Historical Municipal Landfills

Historical Municipal Landfills The Historical Municipal Landfills dataset is a spatial representation of the locations of historic landfills in the province of Alberta. The data was originally captured in a 1982 survey conducted by MacLaren Plansearch Lavalin where counties within Alberta were asked to identify the quarter section that landfills were located in. MacLaren ranked the results of the survey categorizing landfill locations based on their potential risk for environmental and human health impacts. In 1985 Associated Engineering did an evaluation of a selection of sites which MacLaren had ranked as having the greatest potential risk and identified them on hardcopy aerial photographs. A subset of the remaining landfills in the MacLaren report were located on historic aerial photographs as part of an Alberta Environment and Protected Areas project where the footprint of the landfill was digitized. These three sources were used in the creation of this dataset: MacLaren Plansearch report. Associated Engineering Report. and Alberta Environment and Protected Areas digitization project. 2024-04-17 Government of Alberta AEP.Landfill-info@gov.ab.ca Government and Politics-CANADAALBERTAASSOCIATED-ENGINEERINGDISPOSALDUMPENVIRONMENTGARBAGEHISTORICMACLAREN-PLANSEARCH-LAVALINSANITATIONTRASHWASTE Historical Municipal Landfills (SHP) (From Alberta Geodiscorver Portal metadata)ZIP https://extranet.gov.ab.ca/srd/geodiscover/srd_pub/environment/HistoricalLandfills.zip Historical Municipal Landfills - (HTML)HTML https://geodiscover.alberta.ca/geoportal/rest/metadata/item/cedaf95880ed49c68aa259bbabc44634/html Historical Municipal Landfills - (XML)XML https://geodiscover.alberta.ca/geoportal/rest/metadata/item/cedaf95880ed49c68aa259bbabc44634/xml Original metadata (https://open.alberta.ca/opendata)HTML https://open.alberta.ca/opendata/372487fd-f238-4ae9-9943-6228db491351
