EPA Generated: the "CERC_AK" Dataset

The source of the CERC_AK mapping dataset is the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 10. This data represents the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). The CERC_AK dataset was generated by EPA in January, 1996.
