Abstract:
US Environmental Protection Agency National Priorities List (NPL) site polygons. The NPL is the list of national priorities among the known releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants throughout the United States and its territories. The NPL is intended primarily to guide the EPA in determining which sites warrant further investigation.
Purpose: Provide location of sites proposed, listed or delisted from NPL

THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE 'AS IS' AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING. THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA GEOPLAN CENTER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES SUFFERED AS A RESULT OF USING, MODIFYING, CONTRIBUTING OR DISTRIBUTING THE MATERIALS.

A note about data scale:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data.

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
This data is provided 'as is'. GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the original data layer's topology
Completeness_Report:
This data is provided 'as is' by GeoPlan and is complete to our knowledge.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Data primarily derived from DEP base.cadastral.shp parcels and is, therefore, as accurate as the parcel data. Other data was sketched from aerial photo features when cadastral data did not include the site, or cadastral data had changed since site was active (primarily for some delisted sites).
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
This data is provided 'as is' and its vertical positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan

Process_Description:
GeoPlan downloaded this dataset from the Florida Department of Protection website (<http://www.dep.state.fl.us/gis/datadir.asp>) in April 2007. The data downloaded was in shapefile format.

GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects: - Reprojected data to FGDL Albers HPGN - DESCRIPT item was added based on the item SITE_NAME - Upcased all character records - Added FGDLAQDATE based on date downloaded from source

Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
The majority of the data in the attributes table is derived from the Hazardous Waste Cleanup Section's HAZARD Oracle database. Acres, DEC_LAT and DEC_LONG were calculated from polygon shapes using Visual Basic Scripts (Note: polygons had to be projected to geographical coordinates to get DEC_LAT and DEC_LONG information).
