The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality need a single web mapping application to provide accurate and secure access to all of the agency's critical environmental compliance data, while also providing dynamic access to dozens of other map services available from localities, other state organizations, and Federal Agencies. In response to this need, DEQ developed an ESRI ArcGIS Server Javascript web mapping portal that provides access to dozens of mapping resources and includes tools for querying, analyzing and collaborating on data available in the portal. As a result of these efforts, the portal application, system architecture are now part of the Virginia Environmental Geographic Information System (VEGIS) viewer.
