CY 2004 Performance Measures

• Focus on both building infrastructure and
  exchanging data
• Goal Create critical mass by end of 2004
• 3 Measures with Specific Targets

3
Performance Goal 1
Success is defined as data flowing through to
destination systems with no diminution of
service.
Targets by Flow
4
Performance Goal 2

• Success is defined as States that are capable of
  multiple flows (two or more) to partners.
• Target 10-14 States doing multiple flows by end
  of 2004

5
Performance Goal 3

• Success is defined as having the technical
  architecture in place by having partners
  establish fully functional Nodes.
• Target 35 Nodes by the end of 2004

6
HOW DID WE DO???
7
Performance Goal 1 Targets
Summary Exceeded FRS (new data to EPA) Lots of
states ready for NEI in Spring 05 RCRAInfo and
SDWIS not available until end of CY2004 The
only one that got easier was FRS
Type Schema/EPA Can Receive and Process Goal Progress
FRS Yes/Yes 20 25
Beaches Yes/Yes 7 3
NEI Yes/Yes 12 6
PCS/IDEF Yes/Yes 10 2
RCRAInfo Yes/Yes 10 3
SDWIS Yes/Yes 10 3
Only 1 of 2 modules can be processed by EPA
PCS/IDEF is scheduled not available to all
Only RCRAInfo Handler can be processed by
EPA Available in December 2004
8
Performance Goal 2 States with Multiple Flows

• Met goal with 10 states with more than 1 data
  flow
• OR FRS, PNNWQX, NEI, Hazardous Waste
  Transporters (4) with RCRA Handler coming soon!
• WA FRS, PNNWQX, Hazardous Waste Transporters,
  Fish Tissue with DOH (4)
• NJ Beaches, FRS, NEI (3) with SDWIS coming soon
• DE Beaches, NEI, and PCS/IDEF (3)
• NH Beaches, RCRAInfo Handler, FRS (3)

9
Performance Goal 2 States with Multiple Flows
(contd)

• Met goal with 10 states with more than 1 data
  flow (contd)
• NY FRS, SDWIS
• MI DMR, TRI
• ME SDWIS, FRS
• MD SDWIS, FRS
• MS FRS, RCRAInfo Handler

Other things to Report

• Reusable tools and software code developed and
  shared.
• Some demonstrated Node Configurations being
  downloaded and installed in 1 day.
• States developed sharable XML Style sheets to
  convert drinking water lab data to SDWIS
• States developed sharable Beach Monitoring web
  tools Great Lakes States going to adopt
• Looking at numbers
• Thousands of new FRS records at EPA (according to
  Pat)
• New Partners
• States environmental agencies exchanging data for
  the first time
• States giving access to their data to other State
  Departments (one gave a copy of their Node Client
  for the other department to use to do a Query off
  their Node)

12
Year End Reflections

• We fell short on the State to EPA data flows but
  we learned these were harder throughout the year
• New data flows we werent expecting
• Hazardous waste transporters across states
• DEP/DEQ and DOH exchanges
• If we make the tools (schema, and NFC) and rules
  available..the Network works
• Proven by states being able to do flows quickly
  when these tools and Nodes are in place
• Success in reaching ultimate goal of obtaining
  critical mass on the Exchange Network.
• End of the year (last 2 months) momentum was
  greatstates just didnt get Nodes up but they
  started doing multiple flows.
