A Presentation Illustrating the NYS DECInfo Locator

by Cathy Kittle - NYSDEC Web and Editorial Services Bureau Director

Launched to the public in July 2019, DECinfo Locator is an interactive mapper with more than 50 interactive data layers, allowing users to download permits, view former industrial site cleanup plans, see water quality reports and much more, based on where they live, work, or play. Selecting a map feature can bring up links to database records for petroleum bulk storage facilities, oil wells, or permitted mines. Users can also view potential environmental justice areas and Climate Smart Communities, or find out what local wastewater facilities are doing to reduce their impact on New York's water bodies.
