The SPDES Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP), which is administered by the Department of Environmental Conservation (the Department), regulates stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity from a point source. The MSGP covers thirty one different industrial sectors which include activities such as mining, land transportation, and scrap recycling. The dataset displays information on facilities that have active MSGP coverage in New York State. Information included in the data set include the facility’s name, address, contact information, industrial sector(s), discharging waterbody, and location of the facility’s Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. For more information, please go to http://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/62803.html.

This dataset shows Brownfield Cleanup Program (BCP) Sites that have been completed and issued a Certificate of Completion (COC) in the State of New York. Included in the data is the program site identification number; site name; site locality; site acreage; year certificate issued; length of time from the date the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) approved the BCP application to the date the COC was issued; and, highest allowable future use for the site and its potential redevelopment (as determined by: remedial program soil cleanup objectives; see 6NYCRR Part 375-6: http://www.dec.ny.gov/regs/15507.html.)

The New York State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) has been approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency for the control of wastewater and stormwater discharges in accordance with the Clean Water Act. Under New York State law the program is broader in scope than that required by the Clean Water Act in that it controls point source discharges to groundwaters as well as surface waters. Each municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) must operate under an individual SPDES permit that defines the parameters under which it is allowed to discharge to the waters of New York State. The SPDES database contains the following data on each permit: ownership, effective dates, locations, and receiving waters. Data is routinely updated based on the data collection methodology, and this dataset will be updated monthly. Additional information regarding NYS DEC’s SPDES Program, including online data in various formats, is available athttp://www.dec.ny.gov/permits/6054.html.

This dataset contains records of spills of petroleum and other hazardous materials. Under State law and regulations, spills that could pollute the lands or waters of the state must be reported by the spiller (and, in some cases, by anyone who has knowledge of the spill). Examples of what may be included in a spill record includes: Administrative information (DEC region and unique seven-digit spill number). Program facility name. Spill date/time. Location. Spill source and cause. Material(s) and material type spilled. Quantity spilled and recovered. Units measured. Surface water bodies affected. Close date (cleanup activity finished and all paperwork completed).

The Database also includes the "Registry of Institutional and Engineering Controls in New York State".

Each site record includes: Administrative information, including site name, classification, unique site code, site location, and site owner(s). Institutional and Engineering Controls implemented at the site. Wastes known or thought to be disposed at the site.

The NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) collects and maintains several datasets on the locations, distribution and status of species of plants and animals. Information on distribution by county from the following three databases was extracted and compiled into this dataset. First, the New York Natural Heritage Program biodiversity database: Rare animals, rare plants, and significant natural communities. Significant natural communities are rare or high-quality wetlands, forests, grasslands, ponds, streams, and other types of habitats. Next, the 2nd NYS Breeding Bird Atlas Project database: Birds documented as breeding during the atlas project from 2000-2005. And last, DEC’s NYS Reptile and Amphibian Database: Reptiles and amphibians; most records are from the NYS Amphibian & Reptile Atlas Project (Herp Atlas) from 1990-1999.

easterly along Route 29 to its junction with Route 4, thence northerly along Route 4 to its
junction with Route 22, thence northerly and westerly along Route 22 to the eastern shore of
South Bay on Lake Champlain in the village of Whitehall, thence northerly along the eastern
shore of South Bay to the New York-Vermont boundary.

This data set provides the water quality classifications of New York State's lakes, rivers, streams and ponds, collectively referred to as waterbodies. All water bodies in the state are provided a water quality classification based on existing, or expected best usage, of each waterbody or waterbody segment. Under New York State's Environmental Conservation Law (ECL), Title 5 of Article 15, certain waters of the state are protected on the basis of their classification. Streams and small waterbodies located in the course of a stream that are designated as C (T) or higher (i.e., C (TS), B, or A) are collectively referred to as "protected streams."

Water well construction data collected since April 2000 as required by ECL 15-1525.
