California

Proposition 65 60-Day Notice Search
Proposition 65, more formally known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, is a California law passed by citizen initiative. Enforcement is carried out through civil lawsuits brought by the California Attorney General, by a district attorney or city attorney of a city with a population exceeding 750,000. However, private parties acting in the public interest can also bring Proposition 65 lawsuits, but only if they have provided at least 60 days notice of the alleged violation to the business, as well as to the Attorney General and the appropriate district attorney and city attorney, and the Attorney General, district attorney or city attorney has not taken action. If a business is found to be in violation of Proposition 65, a court may order the business to stop committing the violation or post warning signs. This database enables you to search for these notices, by year or date range, AG number, the names of plaintiff or defendant, and the product or chemical involved.

"What are the relative contributions of mobile sources and stationary sources?" "What sources are near my son or daughter's school?" "Which chemicals are emitted by a particular facility or mobile sources in this area?" To answer these questions you must provide CHAPIS with a location of interest (e.g., county or zip code) and choose which types and sources of pollution you would like to explore. From the CHAPIS map there are also links to other data sources, such as tools to query the statewide emission inventory database and the network of air monitoring stations.

Geotracker
GeoTracker is a data management system for managing sites that impact groundwater, especially those that require groundwater cleanup (Underground Storage Tanks, Department of Defense, Site Cleanup Program) as well as permitted facilities and land disposal sites. Searching by address, case ID or the facility name, GeoTracker provides the public records for a site from over 350,000 documents, including regulatory communications, regulatory actions such as records of decision documents, and all data and documents submitted by the responsible parties using the Business to Government Reporting Module for Electronic Submission of Information (ESI).
California Environmental Resources Evaluation System (CERES)
The California Environmental Resources Evaluation System (CERES) is a program of the Natural Resources Agency established to facilitate access to the variety of data describing California’s rich and diverse environment. CERES is made possible by a close working relationship between the CNRA and the Department of Land, Air and Water Resources (LAWR) at UC Davis. LAWR provides experts in remote sensing, programming using open source technologies, network operations and design, and informatics. CERES also replaced the California Environmental Information Clearinghouse (CEIC), an online directory for environmental information resources, including cities, counties, utilities, state and federal agencies, private businesses and academic institutions that have spatial and other types of data resources. The current catalogue is a collaborative effort with the California Geographic Information Association, California Environmental Resources Evaluation System, and the Federal Geographic Data Center, and may be viewed as a "Yellow Pages" of environmental information by indexing and organizing metadata that facilitates identification and access to the data. Environmental resource data itself is not stored, only data resource descriptions, including information on how to find out more about the data or obtain it. Most of the other information portals described below can be accessed here.

By selecting an earthquake from a clickable map, you can see a map of the area and intensity of shaking from that earthquake, then by clicking on a city on the intensity map (or list beneath the map) you can see what that location reported after the earthquake. These "felt reports" are usually from newspapers during the 1850 to 1930 time period. The felt reports were compiled and published in 1981 and 1982 with updates added through the years. Not all earthquakes have intensity maps and felt reports online.

These data include categories such as population monitoring, distribution, migration barrier, hatcheries, species recovery, habitat monitoring and restoration, and genetics. You can view these data by querying the database tables directly or by querying the data geographically with an interactive online mapping system. The mapping system provides access to a broad array of framework data (political boundaries, hydrography, quad maps, and many more), and users can move easily between the tabular and geographic systems. CalFish is a cooperative project with the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission, the NOAA, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and the US Forest Service.
Department of Fish and Wildlife Database Index
Besides CalFish, the Department of Fish and Wildlife maintains many databases in-house, which can be accessed through an index page. These numerous databases include searchable listings and mapping tools, with many specific subsets.

This database is a synthesized all-inclusive California species list, connecting related data that refer to the same species even if there are issues with outdated alternate scientific names or common names. It provides a common mapping to species codes across many systems for enhanced cross reference and creates a standard for referencing species in new data collection applications. The intention is to create the most complete list of animal and plant species found in California from any source. We include names for species with or without legal status for the purpose of data collection applications. Species status information (such as endangered or protected status) comes live from the [http://www.dfg.ca.gov/biogeodata/cnddb/ California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB)] and is available in the Species Explorer on the Species Details page for only those species found in that system.

CDEC Station Search
This essential database allows you to search for any CDEC station in the state, by name, station ID, the sensor type, location, elevation, river basin, hydrological area, county or operating agency. For example, you could locate all sensors of a certain type or in a certain place, and then access current and historical data for a specific station, which can be downloaded or plotted.
IEP Data and Metadata Access
This page provides links to dozens of databases and spreadsheets maintained by the various agencies of the IEP, some listed elsewhere in this wiki, including fish data, water quality, algae, water flow and water rights.

The database included biological, water quality, and meteorological data. Coverage varied but dated for the various categories from about 1975 (water quality data back to 1961); the project was suspended in 2008.

A collaborative effort between UC Davis ICE and the California Biodiversity Council since 1997.
Watershed Groups in California
This searchable database covers over 660 groups dedicated to particular California watersheds, such as lagoons, rivers, creeks, etc. Keyword searches can be performed for group names, location or mission (e.g., "to protect and restore wild trout and steelhead"). Entries may include details such as membership information, data collection (and availability of data) by the group, contact information, and projects in which the group is involved.
