This document discusses the EPA's use of infrastructure data for emergency response efforts. It notes that the EPA's emergency response has traditionally focused on oil and hazardous waste cleanup after disasters. However, the poor quality of drinking water and wastewater infrastructure data hampered the EPA's response to Hurricane Sandy. Address and location data for many facilities was missing, invalid, or in the wrong county. The EPA's Facility Registry Service helped fill some gaps by integrating data from other EPA programs and sources. The document calls for more reliable infrastructure data to better support emergency response, assessment of damage, and prioritization of aid.

EPA Emergency Response
• EPA ER focus has
traditionally been on ESF-10
(Oil and Hazardous Waste) –
shared with US Coast Guard
• Responses typically deal
with sampling, monitoring,
cleanup and remediation
after a disaster event
• Hurricanes, Flooding, BP
Deepwater Horizon,
Pipeline

EPA Use of HSIP
• Typically EPA has used
HSIP as a reference
layer, present in many
ER tools and Flex
Viewer applications
• Schools, Hospitals,
Vulnerable
Populations

Hurricane Sandy
• Hurricane Sandy highlighted a need for
infrastructure data – and exposed many
locational data quality issues in drinking
water/wastewater infrastructure
• Poor data quality hampered response analysis, triage and prioritization of
assessment of drinking water facilities
• EPA’s Facility Registry Service aided EPA
Region 2 Regional EOC for Hurricane Sandy
response

Many DQ issues

Vague, incomplete or
invalid address

Wrong county

Drinking water locational data
quality problems included
missing/invalid lat-long values,
wrong county, missing or vague
locations and other locational
data problems
Invalid lat-long data

Drinking Water
• Ultimately only a small percentage of SDWIS
facilities had any reliable, mappable
locational data at all, whether lat/longs, or
street addresses that could be geocoded
• Data gaps for infrastructure data can be filled
via data from other programs and states

FRS and Hurricane Sandy

Locational data gaps and
incorrect data in SDWIS, as well
as supplemental contact
information were filled in via EPA
Facility Registry Service (FRS)
data from other EPA program
data sources (TRI and others),
and by research by FRS stewards
using other public data sources.

Drinking Water
• The emergency response community needs
reliable data on drinking water infrastructure,
but currently that need is not easily being
met.
• Better locations could be found via other
systems, but this was a labor intensive,
manual process.
• Lack of reliable data slows response time.

Wastewater
• Permitting data collected by states via
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) – but is incomplete and poor
logic for querying Publicly Owned Treatment
Works (POTWs)
• New data coming online via Clean Watershed
Needs Survey (CWNS)

ER Infrastructure
Data Needs
• Ideally ER community should be able to
prioritize and triage in a response, for
example assessing infrastructure condition by
population served
• We find data needs to be tied to other
identifiers, i.e. state ID or other programs
• May need some additional attributes
• FRS team is looking at how to help fill gaps

Water Safety Plans (WSPs) are being implemented in various countries in South-East Asia to improve access to safe drinking water and reduce waterborne diseases. WSPs involve identifying hazards and risks from catchment to consumer, prioritizing the highest risks, and mitigating risks through control measures. The key drivers for WSPs are the WHO guidelines emphasizing risk assessment and management, and the need to prevent the majority of diarrheal diseases through safe water and hygiene. Countries that have implemented WSPs have seen benefits like improved water quality, reduced waterborne diseases, and more sustainable water supply systems.

Groundwater Contamination from Ammonia, Nitrate, & Nitrite: In Search of a R...

MECConference

This document discusses groundwater contamination from ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite in the Midwest region, specifically Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri. Agriculture and livestock production are common industries in these states that can contribute to groundwater contamination through pathways like feedlot infiltration and fertilizer application. A 1996 survey found nitrate levels exceeding standards in hundreds of water systems across the Midwest, affecting hundreds of thousands of people. Efforts are underway through education, facility management, monitoring, and technology to minimize the impacts, but a regional approach combining data and knowledge from various sources could help address this persistent problem.

