Wandering around the web today, I ran across an interesting site.
The EPA has a website that allows us to map environmental issues that might be in areas we are thinking of buying a home. There is a wealth of information that one can find here (here are the titles… fell free to visit the site to find out more):
- Pesticides
- TRI Facilities
- Enviro Justice Geo Assessment Tool
- Katrina & Rita water test results
- Superfund Sites
- Envirofacts
- Window to My Environment
- Brownfield Grants
- Waste Management
- Clean-ups
- Water
The site is pretty cool. One puts in an address or ZIP code and then the area issues are displayed in a map format, allowing one to easily see what might be in the area.
I almost forgot to give the site… Here it is!
