sites on land
– EPA has provided
funding to develop
capacity to assess
environmental concerns
Exchange Network Can PlayImportant Role

assessment reports
submitted to IHS
Exchange Network Can PlayImportant Role
– Initiative to develop data flow to use EN to
exchange data
– Pilot flow could be
done between IHS OMDS, EPA’s Tribal
Information Management System
and Cherokee Nation Node
Exchange Network Can PlayImportant Role
