| Logical Consistency | ||||
| Completeness | This dataset contains approximately 35,000 features. There are approximately 3000 additional feedlots in the Delta database for which we have not generated spatial features. | |||
| Horizontal Positional Accuracy | Horizontal Accuracy is variable by feature. The accuracy of an individual feature can be determined by the value of the 'CONFIDENCE' column.

| Detailed Citation | Name: ID
Type: Text Length: 40 Description: Unique MPCA ID for the facility. Name: CONFIDENCE Type: Text Length: 1 Description: A rating of the confidence the agency has in the location. See CONFIDENCE Codes table for valid codes and meanings. Name: NAME Type: Text Length: 64 Description: Facility Name for the Feedlot or Livestock operation Name: CONTNAME Type: Text Length: 64 Description: Contact Name (Lastname, Firstname) for the operation Name: CONTPHONE Type: Text Length: 16 Description: 10 digit phone number for the above person; nnn-nnn-nnnn Name: PRIMSTOCK Type: Text Length: 10 Description: Code for the primary type of livestock at the facility. See PRIMSTOCK codes table. Name: TOTALAN Type: Integer Size: 8 Description: Number of total animals on the premise/feedlot Name: TOTALAU Type: Double Size: 12,3 Description: Number of total animals units on the premise/feedlot. An animal unit is a measure used to compare differences in the production of manure for an animal feedlot or manure storage area. Different animal unit calculation factors are applied based on the species and size of an animal. Name: BIRDS Type: Integer Size: 8 Description: Number of animals; any fowl, domesticated or game bird, of the Galliformes Order. Absence of a type of livestock at a feedlot should be denoted with a '0' in the appropriate field. Name: BOVINES Type: Integer Size: 8 Description: Number of animals; Cattle, Bison, or other animals in the Bovinae SubFamily. Absence of a type of livestock at a feedlot should be denoted with a '0' in the appropriate field. Name: DEERELK Type: Integer Size:: 8 Description: Number of animals; Deer, Elk, or other animals in the Cervidae Family. Absence of a type of livestock at a feedlot should be denoted with a '0' in the appropriate field. Name: GOATSHEEP Type: Integer Size: 8 Description: Number of animals; Goats, Sheep or other animals of the Caprinae SubFamily. Absence of a type of livestock at a feedlot should be denoted with a '0' in the appropriate field. Name: HORSES Type: Integer Size:: 8 Description: Number of animals; Horse, Donkey, Mule, or other animal of the Equidae Family. Absence of a type of livestock at a feedlot should be denoted with a '0' in the appropriate field. Name: LLAMALPAC Type: Integer Size: 8 Description: Number of animals; Llamas, Alpacas, or other animals in the Camelidae Family. Absence of a type of livestock at a feedlot should be denoted with a '0' in the appropriate field. Name: PIGS Type: Integer Size: 8 Description: Number of animals; Pigs, Hogs, Swine, or other animals in the Suidae Family. Absence of a type of livestock at a feedlot should be denoted with a '0' in the appropriate field. Name: OTHER Type: Integer Size: 8 Description: Number of animals; Foxes, Rabbits, Mink, & other unknown or unspecified species. Absence of a type of livestock at a feedlot should be denoted with a '0' in the appropriate field. Name: ACTIVE Type: Text Size: 1 Description: A 'Y' or 'N' value to identify whether this facility is currently active. Name: OPEN_LOT Type: Text Size: 1 Description: A 'Y' or 'N' value to identify whether this facility is considered an open lot. An uncovered lot intended for the confined feeding, breeding, raising, or holding of animals and specifically designed as a confinement area in which manure may accumulate, or where the concentration of animals is such that a vegetative cover cannot be maintained within the enclosure. Valid Codes for CONFIDENCE Field Code: 1 Confidence Level: Very High Description: Location GPS'd or identified using heads-up digitizing by a knowledgeable party over high-resolution aerial photography Code: 2 Confidence Level: High Description: Location address matched with a high degree of confidence using multiple levels of complete street, city, and zip code information Code: 3 Confidence Level: Medium Description: Location matched to a Public Land Survey (PLS) description to the section level or beyond Code: 4 Confidence Level: Low Description: Location matched to a Public Land Survey (PLS) description at the township level, or address matched to zip code, city or county Code: 5 Confidence Level: Unknown Description: Unknown methods were used to create the location | |||
