PCS has worked and continues to work to develop and maintain an information management system that:
- Allows the electronic tracking of the status of each Beneficial Use Impairment (BUI) and the required management actions and/or projects and potential projects that address the BUI;
- Has queries and report templates that assist Ohio EPA and PCS in reviewing the status of BUIs throughout the AOC;
- Has a web-based presentation of the information where stakeholders can review analytical data and projects, make inquiries about status of BUIs or the location of projects, see graphical representation of the AOC/BUI status; and
- Becomes an integral decision-making tool for setting priorities for implementing projects that will help achieve the goal of delisting BUIs.
The goal is to provide a comprehensive, interactive, searchable web-based DMDS that will meet its intended goal of a one-stop-shop watershed planning resource for all the Maumee AOC watersheds. Anyone interested may visit the Data Management and Delisting System (DMDS) and take a look around! Feel free to contact PCS with any questions about this exciting tool.
