Superfund is a program administered by the EPA to locate, investigate, and clean up worst hazardous waste sites throughout the United States. EPA administers the Superfund program in cooperation with individual states and tribal governments. These sites include abandoned warehouses, manufacturing facilities, processing plants, and landfills - the key word here being abandoned. Only NPL sites have been included in Cleanups in My Community thus far. EPA maintains the NPL, which identifies for the States and the public those sites or other releases that appear to warrant remedial (long term) actions. These NPL sites fall into the following categories: Proposed: Sites may be proposed for the NPL and then may be placed on the NPL as final or be removed from the Proposed NPL. Final: Those sites placed on the NPL are called "final," and for these sites, a cleanup remedy is selected and implemented. However, it may be several years after construction of the remedy is completed before the hazardous substances are completely cleaned up or controlled in place. Deleted: After the clean up process is complete, and appropriate reviews confirm the area is cleaned up or the hazards are controlled, sites can be deleted from the NPL. For more information on the data provided through this web service, please see the processing steps below, and see more information here: https://www.epa.gov/cleanups/cimc-about-data#superfund. The CIMC web service was initially published in 2013, but the data are updated twice a month. The full schedule for data updates in CIMC is located here: https://ofmpub.epa.gov/frs_public2/frs_html_public_pages.frs_refresh_stats. This web service was developed for the CIMC web application, which provides the public with access to data from numerous cleanup programs, although it generally has broader applicability. Accidents, spills, leaks, and past improper disposal and handling of hazardous materials and wastes have resulted in tens of thousands of sites across our country that have contaminated our land, water (groundwater and surface water), and air (indoor and outdoor). EPA and its state and territorial partners have developed a variety of cleanup programs to assess and, where necessary, clean up these contaminated sites. CIMC (https://www.epa.gov/cimc) brings together the data from many of these cleanup programs and lets people map, list and access cleanup progress profiles for sites across the US so that people can know what is going on in their communities.

The processes used to collect location information for each type of data are as follows: Incidents of National Significance are derived from the official epa.gov web pages for each incident. Locations are collected for each incident individually, and may have varying accuracy. In the case where the original EPA pages did not provide a lat/long, a coordinate was placed manually based on the description provided about the site. Location information for Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) data are initially entered by the regulated facility. Location information for Brownfields data are originally entered by the Brownfields grantee. Location information for Superfund data are initially entered by the remedial project manager for each superfund site. Location information for Emergency Responses are initially entered by the On Scene Coordinator for each response. After initial data entry using the methods described above, locations are verified using a detailed process called the Facility Registry System (FRS) "Best Pick" Process. This process uses a number of routines and algorithms to validate location data for each site and to select the best location. Information regarding this process is available here: https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2015-09/documents/frs_representative_point_processing.pdf Because locations are assigned using numerous different methods, the accuracy level assigned to the data set is EPA National Geospatial Data Policy (NGDP) Tier 10 - Data were collected using methods that have unknown accuracy (EPA NGDP Accuracy Tier 10).

Information shown on the CIMC maps (including the latitudes and longitudes) and listed in the lists of sites, originates with the Superfund Public Use Database (SPUD), but goes through additional Quality Control in EPA's Facility Registry System to: Ensure the latitudes and longitudes are within the proper ranges based on the county, state and other geographic identifiers provided for the site, and that the coordinates we use are supported by the best metadata we have available, and integrate the data from the Superfund Public Use Database (SPUD) with data about the same sites from other EPA programs. We are continually in the process of improving this information, such as latitude and longitude information, which may not have method, accuracy and description information. For more information on the Superfund Enterprise Management System data in FRS and Envirofacts, please see the Envirofacts Superfund Enterprise Management System Overview page (https://www.epa.gov/enviro/sems-overview). For more information about the quality of the data in FRS, see the FRS home page (https://www.epa.gov/frs), the FRS documentation (https://www.epa.gov/frs/frs-documentation) and Programs Crosswalk (https://www.epa.gov/frs/frs-program-crosswalks). CIMC then links to the Site Progress Profiles in the Superfund Public Use Database (SPUD). SPUD contains a selected set of 'non-enforcement confidential' information and is updated by the regions every 90 days. These data describe what has happened at Superfund sites prior to this quarter (updated quarterly). For more information on SPUD, please see the Superfund Site Information Search page. 2015-01-01T00:00:00 James (Trip) Hook U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Geospatial Data Owner 1301 Constitution Avenue N.W.
