Recommendation 1: Reduce Project’s Scope

An explicit definition of CIWQS’ core regulatory functions has been established - DONE

The Steering Committee has reviewed and approved this definition - DONE

All members of the CIWQS team understand and agree with the redefined scope - DONE

CIWQS Definition and Scope

General functionality provided by CIWQS Water Board Programs utilizing CIWQS Receive, manage and provide data

submitted by regulated entities for the following…

External interfaces with other systems

55


General functionality provided by CIWQS:• Permit and Order tracking

(Party/Place/Regulatory Measure)• Track inspections• Track self-monitoring reports• Manage violations and enforcement activities Reporting of regulatory information both

internally and externally, including to the public

66


Water Board Programs utilizing CIWQS:• NPDES (discharges to surface waters)• WDR (discharges to land or non-federal

water)• Landfills• Storm Water• Water Rights (eWRIMS)• Irrigated Lands [for enforcement and billing

only]

77


Receive, manage and provide data submitted by regulated entities for the following:

• Online reporting of sanitary sewer overflows (SSO)• Online submittal of Storm Water annual reports

(SWARM)• Online submittal of NPDES self-monitoring reports

(eSMR)• Online enrollment in Storm Water General Permits

(SWPAP) [under development, will replace SWARM]• Online submittal of water use data [new functionality;

under development]

88


External interfaces with other systems:• Water Boards billing system (Automated Fee

Billing System (AFBS) or successor)• U.S. EPA’s NPDES tracking system

(PCS/ICIS) [under consideration]• Electronic Content Management [in pilot

testing]

99

Modules Since Last Review

Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) module Online reporting of sanitary sewer spills

Water Rights Information Management System (eWRIMS) Replaced old water rights system Has large GIS component Connects at Party and Place tables

be added to existing system Long range plans undetermined

CIWQS and PCS/ICIS-NPDES

Can two systems work together and complement each other?

1313


Both systems have to exist – have functionality that is unique to each CIWQS: billing, NPDES/WDR overlap, Self-

monitoring reporting (SMR), mandated reporting [WC 13385(o)], etc…

PCS/ICISN-PDES:Discharger Monitoring Reporting (DMR), automated determination of compliance, compilation of QNCR, etc…

1414


Approaches CIWQS feeds PCS/ICIS-NDES – tried that Modify PCS/ICIS-NDES to CA needs – won’t

happen Co-manage both systems together to exploit

strengths of each – common middle ground

1515


Water Board Approach Commit to managing information in PCS/ICIS-

NDES Will look at small defined data flows, both

ways between systems, when able, but until then will make sure data is entered into PCS/ICIS-NDES

Incorporate PCS/ICIS-NDES reporting into program management

1616

Principle Operating Directives

Rules to live by!

1717


Purpose of CIWQS – Primarily a regulatory information management system to: Manage business processes Work in conjunction with other data systems Inform decisions Provide accountability

Secondary role is for automation

1818


Expansion of CIWQS Only add new modules when existing needs

met The need for new module has been identified

and justified Resources for the new module are available

and have been adequately allocated There is common data and functionality

between new module and CIWQS

Changing the approach so that this is not an oxymoron.
