How accurate are TRI locations in TOXMAP?
TOXMAP - Frequently Asked QuestionsTOXMAP plots the location of most TRI facilities and Superfund sites using addresses and coordinates from the EPA Facility Registry System (FRS) (http://www.epa.gov/frs). The location of some of these may appear to be slightly inaccurate, because they are calculated by an estimation process.
Related QuestionsWhat TRI chemicals are mapped in TOXMAP?
TOXMAP - Frequently Asked QuestionsTOXMAP maps the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) chemicals reported to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as required by the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA). TOXMAP uses the most current TRI data available from the EPA. Data submission deadlines, data entry processes, and data quality control and review all influence the actual date of data release both by the EPA and by TOXMAP.
Related QuestionsHow current is the TRI data that TOXMAP uses?
TOXMAP - Frequently Asked QuestionsTOXMAP uses the most current TRI data available from the EPA. 1987 is the first reporting year of the TRI program. Data submission deadlines, data entry processes, and data quality control and review all influence the actual date of data release. A complete list of chemicals currently listed in TOXMAP TRI can be found at http://toxmap.nlm.nih.gov/toxmap/main/chemicals.jsp. A complete list of TRI chemicals required to be reported to the EPA can be found at http://www.epa.gov/tri/chemical/index.
Related QuestionsWhy are the locations of some TOXMAP facilities/sites slightly inaccurate?
TOXMAP - Frequently Asked QuestionsTOXMAP facility locations are calculated by an estimation process that relies on "geocoding." Geocoding is a method that assigns a latitude and a longitude to an address. Even the most accurate latitude/longitude coordinate calculations, including those used by TOXMAP, are estimates; this can account for minor inaccuracies in site locations on a map.

Land Cover for WyomingThe minimum mapping unit for upland cover types is 100 ha and 40 ha for water/riparian types, a level of generalization that was not intended to accurately portray accurate positional boundaries of vegetation. Polygons generally portray more than one cover type (primary, secondary and other), the actual boundaries between the different types being at too fine a scale to be captured at the the specified minimum mapping unit.

LiDAR Digital Ground Model Contour IsolinesThe contours were generated from ArcInfo lattice grids based on 6-foot center to center posting. Horizontal accuracy will be approximately 1/2 of the posting distance or about 3 feet in areas where point density is high (equivalent to 5-7 feet point spacing). Where point density is considerably reduced due to poorer to-ground penetration rates, the horizontal accuracy will be reduced proportionally and may be only accurate to 10-15 feet and locally accuracy will be even poorer.Related Questions

How accurate are class 0 locations?
CLS : Argos general - FAQError estimation of class 0 location is higher than 1.5 km. The error estimate (radius) for a Class 0 location is greater than 1500m and there is no upper limit - the error could be 50, 100, 500 km. Locations with errors less than say 10 km (usually the platform is close to the satellite ground track or random frequency instabilities are observed between messages), Very inaccurate locations, with errors above 50 km, which correspond to out-of-range instabilities from the oscillator.
