USER NOTES:








This data is provided 'as is'. GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the original data layer's topology













The data in this file is a reconciliation of all the data the TRI program has collected from a
facility over the course of its participation in the TRI program. Most facilities have sent in
several chemical reports (form Rs and As) each year, for a number of years When the data is
collected at the TRI Data Processing Center, differences from form to form and year to year are
identified, researched and reconciled. The result is a database of facility identification
information that is consist and up to date.

Some of the data that appears in this file is not a result of facility reconciliation. The Title of
the Certifying Official, Certifying Official s Name, Entire Facility Ind,
Partial_Facility_Ind, Federal Facility Ind, GOCO Facility Ind and the SIC codes are all
taken from the last active and valid form the facility submitted. All other data is the result of the
reconcilation process.













GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within
the original data.

























The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) is a database containing detailed information on nearly 650 chemicals and 
chemical categories that over 23,000 industrial and federal facilities manage through disposal or other releases, 
and waste management for recycling, energy recovery, or treatment.  This inventory was established under the 
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA) and expanded by the Pollution Prevention
Act of 1990. 

For Reporting Year 2003, 23,811 facilities reported to EPA s TRI Program.  These facilities reported 4.44 billion 
pounds of on-site and off-site disposal or other releases of the almost 650 toxic chemicals.  Over 88 percent of 
the total was disposed of or otherwise released on-site; almost 12 percent was sent off-site for disposal or other
releases.















The following facilities plot outside of the the physcial State of Florida, 
which is a known problem.  The following points, according to TRIFID, 
were deleted from this dataset due to this condition.  The EPA TRI Facility 
Siting tool located at http://www.epa.gov/tri/report/siting_tool/index.htm 
will allow you to get accurate latitude and longitude coordinates.  

Deleted TRIFID points: 32206-LLBRT-2204H, 32905-TKQST-251KI, 
33760-SPMNF-6050U, 34691-FLDRP-1729B, 33316-MCLC0-1180S,

THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE 'AS IS' AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED
AS LEGALLY BINDING. THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA GEOPLAN CENTER SHALL
NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES SUFFERED AS A RESULT OF USING,

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:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY: 








Data originally released by the U.S. Environmental  
Protection Agency in May 2005.  When 
GeoPlan received the dataset it was in tab delimited 
format. The original data was limited to the state of Florida.
Process Date: 20051223


Data was downloaded from US Environmental Protection
Agency website in text format to GeoPlan in October 2005.  
GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included 
the following aspects:

(1) Projected data to FGDL Albers.
(2) Deleted points which plotted outside the State of Florida
(3) Deleted the following fields:  PRIMARY SIC CODE, SIC CODE 2, SIC CODE 3, SIC CODE 4, 
SIC CODE 5, SIC CODE 6, POTW B-NAME. POTW B-ADDRESS, POTW B-CITY, POTW B-STATE,
POTW B-COUNTY, POTW B-ZIP
(4) Added the FGDLAQDATE field.
(5) Added DESCRIPT item based on TRIFID.
Process Date: 20060109
