Metadata created using Minnesota Geographic Metadata Guidelines

Metadata Summary

Originator	Metropolitan Council
Abstract	This layer contains data showing the locations of where the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) accepts the discharge of hauled wastewater. The Industrial Waste & Pollution Prevention Section (IWPP) regulates hauled liquid waste discharged to the Metropolitan Disposal System. This waste includes wastewater from septic tanks, holding tanks, commercial establishments, industrial souces and leachate. Industrial and leachate loads are only accepted at the Metro Liquid Waste Receiving site at the Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment Plant in St. Paul. Only companies permitted through IWPP's LWH Permit program are allowed to use the sites. In addition to the LWH disposal sites, the Vactor site is also included in this dataset. The Vactor site is used for the disposal of sewer cleaning sludge and can only be used by communities located within the 7 county area.

Attribute Accuracy	No formal assessment of the attribute accuracy has been made.
Logical Consistency	The dataset is topologically 'clean'.
Completeness	Entire seven county geographic area is covered.
Horizontal Positional Accuracy	The positional accuracy of the data set has not been tested under the National Standards for Spatial Data Accuracy. The positional accuracy of the data set is estimated to be 20 ft. Most of the points were established using a Trimble ProXR GPS, Model TSC1PN, however, a few points were established using aerial photography and the MCES interceptor layer file.
