Data Description

Data Set Name 

Sludge application, 1976, Lorain, OH

This theme is an analysis of the limitations for the application of municipal sewage sludge to agricultural land. Only limitations dependent on soil properties are included in the analysis. Soil mapping unit evaluations were provided by Mr Karl Schneider, Lorain County District Conservationist, USDA, NRCS. Land use was combined with the soil ratings to screen out unsuitable land use types. The coverages used in this analysis were digitized using a run length encoding technique sampling along horizontal lines which represented the midline of cells with a height of 250 feet. The measurement increment along these horizontal lines was one decafoot (10 feet). The quadrangle files were then merged into a county raster based file which was subsequently converted to ARC/INFO format. The user should bear in mind that these coverages are only an approximation of the data. Additional details on the digitizing process are available on request
