Modern STORET Implementation

Why Move From a Working Database To STORET:

•Originally a Dept. of Health Wang Application•Database Housed on Dept. of Health Hardware•Paid Dept. of Health $--- per Year for Support•Application Support Provided Dept. of Health

•Only Two Appx Programmers in the State•Incumbent Programmer Left Dept. of Health

•Application Software Outdated•Biological Data not Stored in Database•Chronic Standards Not Stored or Reported•Data Retrieval Limited Access



Utilize and Enhance Modernized EPA STORET

Pro’s:•Easy Transfer of Data to EPA•Application Follows WQ Business Process•DEQ Supported Database•EPA Support, Updates and Enhancements

Con’s:•Does Not Support DEQ Unique Needs•Data Entry is Awkward •Data Transfer from Appx



First Accomplishments

•Historical Data Migrated to Modernized STORET

•STORET Input Module Developed DEQ/WQ, Region VIII, Headquarters: Cooperative



•Using SIM as a major import tool for:•Field/Multi-probe data•Chemical Data•Macroinvertebrate Data•Periphyton/Phytoplankton Data•Habitat Assesment Data

•Batch update process is used for lake profile data

STORET Database Comprised of Tables

Tables Owned by User STORET Read OnlyCharacteristics, Units of Measure, Field Gear,Hydrological Units

Tables Owned by User STORET1 - Read/Write AbilityStations, Station Visits, Trips, Samples,Results, Field Measurements/Observations

Tables Owned by SIM2 - Data Entry Transition TablesStations, Station Visits, Samples, Results

Tables Owned by UTAHDWQ - Read/Write AbilityUtah Water Quality Specific Tables

Water Quality Standards, Use Designations, Transition Tables









Trip Module

Our monitoring strategy consists of “runs” that are repeated

All our projects are built into these comprehensive runs

We share and coordinate software with our Chemical Laboratory






Reporting Module

We have built about 20 reports to meet our programs needs

Reports can be run against station groups

Reports can exported in a variety of electronic formats




The STORET database does not meet the needs of individual programs. Because monitoring program methods and goals are as diverse as our country, it would be impossible to meet the needs of every individual program. STORET does provide the basic tables and appropriate element relationships necessary for any program to store data. The STORET database provides an excellent “starter” database that can be customized to meet the requirements of individual programs
