Exchange Network Reaches Milestone with 50 State Partners!

The Exchange Network has reached a major milestone in that it now counts all 50 state environmental agencies as partners. With 50 states and 7 tribes now operational, the Exchange Network is poised to continue its growth as a more efficient method for sharing high quality environmental data. While much work remains to realize the Network’s full potential, Exchange Network partners are currently using it to securely exchange a wide variety of information, including water quality, air quality, hazardous waste, and homeland security data. Congratulations to the many individuals that helped achieve this important milestone. The Exchange Network governance looks forward to working with state, tribal, and federal partners to increase the scope of the Network and create new successes.
