Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data layer.

Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:

Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modelling 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. 1:250000 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 analyses. 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 web pages at:

Process_Step:

Process_Description:: Data was downloaded as a textfile from the EPA's "Environmental Database" at <http://www.epa.gov/region4/r4data/cerclis/index.htm>. Data was then coverted to DBF format and then to point shapefile format based on items "LATITUDE" and "LONGITUDE". Latitude and Longitude items were changed to "LAT" and "LONG", shapefile was projected to FGDL Albers HPGN, all character items were upcased, dataset name was changed from "CERCLIS" to "superf", and DESCRIPT item was added based on SITE_NAME.
Process_Date: 2002

Process_Step:

Process_Description:: GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects: (1) Reprojected data to FGDL Albers HPGN (See "Map Projection Parameters" below) (2) DESCRIPT item was added based on the item SITE_NAME (3) Changed dataset name from "CERCLIS" to "superf" (4) Upcased all character records
