Announcing... CEQAmap Awarded High Honors!
CEQAmap, California’s only WEB based digital archive of environment related documents,
recently received the prestigious 2008 Outstanding Technological Environmental Resource Award by the California
Association of Environmental Professionals (AEP). The award was presented at AEP’s annual conference in San Diego. Award officials noted that “CEQAmap, a free, searchable digital archive, increasingly
improves the ability of the public to access important environmental resources.”
Cofounder and managing partner Don Ritter expressed his gratitude for receiving the
notable recognition by explaining,“We would like to thank the staff at the Governor’s Office
of Planning and Research, State Clearinghouse, for their cooperation with us in this endeavor. We are
also very grateful for the many sponsors of CEQAmap, who have stepped forward to
underwrite the costs related to maintaining the WEB server and code
development. These are attorneys,
scientists and consultants who have recognized the importance of this archive
and through their generous support have kept CEQAmap free to all users.”
Dean Coker, who accepted the award on behalf of CEQAmap.com, explained in his
acceptance speech that, “CEQAmap is a special archive; it is your archive, that
is, you, the hundreds of environmental professionals who have written and
produced these important documents. Today, every six minutes, someone, somewhere; not only California, but across the nation and in a
growing number of foreign countries, accesses this archive for reference.”
