2006 Assessment Database GIS Application

The Assessment Database (ADB) is a relational database application provided by EPA for tracking water quality assessment data, including use attainment, and causes and sources of impairment. The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) uses ADB to store its 305(b) Water Quality Assessment Information. In an effort to make this information more accessible to the public, DEQ has developed an internet based GIS application which allows users to zoom to an area of interest and retrieve assessment information for specific waters.

This application uses data from the 2006 Final 305(b)/303(d) Water Quality Assessment Integrated Report which was approved by EPA on October 16, 2006.
