Transfer Oil and Gas Initiative Technology to DENR's 37 FoxPro Databases Conversion Project
DENR's Vision for Using Technology - boost productivity, efficiency, effectiveness, communication, and services to our customers.
Water showed DENR uses 64% fewer staff than the staffing model
(i.e. 10.4 vs. 29 FTE). EPA wrote: "A large part of this success is
based on DENR is one of only ten states that has built its own monitoring and compliance database using FoxPro. The EPA Re- view Team was impressed with the ease of use as well as many beneficial automation features that DENR has built within the Fox- Pro application."

Protecting Human Health: Drinking Water Case Study
Public Health Outbreak at Sheridan Lake Highlands Subdivision Averted - After E. coli were found throughout the system, DENR worked with the certified
super chlorinated, and install an in-line chlorine analyzer. The following chronology documents how the drinking water regulations worked to protect public health.
Chronology
McIntire from DENR had weekend phone duty. Earlier in the week a home owner decided to take a bacteriological sample at his home to be sure all was well after a lengthy absence. The results came back from the lab as unsafe and positive for both total coliform and E. coli. This prompted the homeowner to call Mr. Sage, who went out to check the system and found the chlorinator at the well was not
back positive for E. coli. He had a "Do Not Drink/Boil" order posted
Monday, 7/15: Al Sage called us again to consult with what he needed to do. We told him to collect both additional raw and treated water samples from the well and water distribution system. Wednesday, 7 /17: Al Sage called back with results from Monday's samples. All of the raw well water samples we requested came back positive for E. coli. All of the distribution system samples came back
ground water rule requires a minimum disinfection level that will inactivate 99.99% of the bacteria. An
went back out to the development in the afternoon and super chlorinated the well. He flushed the well until he no longer detected chlorine residual and collected more samples. We also stressed that he continue to keep residents aware. Friday 7/19: Al called us Friday afternoon to ask what DENR could do to help determine the
felt the home owners would want to determine the source of the E. coli contamination and have that source isolated or removed so that it didn't continue to contaminate the well. Linda Harris from DEN R's Rapid City office met Al on site late Friday afternoon. They concurred there were a few homes with
Wednesday, 7/24: DENR called Al to discuss our calculations for the length of chlorine contact time needed under the rules. The good news was the time was relatively short - about 8 minutes at a concentration of 1 mg/I chlorine. Al said he consulted with the developer and there is about 1,000 feet
the line will give the system the chlorine contact time necessary to meet the requirements. Friday, 8/2: Al Sage emailed his proposal to install an in-line chlorine analyzer in the well house. Linda Harris verified the flow and volume. The in-line analyzer will not only provide continuous chlorine levels, but will also send an alarm if the chlorine level drops.