The document discusses the Missouri Department of Natural Resources' (DNR) efforts to modernize its systems and move towards an integrated, electronic approach to managing environmental data. Approximately 40% of DNR's databases contain regulated entity data and 55% of databases could be integrated to improve data quality and efficiency. However, current systems store data separately and are outdated. The EPA has proposed an NPDES E-Reporting Rule that would require states like Missouri to electronically collect and report facility data and discharge monitoring reports to improve oversight. In response, DNR is developing the Missouri Gateway for Environmental Management (MoGEM) program to establish shared services, data standards, and a master data management system to meet upcoming electronic reporting deadlines and modern

Tackling The Challenges Of Agency File Reviews

EDR

Presentation by: Pat Coyne Fall 2013 DDD Tour One key area of revision in E 1527-13 clarifies when a review of agency files should be conducted during a Phase I environmental site assessment. For some consultants, the clarifying language on AFRs may raise the bar of what is typically conducted during a Phase I ESA. Agency file reviews can bring valuable information to a Phase I ESA investigation, but are not without their challenges. Depending on the target property involved, AFRs can vary in complexity, obtainability, location of files and level of effort. When the revised E 1527 standard takes effect later this year, you need to ensure that your reports adequately reflect the new language about when an agency file review should be conducted—and what to do if one cannot be conducted. This timely track will address the concerns and areas of confusion raised about the new requirements, including: What’s changing? Current industry practice in performing AFRs Differences from state to state in terms of availability of files, travel time required, responsiveness of agencies, and inconsistent/incomplete data Determining when an agency file review is and is not “reasonably ascertainable” Adequately pricing Phase I ESAs given the significant variability in the level of effort required How best to educate your clients about the new language

Perimeter Security Scenario Questions

Alex Pruden

Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security. Paper Link: https://eprint.iacr.org/2024/257

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server

Antonios Katsarakis

This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

2. EPA Emergency Response • EPA ER focus has traditionally been on ESF-10 (Oil and Hazardous Waste) – shared with US Coast Guard • Responses typically deal with sampling, monitoring, cleanup and remediation after a disaster event • Hurricanes, Flooding, BP Deepwater Horizon, Pipeline

3. EPA Use of HSIP • Typically EPA has used HSIP as a reference layer, present in many ER tools and Flex Viewer applications • Schools, Hospitals, Vulnerable Populations

4. Hurricane Sandy • Hurricane Sandy highlighted a need for infrastructure data – and exposed many locational data quality issues in drinking water/wastewater infrastructure • Poor data quality hampered response analysis, triage and prioritization of assessment of drinking water facilities • EPA’s Facility Registry Service aided EPA Region 2 Regional EOC for Hurricane Sandy response

5. Many DQ issues Vague, incomplete or invalid address Wrong county Drinking water locational data quality problems included missing/invalid lat-long values, wrong county, missing or vague locations and other locational data problems Invalid lat-long data

6. Drinking Water • Ultimately only a small percentage of SDWIS facilities had any reliable, mappable locational data at all, whether lat/longs, or street addresses that could be geocoded • Data gaps for infrastructure data can be filled via data from other programs and states

7. FRS and Hurricane Sandy Locational data gaps and incorrect data in SDWIS, as well as supplemental contact information were filled in via EPA Facility Registry Service (FRS) data from other EPA program data sources (TRI and others), and by research by FRS stewards using other public data sources.

8. Drinking Water • The emergency response community needs reliable data on drinking water infrastructure, but currently that need is not easily being met. • Better locations could be found via other systems, but this was a labor intensive, manual process. • Lack of reliable data slows response time.

9. Wastewater • Permitting data collected by states via National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) – but is incomplete and poor logic for querying Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) • New data coming online via Clean Watershed Needs Survey (CWNS)

10.
