  1. Montana DEQ and Region 8 EPA A Joint Project for Effective Utilization of STORET

  2. By: Deborah DorlandMontana DEQHelena, MTphone: (406) 444-2407email: ddorland@state.mt.us

  3. Project DevelopmentConsiderations • Limited resource • Cycle of data management • Sustainability

  4. Task Based Project Components • Data flow within the agency • Migrate chemistry data backlog • Migrate biological data backlog • Web enabled SIM pilot project • Requirements analysis for information management

  5. Requirements Analysis • Determine functional requirements • Recommendation for platform • Explore options for data analysis • Survey of staff needs • Oral interviews for key topics • Summary report developed by MT DEQ, EPA region 8 and Research Triangle Institute

  6. Task Based Project Components • Data flow within the agency • Migrate chemistry data backlog • Migrate biological data backlog • Web enabled SIM pilot project • Requirements analysis for information management

  7. Enhance User Acceptance • Increase data quantity • Enhance data quality • Reduce turnaround time from data collection to STORET warehouse

  8. Data Backlog for Migration • Chemistry data • Biological data (taxon abundance) • Historic data from special projects

  9. Evaluate Data Flow • Efficiency • Streamline quality control activities

  10. External Data Flow

  11. Strategy for 319 Project Data and Other External Data Sources • Standardize format for electonic data deliverables • Incorporate into contract requirements • Guidance for data formats • Provide access to import data directly to STORET through web-enabled SIM

  12. Getting to the Complete SIM Deliverable • Many data providers manage only a subset of metadata required for STORET • Field monitors create stations and take field measurements • Laboratories analyze samples and generate results • Planning staff or project administrators develop project details • Data provider must construct the complete data deliverable

  13. Standardize LIMS EDD • Data from multiple labs in variable formats • State agency labs • University labs • Commercial Labs • 319 projects use various approaches • RFP for consistent STORET deliverables

  14. Training and Technical Support • Workshops • Telephone / email • Volunteer training • Contracted support?

  15. Support • General guidance • SIM templates (spreadsheets) • Lists of acceptable values for STORET

  16. Web-enabled SIM Hosted by Gold Systems

  17. Upload text file • Select import configuration • Import data to STORET

  18. Scope and Scalability

  19. Web SIM Pilot Project
