About

Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ). Probed 2026-05-02. Spec drift caught at probe: WDEQ native servers (an agency data service and an internal-only host) are INTERNAL-only and neither resolves from public DNS. Public data is the only public surface. The agency mirrors a subset of layers via two owners: an agency data service (TNC-published WDEQ snapshots dated 2021-06) and another (joanna.harter / john.westenhoff, Statewide_eAMLIS_PADs_view). Spec methods `searchAirPermits`, `searchUSTSites`, and `searchSpills` were DROPPED because none are published as public Feature Services (AQ data on an agency host is DNS-dead; USTs and spills are internal-only). Replacements drawn from public data: searchVoluntaryRemediation (VRP/ICP/Brownfields, 287 sites, was the spec featured method), searchSolidWaste (~312 landfills/dumps, a UST/disposal-equivalent risk proxy), searchMinePermits (~265 LQD active), searchAMLPads (~284 abandoned-mine reclamation). VRP layer field names are abbreviated awkwardly: Site_Name (full), VRP_Number (Float, e.g. 58.163), VRP_Acc_Da (acceptance date as STRING `6/1/12`), VRP_CL_DAT (close date as epoch-ms), Volunteer (= operator/owner), Lib_Assur, T_INST_CON, CONTAMINAN, CONTAM_MED. STATUS distinct: Closed=132, Open=120, Withdrawn=31, Inactive=4. TYPE_SITE: VRP=229, VRP/ICP=35, Brownfields=16, ICP=6. INDUSTRY: Energy-T&S=46, Commercial=43, Energy=43, Energy-E&P=42, Other=36, Military=22, Refinery=12, with many free-text variants ('Energy - E&P', 'Energy-E&Pl', 'Energy -T&S') so the handler matches via UPPER LIKE. CONTAM_MED has typo variants ('Soil & groudnwater', 'Soil &groundwater'). Mine permits MINERAL_CA distinct: Quarry=173 (sand & gravel), Coal=28, Bentonite=26, Uranium=20, Trona=8, Other=10. PERMIT_STA always 'Active'. Mine COUNTY is UPPERCASE; Solid Waste County is Title Case. Solid Waste Status: Closed=107, Historic=102, Active=82, Historic-Proposed=14, Proposed=4. Generator_Type is mostly 'Confirm' (a data-quality leak). The AML PADs layer is at /72 NOT /0; no county column.
