1. WQX Web and FIFRA Data EPA Region 5 pre-SFIREG meeting WQX demonstration Larry Theller, ABE, Purdue University Leighanne Hahn, OISC Conference Call April 19, 2012 from 1:00 - 2:30 central time (2:00 - 3:30 eastern time). The conference call number is 866-299-3188, conference code 7193131.

2. WQX and FIFRA Data What is WQX How is it used Original concept for data upload Current “state of the art” data loader Process flow Data loader upgrades created for this project Future Tool (2 year NEIEN project) 2 OISC WQX

3. WQX as Framework The Water Quality Exchange (WQX) is a framework that makes it easier for States, Tribes, and others to submit and share water quality monitoring data over the Internet. States, Tribes and other organizations can now submit data directly to the publicly-accessible STORET Data Warehouse using the WQX framework. WQX will eventually replace the distributed STORET, the STORET Data Entry Module, Reports Module, and STORET Import Module or SIM as the primary means of submitting water quality monitoring data to EPA. 3 OISC WQX

12. In this typical spreadsheet layout, the measurements are in columns, and each set of samples from a location is a row. 12OISC WQX 12

13. The columns need to pivot so each measurement becomes one row, and the data collection notes need to be replicated for each measurement. 13 OISC WQX
