This dataset represents a 300-foot buffer multiple types of landfills that are no longer operational. The database contains buffers of the locations of sites that were historically used for solid waste disposal around the State of Ohio based on file archives at the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. The sites were derived from files that were archived under the solid waste regulatory program; however, there may have been more than one type of waste at some sites. The sites are primarily solid waste disposal sites, including municipal solid waste, industrial solid waste, residual solid waste, and construction and demolition debris. Some sites with hazardous waste are also included. The types of sites may include licensed landfills, landfills that existed prior to state regulatory programs, exempt waste sites, unauthorized dumps, open dumps, and disposal lagoons.The database also contains buffers of the locations of about 1200 old abandoned dumps or landfills. This database was developed from Ohio EPA staff notebooks and other information dating from the mid-1970’s, including old Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste Management and DERR files, the Eckhardt Report and the 1976 Groundwater Pollution Inventory-Summary of Land Disposal. |
