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.
