Abstract:
Solid waste management facilities [Sanitary Landfills, Construction/Demolition Debris Landfills, Transfer Stations, Materials Recovery Facilities, Energy Recovery/Incineration Facilities, and RMW (Regulated Medical Waste) Facilities] provide an important service to existing and prospective industrial facilities. A statewide coverage of solid waste management facilities was developed at the Virginia Economic Development Partnership to aid in the process of selecting industrial sites for new industries and businesses. All the information pertaining to solid waste management facilities was provided by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). The DEQ provided a spreadsheet of all the permitted solid waste management facilities from April 2008. This dataset includes active solid waste management facilities.
Purpose:
The purpose of this data set is to provide a geographic representation of the location of each active solid waste management facility in the Commonwealth. This data combined with infrastructure, utility, environmental sensitivity, labor, demographics and quality of life data are used to select sites and buildings for industrial development based on a prospect's needs.
Supplemental_Information:
This dataset is currently incomplete, however all active solid waste management facilities have been properly identified. These points are suitible for use. All other points, specifically closed facilities, are only accurate to the zipcode level at this time. Location verification is properly attributed within.

Pursuant to Section 54.1-402, paragraph C of the Code of Virginia, which is quoted below, this data may not be used for purposes listed in said paragraph C, since the data was not created, nor is it maintained under the supervision of a licensed land surveyor. "C. Persons utilizing photogrammetric methods or similar remote sensing technology shall not be required to be licensed as a land surveyor pursuant to subsection B of § 54.1-404 or 54.1-406 to: (i) determine topography or contours, or to depict physical improvements, provided such maps or other documents shall not be used for the design, modification, or construction of improvements to real property or for flood plain determination, or (ii) graphically show existing property lines and boundaries on maps or other documents provided such depicted property lines and boundaries shall only be used for general information.

Any determination of topography or contours, or depiction of physical improvements, utilizing photogrammetric methods or similar remote sensing technology by persons not licensed as a land surveyor pursuant to § 54.1-406 shall not show any property monumentation or property metes and bounds, nor provide any measurement showing the relationship of any physical improvements to any property line or boundary.

Any person not licensed pursuant to subsection B of § 54.1-404 or 54.1-406 preparing documentation pursuant to subsection C of § 54.1-402 shall note the following on such documentation: 'Any determination of topography or contours, or any depiction of physical improvements, property lines or boundaries is for general information only and shall not be used for the design, modification, or construction of improvements to real property or for flood plain determination."
