iTouchMap.com Latitude and Longitude of a Point Browser |
This iTouchMap.com Latitude and Longitude of a Point Browser, will assist users to locate and box an area of interest. This allows users to query data and summary information available within a given latitude/longitude bounding box. Two diagonal points can be used to populate bounding box limits (north,south,east,west). Detail Instructions for plotting two diagonal reference points can be found via the warehouse application help file Click Here. Contact STORET@EPA.GOV for more information. |

The Catalogue is published as two products: |
EnviroMapper for Water |
A map-based query tool with access to Legacy and Modern STORET sampling stations. Using this tool, you can zoom in on any area of the United States, and examine the map for locations of streams, roads, political boundaries, and other features. You can add Legacy or Modern STORET water quality monitoring stations to the map, and select them for downloading data. |

Integration Test Tool - Node in the Exchange Network |
This application provides the ability to test any Node in the Exchange Network,
by triggering Network WSDL-compliant requests on that Node. If a Node passes a test with this tool,
if is very likely, if not guaranteed, that the Node will be interoperable with other Network WSDL-compliant
Nodes. This tool, which is intended to verify general compliance with the Functional Specification, focuses
on interoperability among Nodes.

Data Quality and Assessment Management Tools |
Data Quality Assessment is used to assess the type, quantity, and quality of data in order to verify that the planning objectives, Quality Assurance Project Plan components, and sample collection procedures were satisfied and that the data are suitable for its intended purpose. This link provides the EPA's documentations and tools to assess the data quality. |
Water Quality Assessment and ATTAINS |
The Assessment Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Tracking and Implementation System (ATTAINS) provides information reported by the states to EPA about the conditions in their surface waters. This information is required every two years under Clean Water Act Sections 305(b) and 303(d). |
National Aquatic Resource Surveys |
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, states, and tribes are conducting a series of national aquatic resource surveys. Often referred to as probability-based surveys, these studies report on core indicators of water condition using standardized field and lab methods. The surveys include a national quality assurance program and are designed to yield unbiased, statistically-representative estimates of the condition of the whole water resource (such as rivers and streams, lakes, ponds, and reservoirs, wetlands, etc). |
WATERS |
WATERS (Watershed Assessment, Tracking & Environmental ResultS) unites water quality information that was previously available only from several independent and unconnected databases. |
