Facility/Site Database - What's New
- September 12, 2006
- A new version of the Facility Site was released. This is the first major
revision to this web site in the ten years that it has been in use. Reports,
maps and the ability to export search results were added. Along with better
searching tools.
- January 13, 2006
- The F/S home page was updated to reflect current information and updated
links.
- September 7, 2001
- A link to the Facility/Site Atlas was added to the F/S home page.
- August 13, 2001
- A note was added to the main page for F/S on the Web briefly
describing the scope and currency of facility/site data in F/S on the
Web.
- June 29, 2000
- F/S on the Web has been migrated to the Microsoft Active Server Page
(ASP) environment. As a result it has also moved to a new location.
Please be sure to update your favorites list.
- May 5, 2000
- F/S on the Web now provides information on both Active and Inactive
Ecology Interactions.
- January 3, 2000
- The QUERY by ZIP code function of F/S on the Web was updated to
utilize an implicit search instead of an exact match. Selecting '98409'
now searches for records containing '98409', '98409-0001', '98409-0002',
etc.
- September 21, 1999
- The QUERY function of F/S on the Web was moved to a new server.
- May 26, 1999
- Several broken links to the Department's disclaimer were corrected.
- January 21, 1999
- The problems referenced below are believed to have been corrected by
discontinuing the use of port 88 effective today at 12:01 PM Pacific
Time. We again apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.
- December 21, 1998
- Many users appear to be having problems accessing the site. The site
was rehosted and when this was done the server was assigned a port
number other than the default port used by most servers. As such many
firewalls will not allow this information to pass through. Ecology is
working with our ISP and hope to have the problem resolved before the
end of the year. We apologize for any inconvenience.
- September 24, 1998
- The Interaction Type Codes were updated and the link to the
Definitions page was activated.
- March 24, 1998
- Updated to only display those Facility/Sites that have at least one
active interaction with the Department of Ecology.
- January 28, 1998
- Additional layers added to the mapping options that display multiple
sites. These include railroads, water, minor streets, and others.
- Nov 6, 1997
- Added link to Maps on Us to
provide an alternate means of obtaining the latitude/longitude of a
point. Click on the 'Maps' button, enter a street address, and click on
the point to obtain the lat/long. The lat/long will appear along the
lower edge of the map.
- Oct 20, 1997
- The mapping option on the F/S Detail page that displays mulitple
sites has now been activated.
- Oct 17, 1997
- The option to produce a map displaying all sites identifed by a
query on latitude/longitude has been activated.
- Oct 8, 1997
- All queries utilizing SIC code now perform implicit searches instead
of exact matches. Selecting '01' searches for records containing '01',
'011', '0111', '0112', '012' '0121'... as their SIC code.
- Query errors caused by the selection of an excessive number of
parameters are now trapped and an appropriate error message displayed.
Users will no longer simply be informed that "Your query returned no
records".
- Added additional indexes to database to increase performance.
- Oct 3, 1997
- A problem with the advanced queries has been identified. The
advanced queries that utilize SIC codes were written to do exact
matches only. (selecting '01' finds only those records with '01'
not '01', '011', '0111', '0112' ...) Work is in process to correct this
problem.
- Queries selecting by SIC code at the 3 or 4 digit level may not
execute properly if a large number of SIC codes are selected. The exact
number of SIC codes allowed is dependant upon the number of other
parameters input but queries with up to 100 SIC codes seem to work just
fine. Queries that exceed the maximum allowable size will be aborted and
no data returned.
- September 16, 1997
- F/S on the Web is launched.
