EPA website removes climate science site from public view after two decades

The Environmental Protection Agency announced Friday evening that its website would be “undergoing changes” to better represent the new direction the agency is taking, triggering the removal of several agency websites containing detailed climate data and scientific information.

The agency also said it would carefully archive pages from the past administration.

How to Monitor EPA Regulations for Farms including New Laws and Farming Regulation


How to Monitor EPA Regulations for Farms including New Laws and Farming Regulation

http://www.changedetect.com/ Option 1 Join the Ag Center's News Service https://www.epa.gov/agriculture/agriculture-join-ag-centers-news-service

But you will only receive news alerts every other week And while it is good that the EPA set up this alert service, it is very basic and not at all customizable. Now if you subscribe to the Ag Center alerts (and we recommed that you do), you will receive alerts on what the EPA refers to a "variety of topics".

This means that you will receive alerts on, for example, "animal waste management" when your ag business may not produce or need to manage animal waste.

The AG Center's News Service is a blunt instrument. What you really need is a sharp tool.

Option 2 Implement the solution to target your AG center alerts to only only the issues that matter to you.

How would you achieve that?

You can use the free service from ChangeDetect monitor EPA regulations for your ag business.

From ChangeDetect, you can enter your list of web pages to track for changes. You will receive an e-mail alert when your target web pages change.
