This data set contains Missouri's 2016 Section 303(d) Listed Waters - Rivers and Streams and is a list of certain impaired waters in the State of Missouri. The list is a requirement of the Federal Clean Water Act and is developed biennially by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. The list contains the names of impaired waters, their unique identification number and identification of specific pollutants and pollutant sources if they are known. This list has been modified by a state-wide public participation process and by review of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Waters on the final EPA list must be the subject of a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) study that stipulated the allowable amount of specific pollutants allowed in these waters. All waters are listed for their full size as given in 10 CSR 20-7.031 Water Quality Standards, Tables H.

This data set depicts the boundaries of Wild Areas managed by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, Division of State Parks. This data was derived by digitizing United States Geological Survey (USGS) Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangles (DOQQ) from boundary descriptions and sketches varying in age, content and quality. The Missouri Wild Area System was partially modeled after the National Wilderness Preservation System. Wild areas are protected by the benefits they provide for hiking and backpacking as well as the benefits they provide as outdoor classrooms for environmental education and as increasingly important reservoirs of scientific information. According to the Department of Natural Resources' policy, a wild area must be a "spacious" tract of land generally 1,000 or more acres in size. Generally, it must appear to have been affected primarily by the forces of nature, and to possess outstanding opportunities for solitude and unconfined recreation.

This data set provides information about wells in the State of Missouri. The parent data set is the Wellhead Information Management System (WIMS) database that is maintained by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Missouri Geological Survey (MGS), Geological Survey Program (GSP), Wellhead Protection Section (WHP). The WIMS database resulted from implementation of the Water Well Drillers Law of 1985. The information about well location, well ownership, well completion date, well construction, well yield, static water level, and borehole stratigraphy was provided by well drillers as required by state statute RSMo 256.600-256.640. Wells drilled prior to July of 1987 are not included in this data set. A WIMS Well Search is also available online at http://dnr.mo.gov/mowells/publicLanding.do

These data were formally named MO_2015_Wells_shp.zip which have been removed from MSDIS at MO Office of Administration request.

This data set contains those Missouri waters which have been assessed as impaired in 2016, including waters on Missouri's EPA Approved 2016 Section 303(d) List, but also including waters not on that list, such as waters which have a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) or other appropriate management plan in place, or waters which are not impaired by a discrete pollutant. Missouri's EPA Approved 2016 303(d) List has received approval from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The data set contains the names of impaired waters, their unique identification numbers and locations, and identifies specific pollutants and pollutant sources if they are known. This data set is created in conjunction with the Missouri Water Quality Report, which is produced biennially as required by Section 305(b) of the Federal Clean Water Act, and correlates to Tables 14-15 of that report.
