Region 10 and STORET ► Regional Superfund Instance of STORET  WebSIM  Web Mapping Application (ARCIMS)  Tabular & Map Query Tools ► Superfund Data Flow: recently completed a migration template from the CLP into WebSIM for inorganics (SEDD to WQX template) Region 10: STORET 2007 User’s Conference

Introduction ► Examples of Region 10 Uses for STORET Web Services  Mapping STORET Stations: Generation of Input Formats for Virtual Earth, Google Earth, and ESRI Desktop and Server Products  Get STORET Results via Map Applications ► Suggestions for Future Web Services ► Superfund Data Flow into WQX Region 10: STORET 2007 User’s Conference

 Regional managers/scientists want ► map tools that allow display of contaminant concentrations directly on maps ► data that they can incorporate into statistical analysis, modeling, and reporting  Web Services that return pertinent data which can be easily used  Suggestions for additional web services Region 10: STORET 2007 User’s Conference To Stimulate Further Demand for WQX/STORET in Region 10

 Proposed Web Service One: Addition to the STORET Result Web Service ► User Input Parameters: latitude-longitude bounds ► Web Service Output: characteristic results for all stations within the lat-lon bounds ► Example Uses: Interactive query from a map or query form; also for intermittent data downloads Region 10: STORET 2007 User’s Conference Suggestions: Three Additional Web Services

Example of Use for Proposed Web Service One Select multiple stations directly from a map interface with a latitude longitude bounding box Region 10: STORET 2007 User’s Conference

 Proposed Web Service Two: Combination of getStations and getResults Web Services ► User Input Parameters: latitude-longitude bounds, selected characteristics ► Web Service Output: Station info (including location) and characteristic results ► Example Uses:  Map contaminant levels at station locations: symbolize stations with contamination above action levels (10x a criteria for example)  Analyze data via a mapping interface: identify problem contaminants, areas, or media  Incorporate data into models – (for example: surface water, groundwater, or statistical models) Region 10: STORET 2007 User’s Conference Suggestion #2: Three Additional Web Services

Suggestion #3: Three Additional Web Services  Proposed Web Service Three: Creation of a STORET/WQX Spatial (Mapping) Data Service ► Web Mapping Service (WMS) ► ESRI ARCGIS Feature Service (GISServer or ARCIMS)

Superfund Data Flow into WQX Region 10 as a Data Generator ► Region 10: Number of Samples for 2006  Contract Lab Program (CLP) ► 1,398 Organic, 20,484 Inorganic  Region 10 Lab in Manchester ► 5,000 Total (Organic and Inorganic) ► EPA’s Analytical Services Branch 

Lab SEDD Forms2 LITE R10 Deliverable mapped to WebSIM R10 Deliverable SEDD/F2L mapped to WQX Region 10: STORET 2007 User’s Conference Region 10 Superfund Data Flow into WQX Contract Lab Program

Summary  STORET Web Services are a great start, we want more! ► Additional services are necessary to facilitate data analysis and decision making ► Anticipated high visibility use of these services will increase future WQX utilization  Superfund Data Flow to WQX ► Is there demand for mapping the SEDD format to WQX?
