Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) is the Federal standard for geographic nomenclature. The U.S. Geological Survey developed the GNIS for the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, a Federal inter-agency body chartered by public law to maintain uniform feature name usage throughout the Government and to promulgate standard names to the public. The GNIS is the official repository of domestic geographic names data; the official vehicle for geographic names use by all departments of the Federal Government; and the source for applying geographic names to Federal electronic and printed products of all types.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Beginning with the April 2023 release, these GNIS data represent renaming of features that had names that are considered to be offensive. See https://www.usgs.gov/us-board-on-geographic-names for more information. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>In addition, this is the first release of the GNIS that does not include cemeteries, schools, wells, mines, churches, and many other features.

Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>Selected landfills permitted in North Dakota. Users of this dataset can symbolize by field WASTETYPE to distinguish between various facilities. WASTETYPE is the primary type of waste a facility is permitted to accept. Some facilities may accept other types of waste but this field contains the primary waste type. Can include municipal solid waste (MSW), industrial, special-energy, special-oilfield, agricultural. In the future, the field may also include special energy-CCR and special energy -NonCCR. CCR stands for coal combustion residuals.</SPAN></P><TABLE><TBODY><TR><TD><P STYLE="text-align:Center;margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>WASTETYPE field</SPAN></SPAN></P></TD><TD><P STYLE="text-align:Center;margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Definition</SPAN></SPAN></P></TD></TR><TR><TD><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Municipal</SPAN></SPAN></P></TD><TD><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>solid refuse and trash generated by public and private facilities; can include household waste, etc. Full definition in NDCC 23.1-08-02(10)</SPAN></SPAN></P></TD></TR><TR><TD><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Industrial </SPAN></SPAN></P></TD><TD><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>solid waste that is not hazardous generated from industrial and manufacturing processes.
