To provide public access to environmental datasets, geospatial resources, monitoring information, and regulatory data maintained by Pennsylvania state agencies
The Environment Collection is part of Pennsylvania's Open Data Portal, a statewide platform that provides access to datasets from multiple government agencies. The collection brings together environmental information related to water resources, environmental monitoring, natural resources, conservation, pollution control, environmental permitting, and environmental infrastructure.
The collection contains datasets related to environmental monitoring, water resources, drinking water and wastewater systems, dams, floodplain management, watershed resources, conservation programs, environmental permits, pollution control, abandoned mine lands, oil and gas activities, waste management facilities, air quality, natural resources, and environmental infrastructure.
Datasets are developed and maintained by Pennsylvania state agencies through environmental monitoring programs, regulatory reporting systems, permitting activities, field surveys, resource inventories, engineering assessments, GIS mapping initiatives, and administrative data collection. Information is standardized and published through the Pennsylvania Open Data Portal for public access and analysis. Methodologies vary according to the contributing agency and individual dataset.
