Why OIMA?  Enhance Monitoring, Assessment and Reporting Systems Our business is complex Our business is complex Water Board has over 20 IT systems Water Board has over 20 IT systems “Data rich – Information poor” “Data rich – Information poor” Maximize available information Maximize available information Serve staff, management, regulated community, legislature and the public Serve staff, management, regulated community, legislature and the public

Coordinate IT Projects (Not Just CIWQS!)  CIWQS  eSMR-2  SSO  SWPAP  SWARM  SMARTS  eWRIMS  Geotracker  SWAMP  GAMA  CEDEN  ECM  LGTS  EBDT  FAAST  AFRS  AFBS  ABTS  Beach Watch  BDAS  SCUFIS  GeoWBS  CAWaQA

Information Framework

California’s Surface Water Ambient Monitoring Program “SWAMP”

SWAMP: Required by AB 982  Comprehensive (surface water)  Coordinate all Board ambient water quality monitoring  High Quality Data (Quality Assurance)  Comparable data  Accessible

Main components of SWAMP  State-wide monitoring projects  Regional monitoring programs  State-wide “umbrella” (Comparability) (Comparability)

Building “Comparability”  SWAMP is a state framework to coordinate consistent and scientifically defensible methods and strategies for improving water quality monitoring, assessment, and reporting.  Common Indicators  Comparable Methods  Quality Assurance Program  Database w/ metadata  Information Exchange Network  Tool Box and Training

Senate Bill 1070  MOU between CalEPA and Resources Agency to establish the California Monitoring Council  Public information program on water quality matters

California Monitoring Council SB1070 State and Regional Boards Department of Water Resources Department of Fish and Game California Coastal Commission State Lands Commission Department of Parks and Recreation Department of Forestry and Fire Protection Department of Pesticide Regulation Department of Health Services Federal Government, Local Government, Academia, Regulated Community, Citizen Monitoring Community

The needs that generated SB1070  Everyone needs Water Quality data  Status of waters  Public safety and comfort  Effectiveness of programs  Resources for monitoring are lacking  Budgets small and unstable  Need to coordinate (consistency issues)  Information not reasonably accessible  Multiple agencies collecting data  No single place to access data

Water Data Institute Access to Water Quality Data (SB1070) Access to Water Quantity Data (AB1404)  Not hosted by Water Boards  Governed by Council (PAG)  Sustainable funding  Leverage existing projects Link to Programmatic Information Permits, Waste Discharge RequirementsPermits, Waste Discharge Requirements Petitions, Waivers,Petitions, Waivers, Enforcement Actions,Enforcement Actions, Basin PlansBasin Plans
