Council on Environmental Quality Interagency Task Force Report on Environmental Data and Monitoring

摘要

The President's 1977 Environmental Message called attention to deficiencies in the nation's environmental data and monitoring programs. These deficiencies included inadequate monitoring design, poor quality assurance and coordination, and insufficient data and analytical information for environmental assessment, policy development, and program evaluation. The report reviews environmental data and monitoring programs and makes recommendations that would improve the effectiveness of the programs.
