Louisiana DEQ water-quality datasets — 303(d) impaired-water subsegments, designated-use ratings, watershed basins, ambient monitoring sites, and fish-consumption advisories.

What is LDEQ Louisiana Environmental?

Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) public AGOL Feature Services covering water-quality compliance. Search 499 IR-2020 subsegment polygons by 8-use designated-use rating (PCR, SCR, FWP, DWS, ONR, OYS, AGR, LAL × 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 + flowlines have no parish column upstream — 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.

Available Tools

  • search303dImpairedWaters
    303(d) impaired subsegments — designated use rated Not Supported. Defaults to PCR.
  • searchSubsegmentsByUse
    Subsegments filtered by an arbitrary designated-use rating.
  • searchWatershedBasins
    LDEQ watershed basin polygons (12 basins).
  • searchAmbientMonitoringSites
    LEAU active monitoring sites (~761). Filter stationType, wqsRegion, bbox, near.
  • searchFishAdvisories
    Fish consumption advisories (~62). Filter by parish substring or pollutant.
  • getServiceInfo
    Schema + record counts for any of the 6 LDEQ services.
