EPA to Decommission Node Relay Service; Please Update Your Data Flow Endpoints 

June 9, 2020

On June 19, 2020, U.S. EPA’s Central Data Exchange (CDX) will be decommissioning one of its Exchange Network Node endpoints in order to increase operational efficiency and reduce maintenance costs. The retiring endpoint is associated with a seldom used service called the Node Relay located at https://noderelay.epa.gov/Node2/Node2WS.svc. The Node Relay endpoint was only used by a very limited number of partners for two active data flows, including Facility Identification 3.0  and the Emissions Inventory System (EIS).

Most partner agencies will not be impacted by this change. If you are still pointing your data flows to submit to the Node Relay endpoint, please update your settings to use https://node2.epa.gov/Node2WS.svc. Please make this change by June 19, 2020. After that date, the Node Relay endpoint will be decommissioned and data flows using that endpoint will fail. As a reminder, you can find a complete list of CDX Node endpoints for each data flow on the Exchange Network website. 

If you have any questions or need support, please contact the Exchange Network Node Help Desk at [email protected].

Background on the SDWIS Modernization Board

In January 2020, U.S. EPA and states initiated the SDWIS Modernization Board. The Board is guiding the SDWIS Modernization process, following the principles of the E-Enterprise Digital Strategy. Members include leaders from state and EPA drinking water programs and information management offices. See the full Board Membership here.

The first phase of Board activities has been focused on providing input to support an Alternatives Analysis of SDWIS modernization options. The Analysis will assess these options for a long-term replacement of SDWIS State that supports the data management needs of primacy agencies and U.S. EPA. The Alternatives Analysis is scheduled to be delivered at the end of June, with option selection in July.
