This data set provides the water quality classifications of New York State's lakes, rivers, streams and ponds, collectively referred to as water bodies. All water bodies in the state are provided a water quality classification based on existing, or expected best usage, of each water body or water body 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 water bodies 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.For more information see https://dec.ny.gov/environmental-protection/water/water-quality/standards-classifications1. The public should not make any business decisions and/or financial commitments based on the water quality classification data until they have secured the necessary permissions from the Department of Environmental Conservation. 2.

A 6-in resolution 8-class land cover dataset derived from the 2017 Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data capture. This dataset was developed as part of an updated urban tree canopy assessment and therefore represents a ''top-down" mapping perspective in which tree canopy overhanging features is assigned to the tree canopy class. The eight land cover classes mapped were: (1) Tree Canopy, (2) Grass\Shrubs, (3) Bare Soil, (4) Water, (5) Buildings, (6) Roads, (7) Other Impervious, and (8) Railroads. The primary sources used to derive this land cover layer were 2017 LiDAR (1-ft post spacing) and 2016 4-band orthoimagery (0.5-ft resolution). Object based image analysis was used to automate land-cover features using LiDAR point clouds and derivatives, orthoimagery, and vector GIS datasets -- City Boundary (2017, NYC DoITT) Buildings (2017, NYC DoITT) Hydrography (2014, NYC DoITT) LiDAR Hydro Breaklines (2017, NYC DoITT) Transportation Structures (2014, NYC DoITT) Roadbed (2014, NYC DoITT) Road Centerlines (2014, NYC DoITT) Railroads (2014, NYC DoITT) Green Roofs (date unknown, NYC Parks) Parking Lots (2014, NYC DoITT) Parks (2016, NYC Parks) Sidewalks (2014, NYC DoITT) Synthetic Turf (2018, NYC Parks) Wetlands (2014, NYC Parks) Shoreline (2014, NYC DoITT) Plazas (2014, NYC DoITT) Utility Poles (2014, ConEdison via NYCEM) Athletic Facilities (2017, NYC Parks)

For the purposes of classification, only vegetation > 8 ft were classed as Tree Canopy. Vegetation below 8 ft was classed as Grass/Shrub.

This is a running list of all water quality complaint types logged in Hansen.

Each record is either an individual drinking fountain or multiple drinking fountains that are attached to each other. NYC Parks created the dataset using collector for arcgis. All outdoor drinking fountains in parks were collected and a rigorous QA/QC process followed. In addition to the GPS coordinates the dataset includes descriptions of its physical environment and attributes about the drinking fountain itself.

The purpose of the State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) Program is to protect human health and the environment. The SPDES permit program in the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation's Division of Water regulates municipal, industrial, private, commercial and institutional wastewater treatment facilities that discharge to the groundwaters as well as surface waters of New York State.Service layer is updated as needed and was last updated August 2022.For more information or to download layer see http://gis.ny.gov/gisdata/inventories/details.cfm?DSID=1010Download the metadata to learn more information about how the data was created and details about the attributes.
