Ozone Depleting Substances Tracking System (ODS CBI)
The U.S. EPA’s Stratospheric Ozone Protection Program regulates controlled ozone depleting substances (ODS) under Title VI of the Clean Air Act (CAA). EPA requires regulated entities to report data, such as the type and quantity of the ODS produced, imported, and/or exported. Entities submit this data, which contains Confidential Business Information (CBI), to EPA in reports on a quarterly, annual, and/or transactional basis. Data is then recorded and subsequently maintained securely in the ODS Tracking System, operated by EPA Headquarters.

The PHASE dataflow will provide air quality data specifically OZONE and PM 2.5 data for use in CDCs EPHT program. The flow will leverage the Node 2.0 technology with node clients submitting data through CDX to CDC using the new submit with recipients method.
Radiation Network(RadNet)
RadNet is a national network of monitoring stations that regularly collect air, precipitation, drinking water, and milk samples for analysis of radioactivity. The RadNet network, which has stations in each State, has been used to track environmental releases of radioactivity from nuclear weapons tests and nuclear accidents. Future uses of this network might include monitoring waste disposal and radioactive cleanup sites. RadNet also documents the status and trends of environmental radioactivity; these data are published by NAREL in a quarterly report entitled Environmental Radiation Data. Previously this was a paper only publication, but it is now being published online as well.

releases and other waste management activities reported annually
by certain industry groups as well as federal facilities to EPA and States. The TRI State Data Exchange allows simultaneous electronic reporting to EPA and States using the Toxic Release Inventory-Made Easy (TRI-ME) software.
Underground Injection Control
Underground injection is the technology of placing fluids underground, in porous formations of rocks, through wells or other similar conveyance systems. While rocks such as sandstone, shale, limestone appear to be solid, they can contain significant voids or pores that allow water and other fluids to fill and move through them. Man-made or produced fluids (liquids, gases or slurries) can move into the pores of rocks by the use of pumps or by gravity. The fluids may be water, wastewater or water mixed with chemicals. Injection well technology can predict the capacity of rocks to contain fluids and the technical details to do so safely.
Vehicle Engine Regulation Information For You (VERIFY)
Verify Vehicle and Engines Compliance Information System is one part of the larger Compliance Information System (CIS) maintained by the Office of Transportation and Air Quality (OTAQ). It will consolidate information collected in separate legacy systems including the Certification and Fuel Economy Information System (CFEIS), the Motorcycle System, and the Engine Information Management System (EIMS). Data pertaining to engine emissions and fuel economy are submitted by motor vehicle manufacturers.
Water Contaminant Information Tool (WCIT)
The WCIT is an electronic database for tracking and managing current
information on priority, nontraditional water contaminants, such
as those that are not significant from a regulatory or operational
perspective, but which could have substantial adverse consequences
to the public and/or utility if accidentally or intentionally introduced
into the drinking water. Will also include the National Environmental Methods Index for Chemical, Biological, and Radiological Methods (NEMI CBR).
Water Quality Exchange (WQX)
WQX allows Network partners to share ambient water quality data with the U.S. EPA. The WQX System includes the following types of data: the physical conditions in the environment at the time of a site visit; the chemical and bacteriological make-up of the water sampled; and chemical analyses of fish tissue collected. WQX represents the next evolution for EPA's STORET model for sharing water quality data. EPA will transition away from a distributed database model towards the Exchange Network model for the sharing of data. This transition is expected to be fully completed in 2009.
