Data Systems Development under the Bureau
of Loans and Data Management, is responsible
for assisting in the development of electronic
data management systems in support of the
Division of Water Supply.
Data Systems Development and Data
Systems Implementation coordinate to
support the Division of Water Supply’s
continuous need to consolidate, update,
enhance, test, implement, and provide user
support for data management systems to
ensure that the database applications satisfy
the regulatory and business process needs
of the Division and increase overall program
efficiencies.
Data Systems Development Goals
The combined impact of the data management
systems, including NJEMS, SDWIS/State, E2
Reporting System, and others, is to provide
New Jersey with greatly enhanced capabilities
to maintain various Water Supply program
data, e.g., Safe Drinking Water, Private
Well Testing, Water Resource Allocation,
Well Permit, Geographic Information Systems,
and continuing opportunities to improve compliance
decisions and federal reporting capabilities.
The NJDEP proposes to perform additional
development and implementation work in 2006,
and in the future, in order to:
- more fully utilize the available functionality
built into NJEMS and SDWIS/State;
- continue to implement SDWIS/State 8.0;
- perform data clean-up and validation,
investigate errors and data problems, to
improve data management for Water Supply
in NJEMS, SDWIS/State, and HighView;
- create, improve, and maintain Business
Objects Universes for Water Supply in NJEMS
and SDWIS/State;
- develop additional critical business/corporate
data verification, query, report, management,
and performance capabilities in NJEMS,
SDWIS/State, and New Jersey E2 Reporting
System;
- develop additional public access reports,
as appropriate, for data in NJEMS and SDWIS/State,
available through the NJDEP web;
- enhance drinking water system monitoring
analytical data management, including selected
modules developed by other States using
SDWIS/State;
- consider enhancements to Drinking Water
Watch;
- continue to implement SDWIS/FedRep, in
support of the USEPA effort to modernize
SDWIS/FED;
- implement the New Jersey Electronic Environmental
(E2) Reporting System as the New Jersey
electronic laboratory-to-State data exchange
XML schema to facilitate reporting requirements
in accordance with the Safe Drinking Water
Act and the Private Well Testing Act;
- consider future enhancements to the New
Jersey Electronic Environmental (E2) Reporting
System for the Safe Drinking Water Act
and the Private Well Testing Act;
- consider future enhancements to the COMPASS
database system for the Private Well Testing
Act;
- move or migrate legacy PWTA data to the
COMPASS database system;
- install SDWIS/State web release 1 (SSwr1),
migrate data from SDWIS/State 8.0, and
implement SSwr1 and subsequent releases;
- evaluate and determine the need to develop
any legacy computer application to provide
a user-friendly format for any drinking
water data not migrated from NJPWS to SDWIS/State;
- Design, develop, test, and implement
an electronic data interface between NJEMS
and SDWIS/State to maintain data integrity
between the two data systems, to reduce
duplicate manual data entry into each data
system, and to electronically transfer
data concerning drinking water systems,
including inventory, violations, and enforcement
actions;
- enhance the NJEMS-SDWIS/State Interface
for compatibility with SSwr1;
- enhance the New Jersey Electronic Environmental
(E2) Reporting System for compatibility
with SSwr1;
- develop and implement additional electronic
data flow initiatives, e.g., Permitting
to allow electronic submission of permit
applications and related data submissions
through web-based applications;
- plan, design, develop improvements to
the NJDEP electronic document management
and imaging systems, currently in HighView;
- develop an interface application to integrate
the HighView imaging system with NJEMS
to make the images readily available to
the NJDEP users and to the public, as appropriate.
- provide computer, database, and related
electronic hardware and software upgrades;
- consider authorizing and providing web-based
access applicable to County Environmental
Health Authority (CEHA) agencies to enter
and update data into NJEMS and SDWIS/State
concerning drinking water systems, including
inventory, violations and enforcement actions;
- consider and develop enhancements to
the Geographic Information Systems capabilities
in support of the NJDEP Water Supply programs;
- enhance and promote greater use of the
Water Supply Internet web for public and
interested outside agency access;
- consider
development of a Water Supply Intranet
web for NJDEP access; and
- enhance computer applications to facilitate
environmental decision making as required
under the Safe Drinking Water Act, or as
required in support of the NJDEP Water
Supply programs:
