New York Environmental Profile
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's 2023 Toxics Release Inventory, Safe Drinking Water Information System, and Superfund National Priorities List, this is New York's (NY) full public environmental-compliance record - toxic releases, drinking-water systems, and Superfund sites in one place.

New York consolidates three federal EPA datasets into one statewide environmental profile: 688 Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) facilities reporting under EPCRA Section 313, 2,201 community water systems regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act, and 122 sites on the Superfund National Priorities List.
TRI facilities in NY have cumulatively disclosed 79.9M lbs of toxic chemical releases, while SDWIS records show 5,270 total violations across the state's regulated water systems, of which 803 systems carry an active health-based violation (MCL exceedance or treatment-technique failure). Activity clusters in counties such as Dutchess, Orange, Westchester, which account for the highest combined facility, water-system, and Superfund presence.
Every figure reflects the public regulatory record as filed with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and is not weighted for toxicity, geographic footprint, or population exposure. A state can rank high in any individual metric because of industrial history, naturally occurring contaminants in source water, or simply the number of reporting facilities, not because current residents face unsafe conditions. Drill into any county or water system below for the full disclosure record.
