Collection and Documentation of General Descriptive Geospatial Site Data
This page provides access to the Collection and Documentation of General Descriptive Geospatial Site Data documentation. The purpose of this guidance is to provide a uniform method for collecting, documenting and managing geospatial information for sites subject to cleanup across all EPA Regional Offices under the following EPA’s statutory authorities: It currently supports cleanups under Superfund (the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, CERCLA) and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Corrective Action (CA) program, including Federal Facilities under both programs. It defines mandatory and optional elements for documenting cleanup site locations, boundaries and internal features. It provides for the transfer of this information to the authoritative Superfund and RCRA CA headquarters information systems for distribution to the public and other users, and for the documentation of this information in the Environmental Dataset Gateway (EDG).
