic exposure that a particular model run output may have. CSM shows great potential in hosting a legacy model in the cloud and integration with web-based GIS and displaying monitoring data.
