Tribal Open Dumps Data System
The Tribal Open Dumps Data System (TODDS) is being created by Gold Systems, Inc. in coordination with the Otoe Missouria Tribe and partners in Oklahoma. TODDS allows tribal users to log and track open dump sites for their organization. Users will be able to research historical data on open dump sites and associated surveys.
THE FIRST VERSION OF TODDS IS ANTICIPATED TO BE AVAILABLE WITH THE AWQMS 8.0 RELEASE IN SPRING 2021, OR SHORTLY THEREAFTER.
In addition to the main capability of being able to manage and review the open dump site and survey information, TODDS has the following valuable features:
TODDS forms provide integrated picklists that drastically reduce the amount of data entry required and which assure consistency of data entry.
As survey information is entered for an open dump site, a suggested health threat score will be auto-calculated and displayed for the user.
Documentation, such as digital photos can be attached to site and survey records
Users can generate an Open Dump Site Report as a .pdf file in the official format used by EPA and IHS. The form could be printed and turned in or emailed as an attachment to the proper EPA or IHS authority. The .pdf can be generated as a zip file; bundled with associated attached documents and images.
Open Dump Sites and Surveys can be researched using a complex filter; or by using a quick keyword search.
TODDS has a Web Feature Service (WFS) that allows Open Dump sites geographical information and associated site meta-data to be integrated into other GIS tools, such as ESRI.
TODDS open dump sites will be shown on the Gold Systems Environmental Suite integrated portal map (e.g. alongside AWQMS water quality monitoring locations).
Open Dump sites and surveys an organization has flagged as “public” are available (published) via the EPA Exchange Network Virtual Exchange Services.
