Lockheed - EPA, Environmental Monitoring Systems Laboratory - Las Vegas

The "Lockheed - EPA, Environmental Monitoring Systems Laboratory - Las Vegas (LESC-EPA, EMLS-LV)" database consists of data obtained from the records of various state and federal agencies responsible for ongoing investigations of waste disposal sites. It was established to evaluate the performance of the indicator parameters specified for use in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). The database is now being used to evaluate the success of other regulatory monitoring programs, to develop ground-water contamination profiles for hazardous waste disposal sites, and to design industry-specific ground-water monitoring systems to protect human health and the environment. The database contains primarily ground-water monitoring data and some soil data from approximately 550 hazardous waste disposal sites investigations across the United States. These sites are regulated by various laws including RCRA and CERCLA. The data can be sorted by regulatory classification, by location/site, industry, region, state, or nation; or by sampling date.
