New York State Industrial Stormwater Permit Facilities

This dataset lists facilities in New York State with active coverage under the SPDES Multi-Sector General Permit for industrial stormwater discharge. It covers 31 industrial sectors, including mining, land transportation, and scrap recycling, and is maintained by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. The dataset includes facility names, addresses, sector codes, discharging waterbodies, and geospatial references.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the geographic distribution of permitted industrial facilities by `DEC Region` and `County Name`.
• Tracking regulatory status and sector classification using `Status`, `Sector Code`, and `Primary Permit SIC Description`.
• Identifying potential waterbody impacts by linking `Name of Facility` to its `Waterbody` and `Receiving MS4 Name`.
• Mapping facility locations for environmental assessments using the `Georeference` column.

Strengths

• Covers 31 distinct industrial sectors, providing detailed sector-level classification.
• Includes geospatial coordinates (`Georeference`) for mapping and spatial analysis.
• Published by the authoritative state regulatory agency (NYSDEC) and found on multiple government data platforms.

Limitations

• Key metadata such as row count, file size, and specific license are not provided by any source.
• The `last updated` field shows a conflict between 2026-04-02 and 2026-04-04, casting doubt on data freshness.
