NYSERDA 2024 Soils Data for use in the Large-Scale Renewables and NY-Sun Programs

THE NYSERDA 2024 SOILS DATA IS TO BE USED FOR NYSERDA’S RENEWABLE ENERGY STANDARD (RES) REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) ISSUED AFTER THE PUBLICATION OF THIS DATA OR THE NY-SUN PROGRAM AND IS NOT INTENDED TO REPRESENT ACTUAL IN SITU SOIL CONDITIONS. 

In order to facilitate the protection of agricultural lands, developers participating in RESRFPs or the NY-Sun program may be responsible for making an agricultural mitigation payment to a designated fund based on the extent to which the solar project’s facility area overlaps with an Agricultural District and New York’s highly productive agricultural soils, identified as Mineral Soil Groups (MSG) classifications 1 through 4 (MSG 1-4). This mitigation approach is designed to discourage solar projects from siting on MSG 1-4.  Furthermore, this mitigation approach is designed to encourage retaining agricultural productivity on the project site.  Instances where Proposers cannot avoid or minimize impacts on MSG 1-4 will result in a payment to a fund administered by NYSERDA. Disbursement of collected agricultural mitigation payment funds will be informed by consultation with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets (AGM) to support ongoing regional agricultural practices and/or soil conservation initiatives.

This dataset contains a combination of soils data from multiple sources to serve participants of NYSERDA’s Large-Scale Renewable and NY-Sun programs. The NYSERDA 2024 Soils Data was created by converting the 2024 New York State Agricultural Land Classification master list of soils maintained by AGM to a tabular form and providing a corresponding unique identifier for each listed soil that enables the user to link the soils to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) SSURGO soils database, allowing for a geographical representation.  When the NYSERDA 2024 Soils Data is joined with spatial data from the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) SSURGO soils database, the corresponding soil unit can be mapped in a geographic information system software.  The latest version of the SSURGO database should be used to get the most accurate join.  Data is updated yearly from both NRCS and from AGM, however, NYSERDA will not update this dataset and it will remain intact for future reference. NYSERDA intends on creating new soils datasets for future procurements on an annual basis.

NYSBIP School Bus Projects: Beginning 2023

In the April 2022 budget passed by the New York State Legislature and signed by Governor Hochul, the State established a deadline for the transition to zero-emission buses. Specifically, all school buses in the State must be zero-emission buses by 2035. In 2022, voters across NYS overwhelming voted for the Clean Air, Clean Water and Green Jobs Environmental Bond Act (Bond Act) which includes $500M to support the transition to zero-emission school buses. NYSERDA has established the NY School Bus Incentive Program (NYSBIP) to achieve these State public purposes and assist school districts in meeting the zero-emission bus timelines.
NYSBIP is a voucher incentive program which will accelerate the deployment of zero-emission school buses and charging infrastructures throughout New York State. Zero-emission school buses include both electric school buses and hydrogen fuel cell school buses (collectively referred to as ESBs). This dataset focuses on the school bus-side of the program. The dataset is compiled from the information collected throughout the project application process.

Procurement Report for State Authorities

Public authorities are required by Section 2800 of Public Authorities Law to submit annual reports to the Authorities Budget Office that includes procurement contracts data. The dataset consists of procurement contracts data reported by State Authorities  that covers 8 fiscal years,which includes fiscal years ending in the most recently completed calendar year. Authorities are required to report procurement transactions that have an actual, estimated, or cumulative value of $5,000 or more, annually.
Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) Historical Annual Data: 1975 - 2000

The Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program (also known as ES-202) collects employment and wage data from employers covered by New York State's Unemployment Insurance (UI) Law. This program is a cooperative program with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. QCEW data encompass approximately 97 percent of New York's nonfarm employment, providing a virtual census of employees and their wages as well as the most complete universe of employment and wage data, by industry, at the State, regional and county levels. "Covered" employment refers broadly to both private-sector employees as well as state, county, and municipal government employees insured under the New York State Unemployment Insurance (UI) Act. Federal employees are insured under separate laws, but are considered covered for the purposes of the program. Employee categories not covered by UI include some agricultural workers, railroad workers, private household workers, student workers, the self-employed, and unpaid family workers. QCEW data are similar to monthly Current Employment Statistics (CES) data in that they reflect jobs by place of work; therefore, if a person holds two jobs, he or she is counted twice. However, since the QCEW program, by definition, only measures employment covered by unemployment insurance laws, its totals will not be the same as CES employment totals due to the employee categories excluded by UI. Industry level data from  1975 to 2000 is reflective of the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes.
Private and Commercial Fish Hatcheries

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC) issues permits to facilities to rear or sell selected fish species. This dataset is a list of New York facilities with permits to rear or sell selected fish species is compiled annually and updated periodically by DEC, and is distributed for information only. It is compiled to help people find possible sources of certified disease-free fish for stocking. Fish purchasers are reminded that DEC stocking permits are required before fish are placed into any New York State waters. Purchasers should also receive a copy of a fish health certificate indicating the fish they are buying for stocking purposes are from facilities that have been inspected and found free of the fish pathogens identified in DEC's regulations NYCRR, Title 6, Part 188.1 and 188.2. For additional information call the nearest DEC Regional Office.
Economic Transformation and Facility Redevelopment Program Tax Credit: Beginning 2022

