GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
This dataset contains Superfund/National Priority List (NPL) waste cleanup sites in the State of Florida. Superfund sites are hazardous waste cleanup sites that have been designated under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA). Superfund is the environmental program established to address these abandoned hazardous waste sites. The federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administers the Superfund Program in cooperation with the individual States and tribal governments. Responsible parties may clean up the Superfund site under an agreement with EPA; or EPA may clean up the site under a cost-share agreement using federal and state funds. State funding for cost-share agreements on Superfund sites comes from the Water Quality Assurance Trust Fund. Complete information on the federal Superfund Program and individual Florida Superfund sites is available on the EPA Superfund Website.

Florida National Priority List (Superfund) Sites. Years ago there was less 
understanding of how dumping or improper management of chemical wastes might 
adversely affect public health and the environment. The result of such practices 
was that hazardous substances contaminated thousands of properties across the 
nation. Congress passed legislation in 1980 that established the Superfund Program
in order to locate, investigate and cleanup these sites. The federal Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA) administers the Superfund Program in cooperation with the
individual States and tribal governments. The Hazard Ranking System (HRS) is the 
principal mechanism that EPA uses to evaluate sites for the National Priorities List 
(NPL). It is a numerically based screening system that uses information from initial, 
limited investigations "the preliminary assessment and the site inspection" to assess 
the potential of sites to pose a threat to human health or the environment. Sites are 
listed on the NPL upon completion of Hazard Ranking System screening, public 
solicitation of comments about the proposed site, and after all comments have been 
addressed. The responsible parties may clean up the Superfund site under an 
agreement with EPA; or, EPA may clean up the site under a cost-share agreement 
using federal and state funds. Complete information on the federal Superfund 
Program and individual Florida Superfund sites is available on the EPA Superfund 
Site Website.

EPA s Superfund program is responsible for cleaning up some of the nation s most 
contaminated land and responding to environmental emergencies, oil spills and 
natural disasters. To protect public health and the environment, the Superfund 
program focuses on making a visible and lasting difference in communities, ensuring
that people can live and work in healthy, vibrant places.

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:

This dataset was downloaded by the GeoPlan Center on 4/4/2019 from the FDEP website (http://geodata.dep.state.fl.us/). The data was received as a geodatabase and was in the following projection: NAD_1983_HARN_Florida_GDL_Albers. This dataset is updated daily. Contact the FDEP for the most recent data. - A DESCRIPT field was added based on NAME. - Added fields LAT_DD_1, LONG_DD_1, MGRS, and GOOGLEMAP. LAT_DD_1 and LONG_DD_1 were calculated using the calculate geometry command and selecting decimal degrees as the units. MGRS was calculated using the Convert Coordinate Notation tool and selecting Output coordinate Format as MGRS. The GOOGLEMAP field was calculated by concatenating: "https://www.google.com/maps/place/" & [MGRS]. - FGDLAQDATE was added based on date downloaded from source. - Deleted Object_ID, Area, and Length fields. - Upcased all records in the table. - Renamed file hazwaste_sp_npl_apr19 from hazwaste_sp Process Date: 20190404
