The storage tank location infomation is from the 1998 StarView database published by Vista Infomrmation Solutions, Inc. The sampling sites are from the NAWQA data warehouse. All sampling sites (surface-water and ground-water) are included. Purpose: This is one of the ancillary GIS data layers developed to characterize NAWQA sampling sites for national synthesis of water-quality data. Supplemental_Information: Stations in Alaska and Hawaii are included. Some sites that fall outside the US boundary (ie a few in REDN and quite a few in PUGT) will have zero counts.

Status: Progress: Complete Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: Additional NAWQA sampling sites may be added as needed.

Process_Step: Process_Date: 20050504 Process_Description: The core processing method was to create a tabulation listing all storage tanks near each NAWQA sampling site. The ArcInfo command that does this point-to-point tabulation is POINTDISTANCE which has a limit of 130,000 points. So, the first step was to first select NAWQA sites close to the 1.3M tank points coverage. The resulting two coverages both had fewer than 130,000 points so the POINTDISTANCE command could be run. Each starview point has its source coded as follows: >2=underground storage tank (UST) >3=leaking underground storage tank (LUST) >17=county database LUST >21= aboveground storage tank (AST) >22=county database UST These were recoded so all would be tabulated UST, LST, or AST. Duplicates by VISTAID, DATAID and TANKTYPE were removed to minimize multiple counts of the same sites. Some duplicates remain when the same site was recorded in more than one database, e.g. both the UST and LUST EPA databases. The POINTDISTANCE output was then reselected for all pairs with the DISTANCE item int he table <= 500 and <= 1000 to tabulate using these two buffer distances. The FREQUENCY and GROUP2ROW commands were then used to count up the number of UST, LUST and AST records around each NAWQA sampling site. The final file structure includes STAID and counts for the two buffer distances of UST,LUST,AST and the total of all.
