Summary
Planning and analysis
Description
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 and 19.00). Features include thirteen specific types of solid waste facilities. In ArcSDE two feature classes exist - SW_POLY (polygons) and SW_PT (point feature class, with one point for each polygon). Please note although the majority of the features in the Solid Waste Facilities datalayer represent landfills, only a small fraction of those landfills are active. In addition, this datalayer does not contain all solid waste facilities known to DEP. The MassGIS Land Use datalayer has waste site and mining classifications that may represent landfills not in the solid waste datalayer.
