Program interests included in NJEMS are: Air, Communications Center, Discharge Prevention, Exams and Licensing, Fish Game and Wildlife, Green Acres, Hazardous Waste, Lab Certification, Land Use, Landscape Irrigation, Parks and Forestry, Pesticides, Pinelands, Planning, Radiation, Right-to-Know, Site Remediation, Soil Conservation, Solid Waste, TCPA, Water Quality, Water Supply, and Watershed Management. The locations derived using GPS represent main entrance or front door locations for the sites. Users should note that not every site in NJEMS presently (as of February 2009) has an established coordinate (GPS or otherwise). NJDEP is continually working to acquire these with GPS, location data submitted to permitting programs, and through address matching techniques.
The coordinate data from NJEMS was used to first make an SDE feature class. The attribute data was culled from several NJEMS tables into an Oracle view, which was then used to create a table that was then joined to the feature class, using SITE_ID as the join field.
Users of the data agree to abide by the terms and conditions of the following:
I. The data provided herein are distributed subject to the following conditions and restrictions:
For all data contained herein, (NJDEP) makes no representations of any kind, including, but not limited to, the warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular use, nor are any such warranties to be implied with respect to the digital data layers furnished hereunder. NJDEP assumes no responsibility to maintain them in any manner or form.
II. Terms of Agreement
1. Digital data received from the NJDEP are to be used solely for internal purposes in the conduct of daily affairs.
2. The data are provided, as is, without warranty of any kind and the user is responsible for understanding the accuracy limitations of all digital data layers provided herein, as documented in the accompanying metadata. Any reproduction or manipulation of the above data must ensure that the coordinate reference system remains intact.
3. Digital data received from the NJDEP may not be reproduced or redistributed for use by anyone without first obtaining written permission from the NJDEP. This clause is not intended to restrict distribution of printed mapped information produced from the digital data.
4. Any maps, publications, reports, or other documents produced as a result of this project that utilize NJDEP digital data will credit the NJDEP's Geographic Information System (GIS) as the source of the data with the following credit/disclaimer: ""This (map/publication/report) was developed using New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Geographic Information System digital data, but this secondary product has not been verified by NJDEP and is not state-authorized.""
5. Users shall require any independent contractor, hired to undertake work that will utilize digital data obtained from the NJDEP, to agree not to use, reproduce, or redistribute NJDEP GIS data for any purpose other than the specified contractual work. All copies of NJDEP GIS data utilized by an independent contractor will be required to be returned to the original user at the close of such contractual work. Users hereby agree to abide by the use and reproduction conditions specified above and agree to hold any independent contractor to the same terms. By using data provided herein, the user acknowledges that terms and conditions have been read and that the user is bound by these criteria.
Note: Some older NJDEP data may not contain .prj files due to distribution procedures at that time. If download does not contain a .prj, please download from:
<http://www.nj.gov/dep/gis/njsp83.zip>
Please rename .prj to the name of the downloadable filename. (for example: If Head of Tides filename is HOT.shp, please rename .prj to HOT.prj). This allows ESRI software to recognize the projection information.
