  Description:
    Abstract:
      CERCLIS is a national computerized management information system that
      automates entry, updating, and retrieval of Comprehensive
      Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Information System
      data and tracks site and non-site specific Superfund data in support
      of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
      Liability Act.  It contains information on hazardous waste site
      assessment and remediation.

      For distribution with BASINS v.2.0, the spatial attributes of the 
      database were prepared in Arcview shape file format while  selected 
      relational attributes were prepared in Arcview DBF file format.

    Purpose:

      The CERCLIS database was developed as a repository for site and
      non-site specific Superfund data in support of the Comprehensive
      Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA).

      Limitations_of_Data:
      Not all CERCLIS sites reported in the conterminous U.S. are included.
      Superfund National Priority List Sites are found in this dataset.
      For example, sites with no assigned locational coordinates cannot
      be included.

      Reviews_Applied:
      Positional and attribute accuracy are verified by taking independent 
      samples of the data, viewing the data using ARCEDIT, and comparing the
      displayed data with matching records from Envirofacts.

      ARC/INFO watch files are created during the extraction of data from the 
      EF Oracle database, the processing of the EF data into ARC/INFO point 
      coverages, and the insertion of the point coverages into ESDLS. These
      files are created to monitor and verify that the processing occurred 
      without error.

    Process_Step:
      Process_Description:
        The BASINS CERCLIS data layer for the conterminous U.S. was created 
        through further processing of ESDLS spatial coverage 
        ( http://www.epa.gov/enviro/html/esdls/esdls_over.html ) of EPA regulated 
        facilities and from selected CERCLIS data downloaded from the 
        Envirofacts Oracle database.  The ESDLS coverage 
        is broken into four separate Arc/Info coverages representing the NE, SE, 
        NW and SW quadrants of the conterminous U.S. was downloaded from 
        ftp://ftp.epa.gov/pub/spdata/ef as compressed Arc/Info export (e00) 
        files.  The coverages were reprojected from Albers Conic Equal Area 
        projection with datum NAD83 to geographic decimal degrees.  They were 
        then converted to Arcview shape files using the Arc/Info ARCSHAPE 
        command.  Using Arcview, the shape files were merged to produce a single 
        shape file that contains the point locations of EPA regulated facilities 
        for the entire conterminous U.S.   The shape file that contains the 
        point locations of the facilities was generated by selecting only the 
        facilities that fall under the CERCLIS program system. Facilities that 
        are shown to be located (e.g. based on lat-long coordinates) outside the 
        land boundary of the conterminous U.S. were excluded.
        Selected attribute tables were downloaded from the Envirofacts database 
        to supplement the attribute data that was available in the ESDLS 
        coverage.  The  CER_SITE_SUMMARY table in the Envirofacts database is 
        joined permanently with the primary attribute table of the ESDLS 
        coverage to produce the new primary attribute table of the BASINS 
        CERCLIS data layer.   No related tables were created for this data layer.

        For distribution with BASINS v2.0, the national coverage was 
        split into a series of coverages that included the spatial 
        extent of each of the ten U.S. EPA Regions, plus the hydrologic 
        accounting units that crossed region boundaries.  The ten 
        regional coverages therefore overlapped at regional boundaries.  
        The coverages were distributed in PC ARC/INFO coverage format.
