The mean environmental health hazard index of Orange County, NY was 65 in 2015. The mean environmental health hazard index of Rockland County, NY was 47 in 2015.
Median Environmental Health Hazard Index
The environmental health hazard exposure index summarizes potential exposure to harmful toxins including carcinogenic, respiratory, and neurological hazards. Values are percentile ranked and range from 0 to 100, with higher values corresponding to less exposure to harmful toxins. Data is computed for U.S. counties by applying summary statistics across all census tracts present in a county and is current as of 2015.

SPDES Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) Facilities
data.ny.gov | Last Updated 2024-08-12T19:36:08.000ZThe SPDES Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP), which is administered by the Department of Environmental Conservation (the Department), regulates stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity from a point source. The MSGP covers thirty one different industrial sectors which include activities such as mining, land transportation, and scrap recycling. The dataset displays information on facilities that have active MSGP coverage in New York State. Information included in the data set include the facility’s name, address, contact information, industrial sector(s), discharging waterbody, and location of the facility’s Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.

Residential Existing Homes (One to Four Units) Energy Efficiency Meter Evaluated Project Data: 2007 – 2012
data.ny.gov | Last Updated 2021-02-04T19:10:11.000ZIMPORTANT! PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER BEFORE USING DATA. This dataset backcasts estimated modeled savings for a subset of 2007-2012 completed projects in the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® Program against normalized savings calculated by an open source energy efficiency meter available at https://www.openee.io/. Open source code uses utility-grade metered consumption to weather-normalize the pre- and post-consumption data using standard methods with no discretionary independent variables. The open source energy efficiency meter allows private companies, utilities, and regulators to calculate energy savings from energy efficiency retrofits with increased confidence and replicability of results. This dataset is intended to lay a foundation for future innovation and deployment of the open source energy efficiency meter across the residential energy sector, and to help inform stakeholders interested in pay for performance programs, where providers are paid for realizing measurable weather-normalized results. To download the open source code, please visit the website at https://github.com/openeemeter/eemeter/releases D I S C L A I M E R: Normalized Savings using open source OEE meter. Several data elements, including, Evaluated Annual Elecric Savings (kWh), Evaluated Annual Gas Savings (MMBtu), Pre-retrofit Baseline Electric (kWh), Pre-retrofit Baseline Gas (MMBtu), Post-retrofit Usage Electric (kWh), and Post-retrofit Usage Gas (MMBtu) are direct outputs from the open source OEE meter. Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® Estimated Savings. Several data elements, including, Estimated Annual kWh Savings, Estimated Annual MMBtu Savings, and Estimated First Year Energy Savings represent contractor-reported savings derived from energy modeling software calculations and not actual realized energy savings. The accuracy of the Estimated Annual kWh Savings and Estimated Annual MMBtu Savings for projects has been evaluated by an independent third party. The results of the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR impact analysis indicate that, on average, actual savings amount to 35 percent of the Estimated Annual kWh Savings and 65 percent of the Estimated Annual MMBtu Savings. For more information, please refer to the Evaluation Report published on NYSERDA’s website at: http://www.nyserda.ny.gov/-/media/Files/Publications/PPSER/Program-Evaluation/2012ContractorReports/2012-HPwES-Impact-Report-with-Appendices.pdf. This dataset includes the following data points for a subset of projects completed in 2007-2012: Contractor ID, Project County, Project City, Project ZIP, Climate Zone, Weather Station, Weather Station-Normalization, Project Completion Date, Customer Type, Size of Home, Volume of Home, Number of Units, Year Home Built, Total Project Cost, Contractor Incentive, Total Incentives, Amount Financed through Program, Estimated Annual kWh Savings, Estimated Annual MMBtu Savings, Estimated First Year Energy Savings, Evaluated Annual Electric Savings (kWh), Evaluated Annual Gas Savings (MMBtu), Pre-retrofit Baseline Electric (kWh), Pre-retrofit Baseline Gas (MMBtu), Post-retrofit Usage Electric (kWh), Post-retrofit Usage Gas (MMBtu), Central Hudson, Consolidated Edison, LIPA, National Grid, National Fuel Gas, New York State Electric and Gas, Orange and Rockland, Rochester Gas and Electric.
