**Notes**:

1)  **Freq**: How frequently manually intervention is needed to maintain
    datastream:\
    **low**: datastream mostly automated, very little intervention
    required,\
    **med**: Occasionally need to manually pick up data or stations are
    added.\
    **high**: Always manual, many frequent updates to datastream.

2)  **Effort**: How much effort is needed when maintenance is needed:\
    **low**: Only minor changes to scripts necessary or simple change to
    configuration file;\
    **med**: Ingest & DOD changes required to maintain datastream.\
    **high**: Ingest & DOD changes required maintaining datastream and
    ingesting or processing scripts require significant resources to
    modify.
