Oil and Gas - NYSDEC
Permits are tools that allow DEC to implement guidelines and conditions to protect the land and environment during and after oil and gas extraction.
When a permit application is received, the Division of Mineral Resources performs a detailed review of a proposed project and assess and potential environmental impacts in accordance with the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQR). All well drilling applications must comply with the ECL and its implementing regulations which:

require setbacks from municipal water wells, surface bodies and streams;
protect groundwater by mandating a casing and cementing program for each well. Casing and cementing prevent the flow of oil, gas or salt water between underground formations;
require proper containment and disposal of drilling fluids, highly saline brines and other wastes;
contain conditions to prevent the escape of gas from wells;
inhibit oil spills through drilling permit requirements;
require proper plugging and abandonment of all wells; and
require that land impacted by drilling be reclaimed.

More information on the well permit application process.

 Regulation Enforcement
 

The Division of Mineral Resources monitors and inspects well sites throughout drilling, production, and well plugging operations to ensure compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, orders, and permit conditions. If violations are observed, the Division will coordinate with operators to make certain that any pollution concerns are remediated and all compliance issues are resolved; however, DEC has the legal right to pursue enforcement actions under authority granted through ECL Article 71, Title 13.

 Policy Declaration
 

New York State Oil, Gas, and Solution Mining Law (ECL Article 23) includes provisions that:

regulate the development, production and utilization of natural resources of oil and gas in New York in a way to prevent waste;
authorize and provide for the operation and development of oil and gas properties so

there is a greater ultimate recovery of oil and gas, and
the correlative rights (fair access to a shared reservoir) of all owners and the rights of all persons including landowners and the general public are fully protected, and

provide for the underground storage of gas, the solution mining of salt and geothermal, stratigraphic and brine disposal wells.

Complete text of the law can be found in the New York State Legislation website.

  Water Boards Data and Databases

The State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) and Regional Water Quality Control Boards (Regional Boards and collectively, the Water Boards) directs and collects vast amounts of data and information on the state’s water quality, quantity, and uses, as well as the agency business operations. On July 10, 2018, the State Water Board adopted an Open Data Resolution (Resolution No. 2018-0032) to increase the focus on data management and accessibility at the Water Board. The Water Boards Strategic Data Action Plan describes a set of strategic actions that, when implemented, would significantly improve the way we manage and use data and information for both internal facing operations and external facing decisions about California’s valuable water resources.

How Can I Help Reduce Stormwater Pollution?

Doing your part to keep our stormwater clean is easier than you might think. Stormwater pollution comes from numerous sources, but many can be reduced or eliminated through small actions taken around your home, yard and business.
Making small changes such as using organic pesticides and fertilizers, keeping your vehicle clean and maintained, picking up after your pet, ensuring trash is properly disposed of, securing items in your truck-bed can truly reduce stormwater pollution where you live.

Pollutants

Our Partners

Here’s a few tips to get you started:

1.

Properly Dispose Of Trash And Litter
Dispose trash and recycling items in a waste or recycling receptacle. If it’s left lying around, it can blow away or fall to the ground and end up in stormwater. Common trash and litter pollutants include:

Food wrappers or packaging
Plastic containers
Cigarette butts
Single-use items
Face masks or gloves

2.

Clean Out Your Vehicle And Truck Beds
Trash, recyclables and other debris can fall out of an open window or truck bed. Keep a small litter bag in your car, and put items in the garbage can when you get home or visit a gas station. These are some of the common items that can fly out of a vehicle in motion:

Food wrappers or packaging
Empty beverage containers
Plastic containers
Recreational items
Landscape waste

3.

Secure Your Load
Make sure items in your truck bed are secured with tarps and tie-downs or a cargo net. Tools, furniture, and food packaging shouldn’t be able to fly onto the freeway. Be sure to double check that everything is secure before you hit the road.

Water Quality Management

Water Quantity Management

New York's abundant rivers, streams, lakes and coastal waters are used for recreation, fishing, tourism, agriculture and manufacturing. Dams and other infrastructure help us manage our waters.Though plentiful, the water resources of the state are threatened by chemical contaminants and other pollutants from a wide range of sources.The Division of Water provides various programs that track the quality of the waters, identify and investigate sources of pollution, control these sources and develop strategies to address water quality threats. DEC programs regulate and provide guidance on water supply withdrawal. DEC also manages floodplains and coastal areas to reduce flood risk to protect New Yorkers from coastal and inland flooding.Division of Water MissionThe mission of the Division of Water is to protect and conserve the water resources of New York State. This mission is accomplished through a wide range of programs and activities. Some of these are statewide in their scope and apply to all parts of the state. Other efforts are targeted to address water quality and quantity issues in specific regions of the state, focusing on waterbodies or watersheds where these issues are of particular concern.

2001 Budget Analysis:State Water Resources 
In contrast, nonpoint source pollution is created when water picks up
contaminants from pesticide use, mining, logging, and other sources and deposits them in water bodies.
States are required to develop plans—called Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs)—to meet water quality standards in the impaired water bodies that have been
listed. A TMDL is developed for each pollutant contributing to the impairment of a listed water body. The development of a TMDL involves the following
steps:

Determination of how much of a particular pollutant a water body can receive from all sources and still meet water quality standards. 
Determination of how much of the existing level of pollution must be reduced to meet water quality standards. 
Allocation of responsibility for reducing pollution to the acceptable level among the various contributing sources, including both point and nonpoint sources.
Development of a plan to implement the TMDL. While implementation plans are not currently a federal requirement, federal regulations effective later this
year will require these plans. 
Adoption of a regulation (a "basin plan amendment") to establish actions to implement a TMDL, such as revising permits to control waste discharges. 

When a listed water body later meets water quality standards, it is "de-listed." Neither state nor federal law specifies a time schedule for the development or
implementation of TMDLs or for when listed water bodies should become de-listed. Only three of the 18 impaired water bodies on the state's initial list from
1976 have been de-listed.
State Versus Federal Role. The state is primarily responsible for compiling the list of impaired water bodies and developing TMDLs. This is carried out by the
nine regional water quality control boards, operating under SWRCB's oversight. The regions' lists and TMDLs are both submitted to SWRCB for its review and
approval.
A number of other state agencies assist in the development of TMDLs, depending on the sources of pollution and beneficial uses of a particular water body. For
example, the Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) would be involved if pesticides were the pollutants of concern, and the California Department of
