This data set defines both current and historic landfills/waste disposal storage sites for the State of Vermont. Historic landfills were identified with the publication of the Vermont Ground Water Pollution Source Inventory by the Agency of Environmental Conservation, Department of Water Resources and Environmental Engineering Water Quality Division, December 1980. Current landfill locations supplied by the Solid Waste Division of the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources, Department of Environmental Conservation.This dataset includes: active landfills - currently accepting waste, geo-located; closed landfills- ceased accepting waste and completed closure under solid waste regulations (post-1988), geo-located; historic landfills - ceased accepting waste prior to solid waste regulation implementation (pre-1988), locations obtained from a 1990 Vermont Groundwater Pollution Source Inventory completed by the Department of Waster Resources and Environmental Engineering Groundwater Management Section. The listing of historic landfills is likely incomplete.

This is a points dataset of the location of current Waste facilities (including licensed, applied, surrendered, rejected etc.) In 1996 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) began licensing certain activities in the waste sector. These include landfills, transfer stations, hazardous waste disposal and other significant waste disposal and recovery activities. Further information about each license can be found on the EPA website.
