Dalroy Ward

Dalroy has worked for years to make information in EPA’s databases easily available to EPA’s staff and directly to the public through web enabled applications such as EPA’s Envirofacts database and web site, MyEnvironment, and recently with a movement into mobile applications.  IAD has taken the lead in making Web 2.0 tools available for use by EPA staff, beginning with the use of open source wiki and blog software, and expanding our offerings by soon providing professional networking software.  EPA is using these tools to enable collaboration within the Agency, expand our collaboration to stakeholders outside of the Agency, and to reach out to the public to get input on topics such as watershed management, Enforcement strategy, and pre-rulemaking activities.
