Most polygons represent sites considered for cleanup under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA or Superfund). Typical sites are either on the EPA National Priorities List (NPL) or are being considered for inclusion on the NPL. The hazardous waste site boundaries maintained by the Geospatial Research, Analysis, and Services Program (GRASP, Division of Health Studies, Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) contain NPL and non-NPL hazardous waste site boundaries for which health assessments or consultations have been requested. Purpose: To provide the ATSDR polygon data set of hazardous waste sites in the United States, Puerto Rico, and other territories which can be used to identify nearby populations and assess their potential risk.

A history of each edit made to a shapefile (with corresponding comments) is maintained. On a daily basis, these shapefiles are used to generate a Hazardous Waste Site polygon layer within the GRASP Geobase. Any problems that are encountered during the creation of the Hazardous Waste Site layer are logged to a report that is accessible via the GRASP Intranet Web Site. Completeness_Report: A variety of data are used to define each site boundary that GRASP analyzes. These varying pieces of data include digital spatial data, USGS quad sheets, aerial photographs, topographic maps, GPS coordinates, and verbal descriptions. Although all pieces of information do not exist for each site, GRASP staff synthesizes information from as many sources as possible to develop an accurate site boundary.
