Before 2021, environmental incidents in North Dakota were reported to three separate agencies: the Department of Emergency Services, DEQ, and the Oil and Gas Division of the North Dakota Industrial Commission.

General incidents were reported to DEQ. Oilfield incidents were reported to the Oil and Gas Division, which maintained that data independently. DEQ had read-only access to a portion of that data and made it available to the public as received.

When the Unified Spill Reporting System launched on January 1, 2021, historical records were not migrated. The 1975 to 2020 databases remain available here and continue to be updated for incidents that were still active at the time of the transition.
