Datashed is a fully-featured, GIS enabled, Internet database designed to assist watershed groups, academic institutions, private industry, and government agencies in the operation and maintenance of passive treatment systems.
Datashed provides public access to the following:
- Important documents, such as O&M inspection sheets, site schematics, "As-Built" drawings, and dynamically-generated location maps;
- Individualized directions to project sites;
- Password-protected data submissions (i.e., upload field measurements and laboratory water sample analyses);
- Interactive GIS map depicting all known passive treatment systems in Pennsylvania;
- Printable monitoring reports and predefined graphs;
- Public access to all water sampling data.
No passwords are necessary to view any of the data stored within the data repository; however, passwords are required to upload data.
The Western PA Coalition for Abandoned Mine Reclamation (WPCAMR) has become a partner in the development of Datashed. The Funding AMD Chemistry for Treatment Systems (FACTS) grant being administered by WPCAMR uses Datashed as a central point of contact for all participating laboratories and watershed groups.

| Positive improvements are being seen in Pennsylvania's streams! About 300 passive treatment systems have been installed throughout the state, reducing the load of pollutants. Below are the sums of these load reductions from systems contained in Datashed. As more systems and data are added, these loadings will be automatically updated.
