IE GSI EPA Soil Recovery Facility Subsoil Domains Ireland (ROI) ITM

The Soil Recovery Facility (SRF) subsoil domain dataset is a broad-scale cartographic representation of the subsoil composition of Ireland with associated geochemical trigger values. The individual domains or units define areas of subsoil derived from similar bedrock sources. The domains thus comprise areas with broadly similar subsoil geochemistry. Data from the National Soils Database (EPA-Teagasc 2007) have been used to characterize each domain geochemically in order to set appropriate threshold or trigger levels for acceptance of waste soil and stone at licensed soil recovery facilities (SRFs).
