Frequently-anticipated questions:


What does this data set describe?

Title: onemap_prod.SDEADMIN.hsds
Abstract:
The North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Divison of Waste Management, Superfund Section in cooperation with the North Carolina Center for Geographic Information and Analysis developed the GIS data set, Hazardous Substance Disposal Sites, to enhance planning, siting, and impact analysis in areas directly affected by Hazardous Substance Disposal Sites. The arc and polygon data identifies locations of uncontrolled and unregulated, hazardous waste sites (formerly called superfund sites) in North Carolina.The file includes sites on the CERCLA Information System (CERCLIS), the National Priorities List, the State Inactive Hazardous Sites List, the Sites Priority List, and some Department of Defense sites. Attributes describe the state or federal status, facility name, coordinate location, and site id numbers. .
Supplemental_Information:
system filename: hsds     file size = 0.7 mb

Revisions and updates to this layer include:
4.) filename:  hsds1298  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.

3.) filename: hsds396   The March 29, 1996 revisions consisted
of changing the name of the data layer from Superfund Sites, to
Hazardous Substance Disposal Sites.  This was done at the request
of the custodian agency.
ALL FILES PRIOR TO THE MARCH 29, 1996 VERSION WERE NAMED
SUPERFUND SITES. (SUPFND, OR NC.SUPFND)

2.) filename: hsds395  (previously named nc.supfnd695)
On June 21, 1995, the New Hanover County
landfill was moved approximately .5 mile south of the original
digitized location. The 1:24,000-scale Carolina Beach 7.5 Minute
series topographic map was affected. Coordinate information in
the PAT was altered.

1.) filename: hsds395  (previously named nc.supfnd)
March 1995 was the original release date for this file.

  2. How were the data generated, processed, and modified?

    Date: Mar-1995 (process 1 of 3)
    Digitization of Hazardous Substance Disposal Sites; handdrawn delineations of sites were supplied by the Superfund Section on USGS 7.5 Minute series basemaps for digitization. The data were digitized on Calcomp digitizing tables. Points were given a 50-foot buffer, so they could be included in the same coverages as polygons. The files were attributed and checkplots were created for review by the Superfund Section. Necessary correction were made and new plots were run. Post processing of digitized data involved edgematching and mapjoining of USGS 7.5 Minute series maps used to create the digitized data. This process generated one statewide polygon coverage.

  3. What similar or related data should the user be aware of?


How reliable are the data; what problems remain in the data set?

  1. How well have the observations been checked?

    The Hazardous Substance Disposal Sites were originally supplied to NCCGIA by NC DEHNR-Div of Waste Management, Superfund Section with the locations delineated on USGS 1:24,000-scale 7.5 Minute series maps. The sites were digitized and attributed with a Superfund Section id number and a facility name, both of which were provided by the Superfund Section on the quad. Checkplots were made and overlayed on the USGS maps for review. Any necessary label corrections were made and new checkplots were run.

  2. How accurate are the geographic locations?

    Site locations were marked on 7.5 Minute USGS topographic maps which match National Map Accuracy Standards, using a best estimate with reference to surrounding features. All sites digitized as points were given a 50 foot buffer, so it would be possible to include all sites in one coverage (points and polygons cannot exist in the same coverage).

  3. How accurate are the heights or depths?

  4. Where are the gaps in the data? What is missing?

    These data represent the locations and identities of the Hazardous Substance Disposal Sites listed on both the National Priority List and the State Priority List as of June 21, 1995.

  5. How consistent are the relationships among the observations, including topology?

    Using ESRI's Arc/Info GIS software, the data set was built for arc and polygon topology using the "build" command. Topology has not been edited since the last build or clean.


How can someone get a copy of the data set?

Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?

Access_Constraints: None
Use_Constraints:
