Proximity of Texas Sanitary Landfills to Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats: Data on Individual Landfills

摘要

Sanitary landfills can cause considerable harm to sensitive ecosystems if they are not properly located, designed, and managed. The purpose of the report is to document the proximity of individual sanitary landfills in the state of Texas to wetlands and deepwater habitats (i.e., rivers, lakes, streams, bays, etc.); a companion report summarizes the statewide results. The data on individual landfills include: (1) general facility/site data, and (2) wetlands/deepwater habitat data.
