Title:
What's In My Neighborhood Sites
Abstract:
The MPCA's What's in My Neighborhood contains a wide variety of environmental information about your community. This includes potentially contaminated sites, permits, licenses, registrations, inspections, and closed enforcement activities.
Potentially contaminated sites: Since the early 1980s when major federal and state cleanup programs were created, the MPCA has been aggressively searching for and helping to clean up contaminated properties, from very small to large. This website contains a searchable inventory of those properties, as well as sites that have already been cleaned up and those currently being investigated or cleaned up.
Environmental permits and registrations: This Web application also contains a searchable inventory of businesses that have applied for and received different types of environmental permits and registrations from the MPCA.
Methods for creating site locations have different levels of precision. The most accurate locations use coordinates from GPS (global positioning system). Coordinates are also derived using the site's street address, zip code or public land survey information. Some MPCA sites are not mapped. These are generally activities that are mobile, like ships with ballast water permits.
Purpose:
The data set was created as part of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's What's in My Neighborhood web application, which allows for public access to sites with environmental cleanup, pollution prevention, permitted, registered, or licensed activities.

Section 2: Data Quality
Attribute Accuracy:
Attribute information comes from multiple sources, including information submitted by the site owner, information determined by MPCA staff, and information derived based on the location of the site.
The accuracy of this information has not been verified.
Logical Consistency:
No known issues with logical consistency for this point data set.
Completeness:
At this time, this data set does not contain a feature for every site in the What's In My Neighborhood application. There is an ongoing effort to improve data completeness and quality.
Horizontal Positional Accuracy:
Coordinates for these features were collected using a variety of methods of varying accuracy. The 'COORD_METH' column in the attribute table describes the method used to determine the coordinate for each feature.
A description of the coordinate collection values found in the 'COORD_METH' column can be found in the 'Attributes' section of this document.
Vertical Positional Accuracy:
Not applicable. The features in this data set do not contain Z (vertical) values.
Lineage:
Coordinates for these features were collected using a variety of methods of varying accuracy. The 'COORD_METH' column in the attribute table describes the method used to determine the coordinate for each feature.
A description of the coordinate collection values found in the 'COORD_METH' column can be found in the 'Entities and Attributes' section of this document.
