Resource

Website providing information on Michigan’s supplemental environmental projects program, which manages environmentally beneficial projects that are not required by state or federal law, but an alleged violator agrees to undertake as part of a settlement of an enforcement action. SEPs are projects that go beyond what is legally required to return to compliance with applicable state and federal laws.

Resource

Template intended to help jurisdictions navigate the community action planning process by providing a set of sample strategic objectives, actions, and evaluation metrics to plan program activities to address key children’s environmental health issues in communities.

Resource

Interactive map that displays information on air quality monitoring, locations of oil and gas wells, ozone and PM2.5 nonattainment areas, permitting and compliance for NSR and Title V permits, and point source emissions.

Resource

The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Program tracks the industrial management of toxic chemicals. TRI data are reported annually by industrial and federal facilities that meet reporting requirements. EPA makes these data available through multiple online tools, many of which add context to help make the reported data more understandable.

Resource

Mapping tool to view regulated facilities, including for Title V permits, minor permits, and area sources.

Resource

Web map providing information on health risks from petrochemical air pollution, chemicals and companies driving those risks, where facilities releasing toxic chemicals are located, and where air quality monitors measure this pollution. The map also displays other drivers of risk, like pollution from other sources.

Resource

Website providing information about the Ohio EPA Emission Reduction Credit Banking Program

Resource

Presentation on how to design a rule to establish standards for space and water heaters. Includes information on rule development, estimating emissions reductions and health impacts, and estimating costs.

Resource

Climate TRACE is a global emissions tracking initiative and online platform that uses satellite observations, remote sensing, and other independent data—combined with AI and machine learning—to estimate greenhouse gas emissions from specific countries, sectors, and large facilities in near real time. It provides publicly accessible maps, dashboards, and downloadable data that let users see where emissions are coming from, how they change over time, and how reported inventories compare to independent estimates, supporting greater transparency and accountability in climate action.

Resource

EPA’s Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) modeling system is an open-source, regional air quality model used to simulate how pollutants such as ozone, PM2.5, and air toxics form and move in the atmosphere. It combines detailed atmospheric chemistry, emissions, and meteorology to estimate pollutant concentrations and deposition over time and space. The CMAQ website provides the model code, documentation, tutorials, input datasets, and example applications, supporting researchers and agencies in evaluating air quality policies, health and ecosystem impacts, and interactions between air quality and climate.
