Combined Sewer Overflow CSO Outfalls

<div style='text-align:Left;'><p style='font-size:12ptmargin:0 0 11 0;'><span><span>The dataset represents the locations of combined sewer overflow (CSOs) outfall locations in NYS. Combined sewers collect stormwater runoff, domestic sewage and industrial wastewater in the same pipe and bring it to a wastewater treatment facility. They are designed to overflow during heavy rain events, causing excess water to be discharged directly into a waterbody. The public is advised to avoid contact while recreating within waterbodies with a CSO during or following rain or snowmelt. There are about 800 CSO outfalls in New York State. This is a decrease from about 1,300 in 1993, due to CSO abatements completed by the permittees.</span></span></p><p style='font-size:12ptmargin:0 0 11 0;'><span><span>For background information, see </span></span><a href='https://dec.ny.gov/environmental-protection/water/water-quality/combined-sewer-overflow' style='text-decoration:underline;' rel='nofollow ugc'><span style='text-decoration:underline;'><span>Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO)</span></span></a></p><p style='font-size:12ptmargin:0 0 11 0;'><span><span>For layer information or to download layer, see </span></span><a href='https://nys-gis-resources-3-sharegisny.hub.arcgis.com/datasets/nysdec::combined-sewer-overflow-cso-outfalls/about' style='text-decoration:underline;' rel='nofollow ugc'><span style='text-decoration:underline;'><span>Combined Sewer Overflow CSO Outfalls</span></span></a></p><p style='font-size:12ptmargin:0 0 11 0;'><span><span>Download the metadata to learn more information about how the data was created and details about the attributes. </span></span><a href='https://nysdec.maps.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/items/21c2ab88012444f69d20fbb1550e8937/info/metadata/metadata.xml?format=default&amp;output=html' style='text-decoration:underline;' rel='nofollow ugc'><span style='text-decoration:underline;'><span>Metadata Link</span></span></a></p><div><div><p><span /></p><p><span /></p></div></div></div>
