SummarySummarySummarySummary

A user can set up and register a database specific to an Agency’s or site’s needs.

The data within the new database can be modified without impacting the original database.

Other Agencies have developed their own databases with data specific to their Agency’s needs [e.g., military relevant compounds (MRCs), unexploded ordinances (UXOs), etc.]
