Abstract: The Solid Waste Facility Datalayer was compiled by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to track the locations of landfills, transfer stations, and combustion facilities. This statewide datalayer contains the majority of facilities currently regulated under DEP's solid waste regulations (310 CMR 16.00 & 19.00). The polygons in the datalayer include thirteen specific types of solid waste facilities (see ATTRIBUTES below) and are stored at MassGIS as a statewide polygon coverage, SW. Those within the study area of the NOAA 133 Urban Areas Initiative Boston Pilot have been clipped out of the statewide composite to produce this layer.

Description:

Abstract:

The Solid Waste Facility Datalayer was compiled by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to track the locations of landfills, transfer stations, and combustion facilities. This statewide datalayer contains the majority of facilities currently regulated under DEP's solid waste regulations (310 CMR 16.00 & 19.00). The polygons in the datalayer include thirteen specific types of solid waste facilities (see ATTRIBUTES below) and are stored at MassGIS as a statewide polygon coverage, SW. Those within the study area of the NOAA 133 Urban Areas Initiative Boston Pilot have been clipped out of the statewide composite to produce this layer.

Purpose:

The solid waste datalayer was originally digitized from USGS Quadrangle maps (1:25,000) filed as part of the operating permit (310 CMR 19.00) or siting (310 CMR 16.00) requirements for landfills.

Supplemental information:

Please note although the majority of the polygons represent landfills, only a small fraction of those landfills are active. Furthermore, this datalayer contains only solid waste facilities for which DEP had sufficient mapping information to provide a location. The MassGIS Land Use datalayer has waste site and mining classifications that may represent landfills not in the solid waste datalayer.
