- The user can view ambient environmental data points by selecting an environmental parameters and timeframes

- The user can zoom in on any neighborhood and select an individual building. Basic characteristics will be displayed for a selected building, including: Block / Lot / BIN etc. - to be defined - Whether the building is scheduled to be cleaned or has been cleaned by DEP contractors or other parties will be noted

- Environmental monitoring data obtained from within or on the exterior of the building (if any) will be presented in summary fashion - to be defined (some data may not be accessible to the public for legal reasons)

- Selecting a specific parameter on the data summary page will call up spreadsheets containing detailed environmental monitoring data for that parameter

The environmental data present complexities. We have probably >200,000 individual analytical results. Some buildings will have no environmental data; others will have a large amount of data across a variety of contaminants, as well as variations in reporting formats, sampling durations, sampling methods, units of measurements, etc. We need to decide whether it is desirable/feasible to "clean and standardize" all the environmental data or present data sets as they currently exist, with consideration of the costs and timeframes associated with these options.

Meeting Agenda:

- The "end product" - what we want it to provide and when we want it to be functional - Update on buildings inventory - Develop a list of all building characteristics fields - Identify all environmental data sets by agency - "Clean & standardize" v. data "as is" - Database architecture development: process and timeframe
