  1. Midwest Spatial Decision Support System PartershipDecember 2010 Update Partnership Demonstrations Where are we going? What role should EPA play?

  2. From the Head Waters to the River Mouth (Beaches) • High Impact Targeting of NPS Pollution – GLRI, MSU • Pesticide Drift Registration (“Drift Watch”), Purdue • LID—LTHIA/ Fort McCoy (update), Region 5 • Networked Neighborhoods/Social Indicators Empowering People, MSU • Load Duration Curve and Digital Watershed STORET Water Quality, (TMDL Tools), Purdue/MSU • Water Withdrawal Assessment Tool- Policy, Science & Information Technology, MSU • Climate Adaptation, WDNR • Future Activities & Next Steps

  3. Pesticide Drift Registration (“Drift Watch”) Tomato industry growers attribute dramatic reduction in losses to this site. Since 2008 we have documented increasing acceptance by crop producers and pesticide applicators.

  4. www.Driftwatch.org: Driftwatch began in Indiana in 2008, now is expanded to 5 states. Several other states and EPA Region 8 are interested.

  5. Indiana registered 17,000 acres of specialty crops in 2010.

  6. Automatic Updates Applicators < email> Public Data Base Producers Data Stewards < email>

  7. Indiana Driftwatch 2010 Website • 2525 visitors, 7986 views • Driftwatch Map 557 hits • User guide 380 users • Sensitive crops 246 users • Data steward 502 logins • Internet Browser Types: Internet explorer (69 %)

  8. Traffic through a season Individual Page Traffic displays navigation success.

  9. Traffic within Site User Guide Google Analytics allows an analysis of navigation trends within the site. This is a tool to optimize the users navigation experience. Producers Producers Sensitive Crops

  10. Google Analytics allow a geographical breakdown of the users locations, which can be included in the automatic monthly Analytics report.

  11. Pesticide Drift Registration (“Drift Watch”) 2010 Driftwatch Multi-state ( Region 5) website activity • Indiana Site: 2525 visitors made 8500 page views • Michigan Map page 386 hits • User guide 36 users, 55 hits • Sensitive crops 29 users, 39 hits • Data steward 100 logins • Illinois Map page 151 hits (July training)

  12. LID—LTHIA Web-based Low Impact Development Decision Support and Planning Tool

  13. L-THIA Model Data requirements and components for analysis in L-THIA Land use Curve Number values Soils Runoff depths Location Daily precipitation NPS pollutants Runoff volumes User supplied information Performed by L-THIA or L-THIA LID

  14. The L-THIA websites, which include all the Region 5 States, had 32,600 page views in 2010

  15. LID—LTHIA/ Fort McCoy • Insert Slides

  16. Load Duration Curve Tool 100 cfs Flood Conditions FDC LDC

  17. Benefits of LDCs • Target appropriate pollutant control or TMDL over flow regime • Visual display useful in characterization • Seasonal • Point vs. Nonpoint Source Pollution • Various stream conditions

  18. Load Duration Curve Tool FDC curve (Adapted from USEPA, 2007)

  19. Flow Duration Curve Tool LDC curve (Adapted from USEPA, 2007)

  20. Load Duration Curve Tool WQ Target (0.10 ppm) Target Concentration

  21. Future Activities & Next Steps LDC Tool Map connected to WQX and Digital Watershed -STORET Water Quality Tools L-THIA LID Spreadsheet connected to Digital Watershed Water Quality Tools Map
