The term “inactive” refers to the fact that cleanup was inactive at large numbers of sites at the time of program enactment.  This data set includes closed remediation sites that have land use restrictions recorded as part of the remedy.</abstract><purpose>The purpose of this data set is to provide a geographic representation of the location of inactive hazardous sites. This dataset is intended for general planning and mapping purposes (rather than highly accurate analytical or public health purposes).  Many of the data points were collected through automatic geocoding methods using the address field.  In many cases the address information is limited.  Due to limits on currently available location information, some locations may be off by several miles.</purpose><supplinf>The Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch (IHSB), within the Superfund Section of the DWM, is responsible for oversight and approval of the assessment and remediation of all historical, and any recent accidental releases of hazardous substances and pollutants with the exceptions outlined below.  The Branch oversees remedial actions, conducts any necessary enforcement of assessment and remediation at sites deemed to be a priority, and conducts the work itself at orphaned sites when state resources are available for such.
