POINT

The Bureau of Solid and Hazardous Waste is responsible for the planning, management and regulation of solid and hazardous waste.  Operations range from recycling, waste reduction, household hazardous waste, and pollution prevention to permitting of solid waste management facilities and hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities. The Bureau also establishes regulatory and management criteria for special wastes such as waste tires, ash, used oil, batteries and mercury devices.

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:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
The process step describes, in general, the process used in the 
production of data sets.  The originating agencies created the 
original table with spatial locations in tabular format (Address/Zipcode).  

GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects:

(1) Downloaded the original table from the FDEP website.

(2) Created spatial points through the process of GeoCoding from the 
facilities address locations gathered from the facilities Address and 
Zipcode field information in the original table.
(Geocoded against ARC Logistics Route GDT Roads)
(Shapefile created using FGDL Albers HPGN map projection)
 
(3) Fields were changed to FGDL standards.

(4) Removed Duplicates

(5) DESCRIPT item was added based on the NAME field.
