  1. From STORET to WQXNew Jersey’s Solution for Integrating Ambient Water Quality, Facility and GIS Information from Federal, State, County & Volunteer Organizations Harry Chen New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection November 28, 2007 Austin, TX

  2. Project Purpose • Integrate water quality data • Streamline and simplify data transfer • Provide better, more timely access to water quality data • Aid decision-making • Improve resource efficiency

  3. Goals • Develop an up to date, searchable inventory of ambient water quality monitoring in New Jersey • Integrate ambient water quality monitoring data into NJDEP’s enterprise environmental data management system to enable more integrated environmental decisions • Make NJ ambient water quality monitoring data available to the public • Report ambient water quality monitoring data to USEPA

  4. Project Partners • NJDEP • Bureau of Freshwater and Biological Monitoring • Bureau of Marine Water Monitoring • Bureau of Water Quality Standards and Assessment • Division of Watershed Management • Division of Science, Research, and Technology • USGS • Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) • County Governments • Volunteer Monitoring Organizations • NJ Water Monitoring Coordinating Council (Inventory)

  7. Water Quality Data Management Model

  8. Core project components • WQX data flow, consisting of the following • Data-in: E2 WQX module with data validation • Data transmission to and from COMPASS • Data-out: NJ Water Monitoring Inventory / Data Portal • Outbound data transmission to EPA CDX

  9. High-Level Data Flow EPA CDX E2 COMPASS ENDS

  10. Data System Integration • E2 • COMPASS • ENDS Data will be transmitted through each component using NJ’s Exchange Network NODE.

  11. FutureAmbient Water Quality Data Producers 4 EPA & USGS Web Services

  12. Data Submission Options

  13. GIS Integration Monitoring Inventory Data Reports Link Web-based Maps Link Link

  14. GIS Proposals: • EN Browser hosted by ECOS, a national solution • NJ-GeoWeb, a NJ solution

  15. EN Browser Web services data discovery tool • Allows users to discover and execute Data Requests on Exchange Network Nodes • Offers users the ability to remove (filter) unwanted sections of the XML data set returned from a Data Service • Users have the option of choosing the format that they would like to retrieve the data in • Can integrate with enterprise data reporting tools

  16. NJ-GeoWeb A New Vision for Seeking Spatial Intelligence. Integrating customized GIS and analysis tools with enterprise databases for improved decision-making on the Internet.

  18. WQDE Project Challenges • Pulling data from USGS (web services in development) • Pulling data from EPA (web services in development) • Coordinating with a large number of project partners • Requires compromise • Re-engineering current reporting procedures, while designing new WQX reporting procedures • How to teach an old dog new tricks?

  19. Project Phases and Tasks: • Business Process Analysis • Functional Requirements Specification and System Design • System Development, Data Preparation and Implementation • Acceptance Testing • User Training, Documentation and Outreach

  20. Next Steps • Complete System Design • Programming and Development • User Acceptance Testing • Documentation and Training • Production Deployment • Send data to EPA • Target Date: October 2008
