| Abstract | This layer contains data for the companies that have been issued an Industrial Discharge Permit by the Industrial Waste & Pollution Prevention Section of the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services Division. MCES is delegated as the Control Authority to regulate the use of the public sanitary sewer system within the MCES seven county service area. Companies are issued an Industrial Discharge Permit if they are determined to have a significant impact on the public sewer system. These data also include permitted facilities outside of the seven county service area that hold a permit with MCES. These permits are for wastewater hauled into the service area. More information about the industrial waste program of the Metropolitan Council's Environmental Services Division can be found at http://www.metrocouncil.org/environment/IndustrialWaste/index.htm . |

| Section 2 | Data Quality Information | Top of full metadata | Top of page | |
| Attribute Accuracy | No formal assessment of the attribute accuracy has been made. Some missing and inaccurate data is known to exist in the following fields: - COUNTY - CATEGORY - ZIP |
|||
| Logical Consistency | The dataset is topologically 'clean'. | |||
| Completeness | Entire state is covered, although relatively few points exist beyond the seven county metro area. See attribute accuracy for issues related to attribute completeness. |
|||
| Horizontal Positional Accuracy | The positional accuracy of the dataset has not been tested under the National Standards for Spatial Data Accuracy. Most of the points were established using a Trimble ProXR GPS, Model TSC1PN. Typically a technician took a reading from the parking lot of the permitted facility. In the situation where a GPS position has not been taken or it could not be obtained due to interference, a feature was added to the layer via heads-up digitizing using the Metropolitan Council's year 2000 ortho photos. |
