Minutes:

1)	WQX Project Status Report

Overall, the helpdesk email inbox has seen fairly low volume traffic, recently. The WQX development
team is still fully engaged on completing upgrades initiated by the log4j vulnerability. Again, WQX
did not have the log4j vulnerability, but upgrades were required nonetheless. As part of this
upgrade, WQX will be moving to a new server. There are several other significant upgrades expected
to be completed this quarter including an NGN node upgrade. We will notify the user community of
any expected interruptions to the WQX service.

There was an interruption to the Test environment in the last month, but that has been repaired
and it has now been upgraded to match Production.

2)	WQP Status Report

The new WQP data profiles are still being finalized, but they are in final review. The WQP
development team will be able to give us a better estimate of delivery to the Ul once they have the
final profiles in their hands, which will likely be on the order of several months. However, the wait
will likely be on the Ul development side, so the new profiles may be available as services prior to
being in the Ul.

We reviewed where to find the current data profile and profile field definitions on the new WQP
website, which are currently accessible via drop-down tables on the User Guide page.

We also reviewed a few of the most commonly reported user issues on thew new WQP Ul and we
noted that they would be considered and addressed during the next Ul development push (likely
several months until start). There was no new information on the ArcGis Online WFS issues.

3)	Open Discussion

Last meeting, there was a request to review Microcystin data submitted to WQX/WQP. All
microcystin data from the last 5 years was downloaded and made available for review in data
dashboards. Two dashboards, one based on the Activity profile, and one on the Results profile, were
reviewed to see how Microcystin data are being collected and reported. All data discovered were
water media sample chemical data, no tissue or toxicity data was found to be submitted over the
last five years.

No other issues were raised, so the meeting moved to adjournment.

4)	Adjournment

The meeting was closed at 12:40 PM.

Next meeting is scheduled for Mar 24, 2022 at 12 PM EST.