Energy Efficiency Completed Projects: Beginning 1987

The Energy Efficiency programs of the New York Power Authority provide energy-efficiency improvements, with no up-front costs, to public schools and other government facilities. From start to finish, the Power Authority works with facility managers to identify, design and install new lighting and motors, as well as upgrades to heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems. We try to address all energy efficiency improvements in a single, comprehensive effort.  This data set contains information on energy efficiency projects completed since 1987. The data set is updated in a quarterly basis to reflect new data as projects are implemented. The information includes project location, customer name, project name, total cost, and energy efficiency benefits, including energy reduction (electric, natural gas, oil) and greenhouse gas emissions reductions.
Summary of Portfolio Benefits from RGGI-Funded Projects

The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) is a multi-state cap-and-trade mechanism where polluters of greenhouse gas emissions must either reduce emissions or purchase emissions allowances. New York State allocates funds received from selling allowances to the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) to manage programs aimed at reducing fossil fuel consumption. The Summary of Portfolio Benefits from RGGI-funded Projects dataset includes the total estimated energy savings, greenhouse gas emission reductions, and participant energy bill savings from program activities within NYSERDA’s RGGI portfolio.

Monroe County Single Family Residential  Building Assets and Energy Consumption: 2017-2019

PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE FULL REPORT UNDER THE ATTACHMENT SECTION IN THE 'ABOUT THIS DATASET' SECTION BELOW.

This aggregated and anonymized dataset of single-family residential building asset attributes and observed average annual energy consumption over the 2-year period from August 2017 through July 2019 is available for Monroe County. The dataset includes more than 55,000 properties from the study’s matched residential dataset that had sufficient data for calculation of average annual energy consumption and could not be uniquely identified in the larger dataset of Monroe County residential parcels or Infogroup data. The data were anonymized by removing all property identifying information including address, parcel identifiers, and parcel size. Attributes such as square footage, building age, and assessed value were then grouped such that no groupings contained fewer than three properties in the Monroe County parcel dataset. This dataset with average annual energy consumption for gas, electric, and total consumption can be used by those interested in further analysis and energy modeling.

In response to the New York State Department of Public Service (DPS) Order Adopting Accelerated Energy Efficiency targets, issued December, 18, 2018, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) contracted with Stone Environmental, Inc to conduct an Asset Data Matching Pilot in Monroe County to analyze building asset data, utility usage data, and NYSERDA program data for single family residential buildings. The objective of the study was to analyze publicly available data along with two years of utility usage data provided by Rochester Gas and Electric (RG&E) to provide information and data to the market to help reduce customer acquisition costs for adoption of energy efficiency measures and to better understand the ability to use building asset data to determine energy efficiency.

See the final report from the analysis under the attachments section.

Personal Income Tax Filers, Summary Dataset 2 - Major Items and Income & Deduction Components by Place of Residence and Broad Income Range: Beginning Tax Year 2015

Beginning with tax year 2015, the Department of Taxation and Finance (hereafter “the Department”) began producing a new annual population data study file to provide more comprehensive statistical information on New York State personal income tax returns. The data are from full‐year resident, nonresident, and part‐year resident returns filed between January 1 and December 31 of the year after the start of the liability period (hereafter referred to as the “processing year”). The four datasets display major income tax components by tax year. This includes the distribution of New York adjusted gross income and tax liability by county or place of residence, as well as the value of deductions, exemptions, taxable income and tax before credits by size of income. In addition, three of the four datasets include all the components of income, the components of deductions, and the addition/subtraction modifications.
Caution: The current datasets are based on population data. For tax years prior to 2015, data were based on sample data. Data customers are advised to use caution when drawing conclusions comparing data for tax years prior to 2015 and subsequent tax years. Further details are included in the Overview.
New York State Sea Level Rise and Future Floodplain Extent: Beginning 2000

The Sea Level Rise Viewer provides estimated projections of the extent of future sea-level rise and storm surge on inundation and coastal flooding that could occur in portions of New York State. The layers include all combinations of eight future sea level rise scenarios (0, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 inches) and four annual chance flood probabilities: 10% chance (10-year flood event), 2% chance (50-year flood event), 1% chance (100-year flood event), and 0.2% chance (500-year flood event).

Coverage area is the tidally influenced shoreline of New York State, with the exception of New York City, which has its own sea level rise maps. Data layers include the following counties: Albany, Columbia, Dutchess, Greene, Orange, Nassau, Putnam, Rensselaer, Rockland, Suffolk, Ulster, and Westchester. 

Baseline flood water surface elevations corresponding to each annual flood probability were used from FEMA Flood Insurance Studies. High-resolution LiDAR-based digital elevation models were used to represent the land surface. The sea level rise scenarios were applied to the baseline flood elevations to develop future flood elevations. The future floodplains were then mapped by intersecting the new flood elevations with the LiDAR topography. While the analysis includes coastal storm surge via the flood recurrence intervals, it does not account for changes in storm climatology, dynamic coastal processes, landscapes, or hydraulic conditions under future conditions.

This mapping project chose to map future sea level rise in 6- to 12-inch increments, rather than mapping specific sea level rise projections. This choice was made due to resource constraints as well as to extend the utility of the maps even as the projections were revised as climate science improved.

This modeling effort was completed in 2016.
