About

Behind the Platform SMAT’s Story

Built by Engineers, for Environmental Insight

The Source Monitoring & Analysis Tool (SMAT) was born from a clear need — to unify complex air source data, environmental reporting, and testing workflows into a single system.

What began as a small initiative has evolved into a robust platform supporting everything from enforcement tracking to lifecycle testing. Designed by a dedicated developer within the Illinois EPA, SMAT continues to grow with every feature, every use case, and every user request.

Built In-House

Designed, developed, and refined internally — with feedback from staff using it every day.

Grows with the Mission

Each SMAT tool was created to meet an evolving need — no bloat, just solutions.
