Hamilton Harbour Area of Concern (AOC) Monitoring

Dataset includes 8 water quality surveys conducted between May and September 2021 at 4 stations in Hamilton Harbour by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) staff. The 4 stations surveyed by MECP are Environment and Climate Change Canada’s 4 long-term monitoring stations in Hamilton Harbour and include centre station and the 3 corners of the harbour. During each survey, water quality samples were collected from 1 metre depth and just above the sediment bed. Depth-integrated samples from the upper or surface layer of the lake were also collected at centre station only. Water samples were analyzed for nutrients and related parameters including: 

* Phosphorus
* Nitrogen
* Chlorophyll
* Suspended solids
* Reactive silicate
* Carbon

In addition, secchi disc depths and water column profiles of temperature, conductivity, turbidity, pH, and dissolved oxygen were also collected at each station.

Corn and Soybean Neonicotinoid-treated Seed data

The data, which includes corn and soybean seeds treated with neonicotinoids (treated seed) and not treated with neonicotinoids (untreated seed) was previously required to be submitted by licensed treated seed vendors, and a summary of this data was reported by the ministry.  Seed sale summary data is for annual seed sales from 2015-2018 (September 01 - August 31).
The data includes:

* total mass, in tonnes, of treated seed sold or transferred, or that was treated by a custom seed treater, that contained imidacloprid, clothianidin or thiamthoxam
* total number of acres that could have been planted with this amount of treated seed
* total mass, in tonnes, of untreated corn and soybean seed sold or transferred

Project information form/data request

Since the mid-1990s, archaeologists have had to file Project Information Forms
prior to commencing fieldwork. One of the ways this information is used is to
track when associated reports are due. Current Project Information Forms allow
archaeologists to conduct site searches or request the assistance of the
Archaeological Data Co-ordinater in conducting a site search. This dataset
includes information on project name, project location and search results.

Toxics Reduction Act – Living List Status of Nominations

The Toxics Reduction Act requires the ministry to consult with experts and the
public at least once every five years about possible changes to the lists of
substances that are prescribed as toxic substances.

The Living List Framework describes the Ministry of the Environment and
Climate Change's approach to reviewing and updating the list of toxic
substances prescribed under the Toxics Reduction Act. Anyone may nominate a
change to this list.

This is the current status of nominations for all substances nominated to be
added, deleted or removed from the list of prescribed toxic substances.

2006 Commercial Vehicle Survey: origin and destination

## General guidelines

  1. The dataset contains trip origin, destination, commodity group, average daily trips, commodity weight and value.
  2. The data represents activity by medium and heavy trucks only.
  3. The origin and destination data is aggregated by counties in Ontario and province or state outside of Ontario.
  4. The commodities are grouped into 32 groups and empty trucks.
  5. The Commercial Vehicle Survey targets travel on provincial facilities. Therefore, coverage of intra-urban trips is incomplete, and should not be interpreted as representative.
  6. Trip activity within the Greater Toronto Area municipalities is not representative.
  7. The average trip distance is 440 km. Caution must be exercised with short distance trip activities.
  8. All Origin-destination pairs with average trip activity of less than one trip per day have been suppressed.

Enterprise Vendor of Record Arrangements 

The Government of Ontario's enterprise-wide Vendor of Record (VOR) Program
provides goods and services commonly acquired by government ministries. Many
are available to other Provincially Funded Organizations, such as hospitals
and municipalities. The Ministry of Government and Consumer Services
establishes most agreements through open bidding, qualifying one or more
vendor(s) to provide goods or services for a defined period, on specified
terms and conditions (including pricing, where applicable). Some software and
travel agreements are non-competitively established.

This dataset provides the following information about the VOR Program:

  * VOR Arrangement Number
  * VOR Arrangement Name
  * Qualified Vendor(s)
  * Start Date
  * End Date

Effluent monitoring and effluent limits facilities list

The effluent monitoring and effluent limits regulations (EMEL) require
designated industrial facilities, who discharge directly to water bodies in
Ontario, to sample and report their wastewater discharges to the ministry. The
list provides general information, to abatement officers, on all the
industrial facilities that are regulated under this regulation; such as

Field based spatial water quality mapping

Field sensors, analytical instruments capable of operating in real-time and
under field conditions, are used in Great Lakes studies where the description
of spatial patterns in water quality is important. Sensor datasets consisting
of water quality and physical features including temperature, conductivity,
chlorophyll and other algal pigments, nitrate and indicators of organic
material are collected over pre-defined vessel tracks and the geo-referenced
datasets of water quality measurements are used to create maps of water
quality features.

Government-wide data inventory

The data inventory lists data that is created, collected and managed by the
Government of Ontario, including the title, description and frequency of
update for each dataset. It also shows whether a dataset is open, will become
open, is under review, or is restricted from being open due to reasons
outlined by the [Open Data Directive](https://www.ontario.ca/page/ontarios-open-data-directive).

This inventory does not include dataset files or personal information.

Datasets listed in the inventory are also available to view on [Ontario's data
