Description: The Environmental Information Management System (EIM) is the Department of Ecology's main database for environmental monitoring data. EIM contains records on physical, chemical, and biological analyses and measurements. Supplementary information about the data (metadata) is also stored, including information about environmental studies, monitoring locations, and data quality. Data in EIM is collected by Ecology or on behalf of Ecology by environmental contractors - and by Ecology grant recipients, local governments, and volunteers. EIM Locations is a point feature service representing the monitoring locations from EIM. The locations consist of both surface locations for monitoring air, water, and habitat and wells for monitoring ground water. This feature service queries directly the EIM publication database which is updated nightly from the production transactional database.

Description: Ecology’s Toxics Cleanup Program (TCP) works to clean up contaminated properties throughout Washington state. Cleanup projects vary greatly in size and complexity. Some are small and routine, like cleaning up contamination from a leaking underground storage tank. Many cleanups are large, complex projects that require engineered solutions. In addition, TCP regulates more than 8,900 underground storage tanks at more than 3,400 facilities (both private businesses and public entities). We work to ensure that these tanks are installed, managed, and monitored in a manner that prevents releases into the environment.

Description: This dataset describes Tribal Lands in Washington State. Included are areas where the tribes ceded title to their historic areas of use to the U.S. Government through various treaties enacted during the later half of the 19th century. Boundary lines have been digitized from a variety of digital data sources including 1:100,000 streams for boundaries described in treaties as following a stream or river, 1:24k Water Resource Inventory Areas (WRIA), Watershed Administrative Unit (WAU) and Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) boundaries for boundaries referred to in treaties as 'divide', 'summit' or 'between the waters of', 1:100,000 Major Public Lands (for current reservation areas), 10 meter DEM and 7.5 minute USGS digital Quad maps (to define ridgelines and 'divide' where WRIA, WAU or HUC boundaries don't exist) and NAIP orthophoto imagery (to get a feel for what a questionable boundary area actually looks like today). Ceded Land treaty areas are based on treaty language and US Government decrees dated 1854-1892. Natural geographic barriers such as streams and ridge lines were used where described or eluded to in treaty descriptions. Coordinate based latitude/longitude boundary lines were used in some Central Washington areas where described. References to general compass directions were followed using natural barriers such as watershed boundaries or drainages wherever possible. Some treaty boundary descriptions were found to be inadequate, inaccurate and in some cases misleading in nature in describing what should have been a natural boundary or even a coordinate based solution to a property description. Some of these boundary areas open to interpretation are discussed below in the Supplemental Information based on the language and definite boundaries of other treaty areas. Ceded areas in Oregon and Idaho from the Camp Stevens Treaties have been included in this dataset. The Washington State Department of Ecology makes no warranty for the accuracy of this material and is not libel for its use. Ecology will maintain this data layer for its own use and distribute to all interested parties. Updates, corrections and documentation should be submitted to the contact person. This data may or may not reflect the most current tribal reservation areas. Tribal reservations are updated regularly in the Major Public Lands (MPL) layer maintained by Washington State Department of Natural Resources. This GIS data is draft information and a work in progress and should be used only as a generalized visual guide to 150 year old treaties of limited content.

Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This data set represents the extent, approximate location and type of wetlands and deepwater habitats in the United States and its Territories. These data delineate the areal extent of wetlands and surface waters as defined by Cowardin et al. (1979). The National Wetlands Inventory - Version 2, Surface Waters and Wetlands Inventory was derived by retaining the wetland and deepwater polygons that compose the NWI digital wetlands spatial data layer and reintroducing any linear wetland or surface water features that were orphaned from the original NWI hard copy maps by converting them to narrow polygonal features. Additionally, the data are supplemented with hydrography data, buffered to become polygonal features, as a secondary source for any single-line stream features not mapped by the NWI and to complete segmented connections. Wetland mapping conducted in WA, OR, CA, NV and ID after 2012 and most other projects mapped after 2015 were mapped to include all surface water features and are not derived data. The linear hydrography dataset used to derive Version 2 was the U.S. Geological Survey's National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). Specific information on the NHD version used to derive Version 2 and where Version 2 was mapped can be found in the 'comments' field of the Wetlands_Project_Metadata feature class. Certain wetland habitats are excluded from the National mapping program because of the limitations of aerial imagery as the primary data source used to detect wetlands. These habitats include seagrasses or submerged aquatic vegetation that are found in the intertidal and subtidal zones of estuaries and near shore coastal waters. Some deepwater reef communities (coral or tuberficid worm reefs) have also been excluded from the inventory. These habitats, because of their depth, go undetected by aerial imagery. By policy, the Service also excludes certain types of "farmed wetlands" as may be defined by the Food Security Act or that do not coincide with the Cowardin et al. definition. Contact the Service's Regional Wetland Coordinator for additional information on what types of farmed wetlands are included on wetland maps. This dataset should be used in conjunction with the Wetlands_Project_Metadata layer, which contains project specific wetlands mapping procedures and information on dates, scales and emulsion of imagery used to map the wetlands within specific project boundaries.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Description: These polygon features represent Water Quality Improvement (WQI) projects managed by the Washington State Department of Ecology. WQI projects can be TMDLs, Straight To Implementation (STI) plans, 4b projects and TMDL Alternatives. The boundaries show where the WQI project applies and is being implemented. TMDL Boundaries identified as "In Development" are considered draft and are subject to change when the project has been approved by the U.S. EPA. U.S. EPA only approves TMDLs and 4b projects. Boundaries are representations of each particular project and does not replace the official version of the approved TMDL report. Please see the TMDL Project webpage for specific information about that project. TMDL projects are required by the Federal Clean Water Act to identify pollution sources and pollution load reductions needed for water bodies to meet water quality standards. Once a TMDL project has been approved by the U.S. EPA, it enters an implementation phase where both point source and non-point source pollution is reduced through permit limits regulated under the NPDES system and through best management practices for land uses that contribute to non-point source pollution. Ecology’s water quality program works with permittees, local governments, watershed stakeholders, and residents to reduce sources of pollution to protect our aquatic resources and public health.

Description: In consultation with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, the National Marine Fisheries Service, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Governor's Salmon Recovery Office has identified seven salmon recovery regions in the state. Each salmon recovery region is based on the salmon recovery needs within a specific geographic area and includes existing Endangered Species Act listings, proposed listings, and where there is a strong likelihood for future listings. Regional boundaries are generally consistent with areas within the state designated Endangered Species Act with listings for Salmonids by the responsible federal agencies.

Description: SWIFD All Reachcode is the Statewide Washington Integrated Fish Distribution, presented as a linear featureclass based on NHD flowline Reaches. SWIFD includes anadromous and resident salmonids, and various game fishThe Statewide Washington Integrated Fish Distribution (SWIFD) dataset is a single National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) event layer for the state of Washington. Within the Treaty Tribes and Washington State co-management area, the Northwest Indian Fisheries (NWIFC) and Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) collaborated to create a single data schema and to combine fish distribution data. The NWIFC and WDFW combined data area is within the boundaries of Washington State Water Resource Inventory Areas (WRIA) 01 -- 23. This is the western Washington region including the western Washington Cascades, the Puget Sound, the Hood Canal, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the Olympic peninsula from the Nooksack River in the north (WRIA 01) to the Chehallis River (WRIA 22/23) in the South. The data schema remains the same for Washington state fish distribution data outside of the co-management area, but all fish distribution data outside of the co-management area is supplied by WDFW. The foundational fish distribution dataset is an event table that contains attributes for each species of fish, anadromous and resident, that have previously been mapped by either NWIFC or WDFW. This event layer maps to the ROUTED 1:24,000-scale version of NHD for Washington state, using NHD ReachCodes as the route identifier, and relative 0-100 linear measures within each reach/route. SWIFD events are in the USGS Hydrologic Event Management (HEM, http://nhd.usgs.gov/tools.html#hem) table format and HEM is used to update and maintain the event tables. Each individual fsh species/run contains information on verification of the upper extent of fish distribution, life history, and habitat use. In the final dataset all the individual fish species/run distributions are stacked onto the NHD reaches, so a given stream reach with 6 unique species/runs will have 6 features associated with it. Usually a definition query is applied to this featureclass to display a single species at a time. The event table structure of the dataset does allow groups of species/runs to be integrated via the use of event overlays. Users should also pay attention to the DISTTYPE_DESC field to ensure they are displaying the appropriate records for their purposes. In particular, there are confirmed absence records for certain species that should not be displayed as occupied stream habitat. SWIFD is developed by dissolving the foundational NHD ReachCode event table SWIFD_2HEM_evts by the LLID and the specific fish record attributes: LLID;LLID_STRM_NAME;SPECRCODE;SPECIESRUN;SPECCODE;SPECIES;RUN_TIME;RUNTIME_DESC;DIST_TYPE;DISTTYPE_DESC;USE_TYPE;USETYPE_DESC;LIFE_HIST;LIFEHIST_DESC;
