The Environmental Protection Agency has made several online resources available for reporters to "help generate or confirm stories" and save time, the Society of Environmental Journalists reports.
Cleanups in My Community: Through a street address or ZIP code search, reporters can learn which facilities in their community are subject to EPA's Superfund, Brownfields or Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA, solid or hazardous waste) cleanup programs, SEJ reports.
RadNet: Reporters can access the national network of over 200 radiation monitoring stations across the U.S.
Discharge Monitoring Report Pollutant Loading Tool: This tool gives reporters "better estimates of the pollutant load on a particular body of water" and "makes it easier . . . to assess whether current pollution restrictions will actually result in water quality improvements," SEJ reports.
AirNow: This tool provides "copyright-free daily local forecasts, maps, and air pollution measurements that work really well online," SEJ reports.
