7 Future of ICIS  Full Batch Data Flow Enables ICIS For: Electronic exchange of information between EPA and states (e.g., NPDES Permitting, Enforcement and Compliance information). Electronic exchange of information between EPA and states (e.g., NPDES Permitting, Enforcement and Compliance information). Electronic reporting from the NPDES regulated universe to EPA Electronic reporting from the NPDES regulated universe to EPA Electronic reporting of compliance monitoring data from inspectors in the field Electronic reporting of compliance monitoring data from inspectors in the field Electronic submission of data from other EPA systems Electronic submission of data from other EPA systems

8 Future of ICIS  Electronic reporting of compliance data from inspectors in the field: Region 4 inspectors to send their compliance monitoring data and RCRA inspection reports directly to ICIS from the field via CDX Region 4 inspectors to send their compliance monitoring data and RCRA inspection reports directly to ICIS from the field via CDX EPA is piloting tablet software for the PCB and NPDES Construction Storm Water compliance monitoring programs EPA is piloting tablet software for the PCB and NPDES Construction Storm Water compliance monitoring programs

1010  Free.NET and Java software posted on the Exchange Network used for submitting all data families to ICIS  Stores data extracted from state NPDES system into staging tables structured like ICIS  Generates XML submission files and submits them to ICIS through CDX  Returns results of ICIS processing  States must extract their NPDES data into the staging tables with ICIS reference codes ICIS Electronic Submission Tools

OpenNode2 ICIS-NPDES Full Batch Plugin Submitting Data to ICIS the Easy Way Bill Rensmith, Windsor Solutions, Inc. 11

OpenNode2  Project Background About OpenNode2, flows, and plugins About OpenNode2, flows, and plugins About this Project About this Project Project Timeline Project Timeline  How it Works Staging Tables Staging Tables Submission Lifecycle Submission Lifecycle  Live Demonstration Implementer Responsibilities Implementer Responsibilities Options for non-OpenNode2 States Options for non-OpenNode2 States  Q & A 12

About OpenNode2  Open source Exchange Network node software  OpenNode2 can: send data to other Network partners send data to other Network partners make data available for others to query make data available for others to query  Most widely used node software on the Network  Available at 13

About Flows and Plugins  Each type of data on the network is a “flow” There is a flow for each regulatory area (air, waste, etc…) There is a flow for each regulatory area (air, waste, etc…) ICIS-NPDES is one of many available flows ICIS-NPDES is one of many available flows EPA defined the rules for sending data via the ICIS- NPDES flow EPA defined the rules for sending data via the ICIS- NPDES flow  Each flow is implemented as a Plugin in OpenNode2 Plugins are the software that contain the functionality needed to support a specific flow Plugins are the software that contain the functionality needed to support a specific flow The OpenNode2 Google code site has plugins for most major regulatory flows to EPA The OpenNode2 Google code site has plugins for most major regulatory flows to EPA 14

About this Project  The ICIS-NPDES Full Batch flow is complex 46 different data families 46 different data families 149 tables (complex data types) 149 tables (complex data types) 1195 fields (simple elements) 1195 fields (simple elements) 963 business rules 963 business rules  To reduce implementation challenge, EPA and ECOS wanted to make available tools to simplify flow implementation for states. 15

About this Project (cont’d)  In September 2011, EPA and ECOS engaged Windsor to develop full batch data flow plugin for OpenNode2 Ubiquity of OpenNode2 made it a good choice to reach the widest potential audience of states Ubiquity of OpenNode2 made it a good choice to reach the widest potential audience of states To reduce cost, only developing for the.NET version of OpenNode2 (most commonly used version) To reduce cost, only developing for the.NET version of OpenNode2 (most commonly used version)  Pilot with Washington Dept. of Ecology Summer 2012 Summer

Project Timeline  1/5/2012 – Plugin design completed  2/8/2012 – Staging tables released to Google Code  3/13/2012 – Beta Plugin released to Google Code  4-8/2012 – Test/Implement in WA  8/23/2012 – Final Plugin release to Google Code  12/2012 – Release of ICIS v4 Plugin Adds support for compliance and enforcement modules Adds support for compliance and enforcement modules 17

Overall Submission Workflow 18

Workflow Lifecycle 1. Data Preparation Stage a. State-specific Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) b. Change Detection Process 2. Submission Stage 3. Result Processing Stage a. Retrieve Accept/Reject Report and Parse/Store Results b. Store Accepted Records  Full lifecycle must complete before repeating  Checks in place to prevent out-of-sequence execution 19

ICIS-NPDES Staging Tables  Two sets of staging tables: ICS_FLOW_LOCAL – Agency’s NPDES data to send to ICIS ICS_FLOW_LOCAL – Agency’s NPDES data to send to ICIS ICS_FLOW_ICIS – Copy of all data successfully sent to ICIS ICS_FLOW_ICIS – Copy of all data successfully sent to ICIS 20

Stage 1: Data Preparation  ETL Step Refresh “local” tables with latest data from agency NPDES database Refresh “local” tables with latest data from agency NPDES database 21

Stage 1: Data Preparation (cont’d)  Detect Changes Step Database routine compares “Local” data with “ICIS” data to determine what needs to get sent. Database routine compares “Local” data with “ICIS” data to determine what needs to get sent. Sets Transaction Codes (N, C, R). Leave Transaction Code blank if data is already in sync with ICIS. Sets Transaction Codes (N, C, R). Leave Transaction Code blank if data is already in sync with ICIS. Inserts records into “Local” for Deletes (D, X). Inserts records into “Local” for Deletes (D, X). 22

Stage 2: Submission  Plugin builds payload for all modules/records that have a Transaction Code set. 23

Stage 3: Result Processing  Download, Parse and Store Results Step: When processing is complete, Node downloads and parses Accepted and Rejected Transactions into a Result Tracking Table. When processing is complete, Node downloads and parses Accepted and Rejected Transactions into a Result Tracking Table. 24

Stage 3: Result Processing (cont’d)  Store Accepted Transactions Step: Accepted Records are copied from “Local” to “ICIS”. Accepted Records are copied from “Local” to “ICIS”. Performed by a stored procedure executed by the plugin. Performed by a stored procedure executed by the plugin. 25

Stage 3: Result Processing (cont’d)  How do I audit successes/failures? All feedback from ICIS is stored in result tracking table (ICS_SUBM_RESULTS) All feedback from ICIS is stored in result tracking table (ICS_SUBM_RESULTS) Only stores the accepted transactions from the most recent submission Only stores the accepted transactions from the most recent submission Stores all errors received for a given business key’ Stores all errors received for a given business key’ 26
