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.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation requires shipments of hazardous waste from small and large quantity generators be tracked using a hazardous waste manifest. This tracking document must contain the names and addresses of the generator of the waste, transporter of the waste, and the destination facility of the waste. The manifest is also used to track the types and quantities of wastes being shipped as well as shipments that are rejected or re-directed.

This dataset provides the complete, detailed emission totals used to inform the New York State Statewide Greenhouse Gas Emissions Report - a foundational component of the State’s strategy for addressing climate change. This emission inventory is designed to meet the requirements of the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA), measure progress at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and to make greenhouse gas information accessible to a broad audience. This dataset provides the most up-to-date estimation of annual emissions beginning 1990 through the most current year available.
