The Community Environmental Awareness Project (CEAP) is a Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) effort to develop an approach to improve the way environmental information is presented and made available to the public. The goal of the Community Environmental Awareness Project is to improve the public's access to and understanding of how major industries are performing under environmental laws and regulations.  The pilot phase of this project profiles automobile manufacturing facilities. Automobile assembly plants were chosen to pilot this project because they are large manufacturers with potential for significant environmental impact.  DaimlerChrysler Corporation, Ford Motor Company and General Motors agreed to participate in this voluntary, cooperative effort to better communicate information.  If the pilot phase is successful, the DEQ hopes to eventually expand this effort into other industry sectors.
