The ENASGIPS tool has been developed by Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA), Health Canada and the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) in collaboration with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and European Commission Joint Research Centre as part of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) project on �Harmonization of International Terrestrial Field Dissipation and Ecoregion Crosswalk.� The tool uses soil, climate, and crop databases to identify/quantify ecoregion similarities between the European and North American countries along with executing soil, climate, and crop queries for site selection based on concerns identified in the conceptual model. The presentation includes examples that demonstrate the ability of the tool to identify terrestrial field dissipation sites in North American and European countries. Results from these example runs will be used to explain the basis for decisions on site selection. Additionally, suggestions as to when and how the tool can be used will also be provided. Note: The content of this presentation does not necessarily represent the official views of the USEPA or PMRA.
