This page last updated:
Metadata created using Minnesota Geographic Metadata Guidelines


Metadata Summary

Originator MPCA
Abstract
Leaking underground storage tank sites that are entered in the MPCA TALES database and that have a geographic coordinate.
Browse Graphic None available
Time Period of Content Date
Currentness Reference
Locations attempt to represent sites where leaking underground storage tanks were at one time present.  Many of these sites no longer have tanks of any kind present.  

The data is as current as the file creation dates for the shapefile.
Access Constraints
None.  Data is publicly available and free of charge.

Section 2 Data Quality Information Top of full metadata Top of page
Attribute Accuracy
Attributes come from DELTA TALES, which is maintained by MPCA petroleum remediation staff.  Staff make corrections when problems are found.
Logical Consistency


Completeness
Spatial features exist for most leak sites.
Horizontal Positional Accuracy
Locations have been generated by a number of methods through a number of processes over the years.  Accuracy depends greatly upon the method used to create the locational data.  In general, methods utilizing GPS and digitizing will provide the most accurate data.
Lineage
Data extracted from the MPCA DELTA and TALES databases.
Data converted to feature class
Dataset copied.
