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."

THE NYSERDA 2022 SOILS DATA IS TO BE USED FOR NYSERDA’S PROCUREMENT PURPOSES OR THE NY-SUN PROGRAM AND IS NOT INTENDED TO REPRESENT ACTUAL IN SITU SOIL CONDITIONS.

NYSERDA has launched the Renewable Energy Standard (RES) request for proposals, RESRFP22-1, to continue accelerating progress towards New York’s goal of generating 70 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030. Through RESRFP22-1, NYSERDA seeks to procure approximately 4.5 million Tier 1 eligible Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) from eligible facilities that enter commercial operation on or after January 1, 2015 and on or before November 30, 2024, unless extended to November 30, 2027.

In order to facilitate the protection of agricultural lands, developers participating in RESRFP22-1 or the NY-Sun program may be responsible for making an agricultural mitigation payment to a designated fund based on the extent to which the solar project’s facility area overlaps with an Agricultural District and New York’s highly productive agricultural soils, identified as Mineral Soil Groups (MSG) classifications 1 through 4 (MSG 1-4). This mitigation approach is designed to discourage solar projects from siting on MSG 1-4. Furthermore, this mitigation approach is designed to encourage retaining agricultural productivity on the project site. Instances where Proposers cannot avoid or minimize impacts on MSG 1-4 will result in a payment to a fund administered by NYSERDA. Disbursement of collected agricultural mitigation payment funds will be informed by consultation with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets (AGM) to support ongoing regional agricultural practices and/or soil conservation initiatives.

This dataset contains a combination of soils data from multiple sources to serve participants of NYSERDA’s Large-Scale Renewable and NY-Sun programs. The NYSERDA 2022 Soils Data was created by converting the 2022 New York State Agricultural Land Classification master list of soils maintained by AGM to a tabular form and providing a corresponding unique identifier for each listed soil that enables the user to link the soils to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) SSURGO soils database, allowing for a geographical representation. When the NYSERDA 2022 Soils Data is joined with spatial data from the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) SSURGO soils database, the corresponding soil unit can be mapped in a geographic information system software. The latest version of the SSURGO database should be used to get the most accurate join. Data is updated yearly from both NRCS and from AGM, however, NYSERDA will not update this dataset and it will remain intact for future reference. NYSERDA intends on creating new soils datasets for future procurements on an annual basis.

The Utility Energy Registry (UER) is a database platform that provides streamlined public access to aggregated community-scale energy data. The UER is intended to promote and facilitate community-based energy planning and energy use awareness and engagement. On April 19, 2018, the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) issued the Order Adopting the Utility Energy Registry under regulatory CASE 17-M-0315, and updated the protocol in a modification order on August 12, 2021. The order requires utilities and CCA administrators under its regulation to develop and report community energy use data to the UER. This dataset includes electricity and natural gas usage data reported at the city, town, and village level. Other UER datasets include energy use data reported at the county and ZIP code level.

Data in the UER can be used for several important purposes such as planning community energy programs, developing community greenhouse gas emissions inventories, and relating how certain energy projects and policies may affect a particular community. It is important to note that the data are subject to privacy screening and fields that fail the privacy screen are withheld.

The New York Truck Voucher Incentive Program (NYTVIP), administered by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), reduces the cost for truck, transit, and school bus fleets to purchase zero-emission vehicle technologies. NYTVIP provides vouchers - or discounts - to fleets across New York State that purchase or lease medium- and heavy-duty, zero-emission battery electric (BEV) or hydrogen fuel cell electric (FCEV) vehicles.
Voucher amounts are determined by calculating the difference in cost between the zero-emission vehicle and a comparable diesel vehicle. A percentage of the difference (or “incremental cost”) is then used to determine an exact voucher amount, which is capped at a maximum dollar amount. Voucher incentive amounts may vary based on factors such as: vehicle type, weight class, and whether the vehicle operates in a Disadvantaged Community. All voucher amounts are subject to funding availability and applicable per-project caps.
To date, NYTVIP funding has come from two sources: the Volkswagen Environmental Mitigation Trust (VW Settlement) and from the U.S. Department of Transportation, Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Improvement Program. The dataset includes application information from the New York Truck Voucher Incentive Program (NYTVIP) since 2019.
