IDEM's External Data Framework: Creating New Opportunities for Collaboration


Hellbender

Aired: December 10, 2014 from noon to 1pm Eastern

In early 2015, IDEM will begin implementation of its External Data Framework (EDF). The EDF was developed by IDEM’s Office of Water Quality (OWQ) to provide a systematic, transparent, and voluntary process for external organizations to submit their water quality data to IDEM for consideration in various OWQ programs. In addition to describing OWQ’s internal processes for reviewing secondary data, the EDF also provides guidance and recommendations that external organizations can use to develop their own monitoring plans, improve the quality of the data they collect and determine whether data they obtain from others is suitable for use in their own projects.
