Managing your GIS/Asset Management Data: develop a work-flow oriented approach to data management B. Scott Southall, PLA, AICP, LEED AP BD+C Vice-President
Era of Big Data:
How do you eat an elephant?
What do we track? Construction sites: Sediment Solid and sanitary wastes Phosphorous (fertilizer) Nitrogen (fertilizer) Pesticides Oil and grease Concrete truck washout Construction chemicals Construction debris
Construction Site Runoff Control
What do we track? Illicit Discharges: Sanitary wastewater Effluent from septic tanks Car wash wastewaters Improper oil disposal Radiator flushing disposal Laundry wastewaters Spills from roadway accidents Improper disposal of auto household toxics
What do we track? Post Construction: Water quantity facilities Water quality facilities Groundwater recharge TSS removal Oil and Grease Floatables BMPs Structural vs non-structural controls Operation and Maintenance
What do we track? MS4 Program: Qualitative & Quantitative Data Management Program of the MCMs Infrastructure Assets Outfalls Curb Inlets Retention/Detention Facilities Construction Site Inventory Public Interaction Inspection Activities BMP Implementation Employee Training
How do we track it?
How do we track it? Paper forms Clip boards Camera Filing cabinet Desktop computer Laptop computer
How do we track it?
How do we track it?
How do we track it? O.H.I.O. O only H handle I it O -once
Why we track it? Compliance Division of Water, EPA Permit - SWQMP Ordinance MCM Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) Building Inspection Code Enforcement Someone told me
Why we track it? Annual Reports Summarize field inspection program Summarize public involvement and education activities Document actions Corrective Enforcement Maintenance Evaluate BMP effectiveness
Why we track it? Compliance Goal Improved Water Quality Data = Planning = Improvement
It s All About Reporting: Streamline It What does a stormwater program look like without a database when reports are due?
SWQMP: Stormwater Program Goals Demonstrate Compliance with the Storm Water Management Program (SWQMP) Measure Effectiveness of BMPs Manage inspections and inspection schedules Provide Documentation of Compliance
SWQMP - MCM Information Elements Manages Program Requirements and Infrastructure Inventory Inventory is the Management Mechanism to Track Permit-Required Activities Field inspections Analytical monitoring Special inspections Work order requests and associated costs Log photos for individual records Elimination of illicit discharges and connections Enforcement activities Geospatial referencing of MCM activities
Now what???
