The Facility Registry System Mainstreaming Locational Improvement In Our Work Status Update of Locational Data Improvement 2006 GIS Workgroup Meeting Cincinnati
Purpose • Locational Status • FRS Quality Improvements
EPA’s architecture enables the Agency by location to describe the quality of the environment and the activities occurring at that location
Facility Registry System The Agency Repository of Places of Environmental Interest • Creates a single, integrated set of facility identification information • Environmental Interests • Locational Coordinates • Affiliation • Provides links to EPA’s media information systems • Conforms to the Data Standard • Verifies the quality of data, including the linkages to EPA and State systems
Snapshot of FRS Location Data Feb 2006
Snapshot of FRS Location Data Aug 2006
746K Have NO Lat/Long! August 2006 Baseline May 2005 Baseline 51% without latitude/longitude 859,042 records 49% with latitude/longitude 825,854 records 62% with latitude/longitude 1,192,838 records 38% without latitude/longitude 746,565 records MASS CLEAN UP Removed locational points outside of U.S. Land/Territories and Zip Code centriod points previously entered by contractors 1,939,403 FRS 1,684,896 FRS Lat/Long data increased by 366,984 from May 2005 to August 2006
What Can Be Done? • Who is to Do it? • Where is the Data? • What approach can be successful?
Partnerships with Programs • 1.9 million unique records linking to program interests such as: • AFS • SDWIS • CAMDBS • NEI • PCS • Nat’l Performance Partnership • FRP (new) • BRACs (new) • TRI • RCRAInfo • RMP • RADInfo • ICIS • NCDB • CERCLIS • Schools (new)
Partnerships with Programs: Goal Planned Efforts for Increased Partnerships • Underground Injection Control (UIC) ~700,000 • Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database (EGRID) ~4,000 • More complete School Data ~20,000 • OECA Criminal Database ~1,800 • Underground Storage Tanks (UST) ~600,000- 1 million
Strategies to Locational Improvement • Partnerships • Leverage Exchange Network with States • Work closely with Regions and Program Offices • Data • Data Stewardship and Data Quality Reviews • Target critical data for consolidated acquisition/access • Integrated Error Correction Process • Automated Processes : Geo-Coding Lat/Long • Tools and Technologies • Improved Data Management • Develop reusable tools
Partnerships with States: 6 more in 2006
