EPA Data Website: Will It Still Be Available If Government Shuts Down?

The Environmental Protection Agency tweeted Monday morning to assure citizens of the United States the agency would not be taking down itsOpen Data site.
The confusion stemmed from a notice that appeared on the site early Monday, warning the site would be shut down come Friday. The exact words, according to photos tweeted by many, read: “This site will be shut down Friday, April 28, 2017.”
