Description
Abstract
EPA Superfund. Data is drawn from CERCLIS, with some facility
locations updated by EPA Region 10 staff.
Descriptors:
CERCLA CERCLIS SUPERFUND
Purpose
Siteinfo, Sitemapper, and many general maps.
To show locations of Superfund sites.
Supplemental_Information
Procedures_Used
CERCLIS data received in dBASE dbf format from Nazir Kassam.
Converted to ascii via dbflist.
Converted to sdf format, with MAD codes, via a custom C program.
Cross-referenced coords with PDS data via a custom C program.
Cross-referenced coords with R10 updates data via a custom C program.
Converted to INFO via ascii2info.
Set SYMBOL based on NPL_STATUS and INACTIVE.
Set FIPS:ST based on first two characters of FAC_ID.
Converted to point coverage via info2cover. MAD codes dropped from PAT.
Created separate INFO file of MAD codes, .MAD table.
Added HUC values via spatial overlay with USGS HUC coverage.
Revisions
Generated from CERCLIS 12/01/1995. Updated locations applied.
See LLSRC, and .MAD table for update documentation.
Reviews_Applied_to_Data
Visual inspection.
Related_Spatial_and_Tabular_Data_Sets
The associated info table, .MAD table, contains the MAD codes for each
location in the coverage. There is a 1 to 1 relationship between
.MAD table and .PAT table through FAC_ID.
References_Cited
None.
