Site Cleanup Database
Nevada Environmental Activities Project Tracking Database
The Bureau's project tracking database, Nevada Environmental Activities (NEA), was developed as a tool for case officers to track their various projects. The Bureau has made this database available to the public as a source for identifying remediation sites and viewing electronically available case documents. The database includes both Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) cases and Corrective Action (non-regulated) sites.
The NEA database can be accessed by following this link. To search for and view documentation relating to a remediation case, you will need to create a user account.
A report displaying the open cases can be accessed by following this link. A report displaying the closed cases can be accessed by following this link. Please note the report is large and will take a few minutes to generate. Once the report(s) are generated, they can be exported into Acrobat (pdf), comma delimited (CSV), Excel (97-2003), Rich Text Format, Tiff File, or Web Archive.
*NDEP is not responsible for resulting inaccuracies reflected in the snapshot. If you need more up to date information, please call the Bureau of Corrective Actions and ask to speak to a case officer.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Remediation?
Remediation is a process in which contaminants are removed or neutralized so that they cannot cause harm. It may entail actively removing the waste, which is generally preferable, or isolating or containing the waste on site if it is too costly or impractical to remove. The term "cleanup" is commonly used in referring to remediation.
Is there a way to tell a "LUST case" from a "Corrective Action case" in the data?
The NEA database specifies whether a case is overseen by the Bureau’s Corrective Action or LUST program. This information can be accessed by selecting and viewing a particular case in the NEA database. This information is displayed in the “Event Details” tile on the “Project Tracking Event” dashboard for each case in NEA.
In general, facilities which have federally regulated tanks (UST) will be assigned a facility identification number beginning with a numeric (e.g., 1 through 8). Facilities/sites which have no federally regulated USTs will be assigned an "alpha" facility ID (e.g., A through H). However, it is possible for a regulated UST facility to have non-LUST remedial activities at the facility. For example, a service station in the northern part of the state may have three regulated USTs but may also use heating oil to heat the building (non-regulated). In this case the clean-up of the heating oil release would be a remedial activity under the regulated facility ID (i.e., 1-000000, etc.) but is not a LUST activity.
How can I find out more information than is available on-line about a particular clean-up?
Most of the historical data relating to cases is still in physical format as hard copy files. For more detailed information, you may contact the case officer directly or make an appointment to view the files in either the Carson City or Las Vegas offices. Additionally, to access all available case files housed by the NDEP, you may submit a Public Records Review Request. Information on submitting a Public Records Review Request to the NDEP can be found at https://ndep.nv.gov/resources/public-records-request or by calling 775-687-9304.
How often is the actual data updated within the database?
The data in the database may be updated as often as daily depending on when an individual case officer inputs information.
Is the data available in a format I can manipulate in my own database?
Yes. The NEA project tracking data is available in HTML format which can be imported into a variety of database programs. This data is only downloaded quarterly.
