To identify the Greenbelt Area as defined by the Greenbelt Act, 2005. The outer boundaries of Greenbelt area includes the lands within: * Niagara Escarpment Plan * Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan * Lands designated as Protected Countryside * Lands designated as Urban River Valley

The purpose of this dataset is to identify the location of river valley connections.

Concentration levels from soil sampled in urban and rural parklands in the province. Data includes: * station name and location (rounded to 1 km precision) * sample date * results for 35 inorganics (1991) * results for 8 volatile organic compounds (2009)

The data contains the following mapping layers from the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan: * Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan outer boundary * Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan designations, including: * natural core area * natural linkage area * countryside area * rural settlement * Palgrave Estates residential community * settlement area The data also contains associated policy designation mapping.

This data shows the component parts of the Greenbelt Area as set out in the Greenbelt Act, 2005. * There are currently four designations: * Niagara Escarpment Plan * Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan * Protected Countryside * Urban River Valley

This dataset consists of information from reports received by the Spills Action Centre (SAC). They are generated and completed by SAC following the initial report of a spill. The data includes: * the reference number assigned to the spill * the municipality in which the spill occurred * what was impacted (e.g. land, water, air, or combination) * the substance being discharged (e.g. oil, gases, chemical, etc.) * whether the environmental impact is confirmed, possible, or not anticipated, and * the source/sector of the spill. The data reflects the information as reflected in the report, following the incident. All spills reported to SAC are recorded in the database, regardless of whether or not the Ministry provides field response.

The Ministry of Natural Resources defines ecological units on the basis of bedrock, climate (temperature, precipitation), physiography (soils, slope, aspect) and corresponding vegetation. This enhances their compatibility with national and continental classification systems. The ecological land classification (ELC) of Ontario is used for descriptive, planning, and resource management purposes. The upper levels in its hierarchy may be relevant for provincial and municipal land-use planning initiatives. The lower (finer-scale) levels of the hierarchy are most useful for detailed resource management prescriptions and other local and site planning applications. This packaged dataset is classified into 3 hierarchical categories: * Ecozone: used for national and coarse-scale provincial reporting such as analyses of climate, demographics and watersheds * Ecoregion: used for determining the significance or status of wetland classes and certain other natural heritage features (e.g., old growth forest), setting targets for Wilderness Class Provincial parks, State of the Forest reporting and studying natural disturbance regimes * Ecodistrict used for assessing biodiversity levels, defining seed zones, mapping ecosystem types and setting targets for the identification of natural heritage systems [Introduction to ecological land classification](https://www.ontario.ca/page/introduction- ecological-land-classification-systems)

Data with the following information for large landfills: * landfill capacity * fill rates * estimated remaining capacity * engineering designs * reporting and monitoring details **This dataset was last updated in 2014 and contains out of date information. It has been replaced by the [Ontario landfills](https://data.ontario.ca/dataset/ontario-landfills) dataset.**

Crown Game Preserves were established to prohibit or regulate the hunting and trapping of wildlife in specific areas to restore local populations.

Ontario's recreational fishing regulations are based on 20 Fisheries Management Zones. This map outlines the "border waters area" in Zone 5. The layer and the resulting map were created by the Office of the Surveyor General of Ontario. This product requires the use of GIS software. *[GIS]: geographic information system
