Chapter 15 Disposal Collection
The Disposal Collection describes all Provider data related to formal disposal sites (landfills, rendering facilities, or incineration facilities). Each disposal site is expected to represent a single unique physical location, although more than one activity may occur at that location.
15.1 Understanding and using the Disposal Collection
There are several key features and properties of the Disposal Collection that users should understand to effectively use the Collection:
- unique Disposal IDs
- type of Disposal site
- location data
- data sharing between providers
15.1.1 Unique Disposal IDs
Each Disposal site must be uniquely identified with the Disposal ID property. Disposal ID may be any string of letters, numbers, and/or characters, but must be unique per Provider. It is recommended that the unique identifier match that used by the Provider to identify the Disposal site.
15.1.2 Type of Disposal Site
The type property describes whether a Disposal site is a landfill, rendering facility, or incinerator. Disposal by landfill assumes that carcasses, parts, bulk, or roadkill are deposited on the land. Disposal by rendering facility assumes that carcasses, parts, bulk, or roadkill are recycled into other forms. Disposal by incinerator assumes that the carcasses, parts, bulk, or roadkill are burned.
15.1.3 Location Data
A Disposal site’s location may be important for CWD surveillance, management, or other applications. The sub-administrative area in which a Disposal is located is used in several Models and Visualizations. For instance, only Disposals with assigned sub-administrative areas will be included in the Risk-weighted Surveillance Quotas Model or Hazard Model 2.0. The precise location of a Disposal may be geocoded from a provided address or through direct entry of a latitude/longitude pair of values in decimal degrees.
