DescriptionThe map shows the location where oil spills and brine spills have been documented by the US Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the State of North Dakota's Department of Health. LayersOil Spills- Pipeline SpillsThe types and relative volumes of oil spills are shown on the map using different colors of markers and sizes of the markers.Types include: Equipment Failures, Storage Failures, Vehicle Accidents, Wellhead SpillsSource: PHMSA.dot.govUpdated July 2019Uncontained Oil Spills by VolumeSpills that were not contained by the boundaries of oilwell pads were mapped, and the volumes of the spills are shown by the size of the marker.Source: https://deq.nd.gov/Spills/Data from Jan. 1, 2014-July 19, 2019North Dakota Brine Spills by VolumeBrine is the saline wastewater resulting from oil and gas exploration and production. It is enriched with a variety of toxic elements and compounds.Source: https://deq.nd.gov/Spills/Data from Jan. 1, 2014-July 19, 2019ND PipelinesThe layer shows the locations of major pipelines.Source: PHMSA.dot.govUpdated July 2019ND Oil FieldsThe layer shows the areal coverage of oil fields in North DakotaSource: https://www.dmr.nd.gov/OaGIMS/viewer.htmUpdated July 2019North Dakota Flood Plains - Mandatory InsuranceTo proactively assess and address flooding risks to the public, the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has developed the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). This program was created by Congress in 1968 to help provide a means for property owners holding federally backed mortgages to financially protect themselves in the event of a flood. Flood insurance is mandatory if you live in a high-risk area and have a mortgage from a federally regulated or insured lender.Source: https://www.fema.gov/media-library/assets/documents/12886Updated July 2019North Dakota Flood Plains - 500 YearThe "500-year flood" corresponds to an AEP of 0.2-percent, which means a flood of that size or greater has a 0.2-percent chance (or 1 in 500 chance) of occurring in a given year.Source: https://www.fema.gov/media-library/assets/documents/12886Updated July 2019North Dakota Flood Plain - FloodwayA "Regulatory Floodway" means the channel of a river or other watercourse and the adjacent land areas that must be reserved in order to discharge the base flood without cumulatively increasing the water surface elevation more than a designated height. Communities must regulate development in these floodways to ensure that there are no increases in upstream flood elevations. For streams and other watercourses where FEMA has provided Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), but no floodway has been designated, the community must review floodplain development on a case-by-case basis to ensure that increases in water surface elevations do not occur, or identify the need to adopt a floodway if adequate information is available.Source: https://www.fema.gov/media-library/assets/documents/12886Updated July 2019

This file contains the polygon SDE Feature Class for Federal Fluid Minerals(Oil and Gas) for the Bureau of Land Management(BLM) Montana/Dakotas. Federal Fluid Minerals as well as Federal Lease status and Indian Minerals/Leases are included. Plat maps are used to find federal mineral ownership and the Bureau of Land Management's LR2000 database is used to find current leasing status. Assistance from the Bureau of Indian Affairs is used to find Indian Mineral/Lease status. BLM Field Office with Oil and Gas responsibilities (Great Falls, Miles City, or North Dakota) provide final review of data.

This resource is a compilation of well header data for water wells and oil and gas wells in South Dakota, provided by the South Dakota Geological Survey and the Sinte Gleska University. The data are available in the following formats: web feature service, web map service, ESRI service endpoint, and an Excel workbook for download. The workbook contains 4 worksheets, including information about the template with notes related to revisions, resource provider information, the data, and a field list (to assist data mapping). This resource was provided by the South Dakota Geological Survey and made available for distribution through the National Geothermal Data Systems.

Selected landfills permitted in North Dakota. Users of this dataset can symbolize by field WASTETYPE to distinguish between various facilities. WASTETYPE is the primary type of waste a facility is permitted to accept. Some facilities may accept other types of waste but this field contains the primary waste type. Can include municipal solid waste (MSW), industrial, special-energy, special-oilfield, agricultural. In the future, the field may also include special energy-CCR and special energy -NonCCR. CCR stands for coal combustion residuals.WASTETYPE fieldDefinitionMunicipalsolid refuse and trash generated by public and private facilities; can include household waste, etc. Full definition in NDCC 23.1-08-02(10)Industrial solid waste that is not hazardous generated from industrial and manufacturing processes. Full definition in NDCC23.1-08-02(5)special-energySpecial waste is solid waste that is not hazardous and includes waste generated by the energy industry. "special-energy" WASTETYPE refers to waste generated by power plants and energy conversion facilities (example energy conversion facility is Dakota Gasification Company). Full definition of special waste is NDCC 23.1-08-02(16). special-oilfieldSpecial waste is solid waste that is not hazardous and includes waste generated by the energy industry. "special-oilfield" WASTETYPE refers to facilities that accept waste primarily from crude oil and natural gas exploration and production. Full definition of special waste is NDCC 23.1-08-02(16). agriculturalThis is solid waste derived from the production and processing of crops and livestock, but does not include pesticide waste and pesticide containers.
