Waste Disposal Site Inventory Data

Description:

This data resource provides the locations of all active and inactive waste disposal sites in Ontario. This data is based on the 1991 publication "Waste Disposal Site Inventory" published by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment. The Library received the data in September 2005. The data includes the following waste disposal site information:

Well Water log information for the Municipality of Waterloo
Location (point file)	Lot	Closing Year
County	Concession	Closing Date
Municipality	Closest Street Intersection	Class
