Mission Statement

Utilizing cutting-edge technologies to deliver turnkey system solutions that re-engineer our clients' environmental compliance practices to provide efficient information and resource management while saving costs and protecting our environment.

Project Experience

enfoTech maintains close relationships with federal agencies, states, water utilities, and municipalities, playing a significant role in the shaping of environmental regulatory standards. Currently, the state agencies are working to standardize the method of information exchange in the environmental area.

For Industrial Wastewater Control and Pretreatment:
enfoTech maintains the national leadership in the development and implementation of industrial wastewater control and pretreatment systems. We have successfully implemented the PACS family of products and services at over 100 water utilities nation-wide and overseas. Our staff has over 200 man—years of pretreatment system project experience that uniquely positions us to provide you with a world-class project team and unsurpassed project knowledge/experiences for successful project implementation.

For Pharmaceutical Industry:
enfoTech leads the nation in delivering pharmaceutical industries with the most comprehensive air emission calculations and compliance monitoring system for meeting the Title V and MACT requirements. We have successfully implemented the CAIMS system at most of the major pharmaceutical companies world-wide. CAIMS is widely accepted as the "standard air compliance system" among the pharmaceutical industry.

For e-Environmental under the e-Government Initiative:
enfoTech delivered the nation's first and only XML and Internet based electronic environmental system (E2) for e-environmental applications. The E2 adopts the emerging XML technology and is consistent with the CROMERR security requirements. We have successfully implemented the E2 at two large states to streamline state-wide compliance monitoring reporting from facility-to-state. Our technical team is ready to share with you our success stories and help you to become e-environmental.

For National Environmental Information Exchange Network (Exchange Network):
The Exchange Network is aimed to facilitate and make readily available quality environmental data among the EPA, state agencies, and other partners. With increased access to environmental data, the involved parties hope to provide for timely and sound environmental decision-making.

enfoTech is currently partnering with the following agencies and work groups for Network Exchange related projects:

Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ)

NPDES Compliance Information System (NMS)
Developed and implemented a statewide NMS for tracking applications, permitting, generating discharge monitoring reports (DMRs), compliance and enforcement.

Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (e-DMR)
Implemented E2 reporting system for DMR reports between wastewater treatment facilities and the state environmental authority.

Exchange Network Node*
Established Node and DMR data flow from NMS to the CDX using XML through a US EPA Readiness grant from the state of Michigan.

*The Central Data Exchange: Environmental Protection Agency has established a single portal on the Web for environmental data entering EPA. The CDX offers companies, States, Tribes and other entities a faster, easier, more secure reporting option.

Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP)

e-DMR
Implemented the E2 Reporting System for DMR reports from the facility to the FDEP; integrated E2 with WAFR (FDEP state-wide NPDES permit and DMR management system).

Wastewater Facility Reporting (WAFR) System
Designed compliance and enforcement module to integrate with statewide WAFR system that manages NPDES permits and DMR data.

e-DMR XML Schema Development Project

Developed e-DMR XML schema for workgroup under the CDX charged with issuing a standard XML schema for Discharge Monitoring Reporting (DMR).

Group members included representatives from the US EPA, the states of Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and the Environmental Council of States (ECOS). enfoTech & Consulting, Inc., Concurrent Technology Corporation, and Ross & Associates supported the project.

FDAT2 and e-DMR XML Schema Harmonization Project

Harmonized e-DMR XML schema with the facility schema to provide re-usability of common modules, enhanced interoperability of data flow across the Environmental Exchange Network conforming to the US EPA XML TAG Naming Standards.

Facility Data Action Team: Designed to integrate regulatory and place-based information by developing facility identification records database that link to EPA program system records, test data exchange mechanism and protocols, and identify and resolve practices related to the authority of facility information.


e-DWR XML Schema Development

Development of e-DWR schema for workgroup under the CDX that is charged with issuing a standard XML schema for Drinking Water Reports (including MOR, lab data, lead & copper, bacteria data, plant operational data, UCMR data).

Group members include representatives from the US EPA, the states of Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Montana, and Wisconsin, and ECOS. enfoTech is the lead consultant supporting this project.

e-DMR Challenge Grant Project

enfoTech is the project facilitator and technical consultant for the e-DMR Challenge Grant Project. This 12-month project was awarded to help the 9 member states (MI [lead state], FL, PA, NY, TX, WI, MN, IN, RI), and USEPA advance their capability to participate in the Exchange Network.

enfoTech is working with the lead states of Michigan and Florida to develop two main components:

  • Security and Data Exchange Technology assessment and development of toolsets to assist Exchange Network data exchange: This involves a technology gap analysis and development of an e-DMR Toolset that can assist states that wish to work with the TRG-approved e-DMR schema.

  • State implementation of e-DMR data exchange capabilities with e-DMR XML schema: This involves the pilot testing and development of a prototype data exchange system for electronic transmission of discharge monitoring reports and reporting requirements (DMRs) using the new TRG-approved e-DMR XML schema.

Electronic Storage and Sharing of Laboratory Information Challenge Grant Project

enfoTech is the project facilitator for this project, which includes members from 5 states (NH [lead state], ME, NJ, RI, VT) and EPA Region 1. Members are working to implement a process of electronic data flow directly from the laboratories to the State Drinking Water Programs (in keeping with the CROMERR rule) and ultimately to EPA via the Network node. enfoTech is assisting with the development of an Internet template and file transfer procedure for introducing data into the State databases, developing a consistent set of data elements, business rules and validation criteria to ensure accurate and reliable information in the database.
