Environmental Protection Agency (Data creator) Originator: Indiana Geological Survey(Data preparation) Publication_Date: 20080922 Title: AREAS_OF_CONCERN_GRAND_CALUMET_EPA: Grand Calumet River Area of Concern (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Polygon Shapefile) Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: Vector digital data Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Chicago, Illinois Publisher: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Other_Citation_Details: This data set was downloaded on September 22, 2008, by personnel of Indiana Geological Survey (IGS) from the Great Lakes Areas of Concern Web site of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ( http://www.epa.gov/glnpo/aoc/ ). The data was provided in an ESRI shapefile format, and was named AOC_IN_GRANDCALUMET. Online_Linkage: Http://igs.indiana.edu/lakerim Description: Abstract: The following is excerpted from the metadata provided by EPA for the source shapefile AOC_IN_GRANDCALUMET: "In an effort to clean up the most polluted areas in the Great Lakes, the United States and Canada committed to working with State and Provincial governments to develop Remedial Action Plans for designated Areas of Concern (AOC) in the Great Lakes Basin. Currently there are 26 AOCs wholly within the United States and five that are shared by both the United States and Canada. This shapefile provides a polygon boundary for the Grand Calumet AOC in Northern Indiana. In developing the polygon boundary, the description of each AOC provided by EPA was used as a starting point for collecting basemap information to aid in the delineation of each boundary. Using Digital Orthophotography, Digital Raster Graphics, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) layers such as watersheds, and water bodies where available, each polygon was then digitized and reviewed by representatives of both EPA and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management for agreement. Sources of digital information used in the development of the AOC include the USGS, the Microsoft Corporation Terraserver () and CAAGIS at Purdue University ()." Purpose: The following is excerpted from the metadata provided by EPA for the source shapefile AOC_IN_GRANDCALUMET: "The main use of the delineated AOC boundaries is for EPA and State governments to locate those sites listed on the National Priorities List or other sites that are in close proximity or may have contributed to the pollution within each AOC. These analyses are completed on a relatively small scale of the areas in and around each AOC. Attributes only include the AOC name and the predominant state in which the AOC is located. The boundaries should not be used for large scale, high resolution mapping analyses."

Completeness_Report: The following is excerpted from the metadata provided by EPA for the source shapefile AOC_IN_GRANDCALUMET: "Given the general nature of many descriptions of the AOCs, the boundaries were digitized using shorelines of the rivers and lakes as depicted on the digital orthophotographs and digital raster graphics. Where landmarks are mentioned in the AOC description, such as rivers and dams, those landmarks were identified on the digital raster graphics and were also used in creating the AOC boundaries. In instances where AOCs include a watershed, those boundaries were obtained through EPA's BASINS website at , and modified according to their description. For the Grand Calumet AOC, revisions have been made by local representatives of the Indiana Department of Environmental Management during the Spring of 2003."
