Abstract: A GIS data set of Locations of treatment, storage, and disposal facilities(TSDFs) in North Carolina. These facilities are regulated under therequirements of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and musthave an RCRA permit issued by the Division of Waste Management, HazardousWaste Section to operate a TSDF. This data is unverified.
Purpose: This data was created to assist governmental agencies andothers in making resource management decisions through use of a GeographicInformation System (GIS).
Supplemental Information: This is an unverified data layer. The resources used in itscreation were the best available at the time.>system filename: uvhwf file size = 0.1 mb>>Revisions and updates to this layer include:>2.) filename: uvhwf1298 The December 1998 update to this layer>consisted of projecting the data from NAD27 datum, State Plane>projection, units of measure feet TO: NAD83 DATUM, State Plane>PROJECTION, UNITS OF MEASURE METERS. This was done to comply>with the NC Geographic Information Coordinating Council's>"Statement of Direction for North Carolina Corporate Geographic>Database Horizontal Reference, Datum and Unit of Measure". This>reprojecting was done in various ways depending on the data type>and content. Vector data was projected using the 'project'>command in ESRI's Arc software and topology was cleaned and>built based on coverage needs. Raster data was projected using>ESRI's Grid module and various steps as applicable.>>1)uvhwf391 - Represents the March 1991 original release>version of the Hazardous Waste Facilities data. This>also has uvhwf391.txt as compliant metadata. This version>had also gone by the names uv.hazwaste and uvwaste.
