About

Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) public data, covering water-quality compliance. Search 499 IR-2020 subsegment polygons by 8-use designated-use rating (PCR, SCR, FWP, DWS, ONR, OYS, AGR, LAL by Fully Supported / Not Supported / Insufficient Data / Not a Use / No Data Collected). 303(d)-impaired waters are the Not Supported subset. 366 assessed flowlines, 133 estuaries/lakes/wetlands, 12 watershed basins (ATCHAFALAYA, BARATARIA, CALCASIEU, MERMENTAU, MISSISSIPPI, OUACHITA, PEARL, PONTCHARTRAIN, RED, SABINE, TERREBONNE, VERMILION-TECHE). Plus 761 LEAU-roster active ambient monitoring sites and 62 fish-consumption advisories. Subsegments and flowlines have no parish column upstream, so filter by BASIN or bbox/near. Fish Advisories carry a free-text Parishes string (handler LIKE-matches). Air emissions and hazardous-waste services do NOT exist as LDEQ-owned Feature Services. Use TCEQ-equivalent Federal data via airnow / envirofacts for those domains.
