Description: Note: The Nuclear Power Plants database is a subset of Ventyx's Electric Power Generation Plants database, utilizing the following query (FUEL1=Nuc). The Electric Power Generation Plants feature class is a GIS file depicting significant power plants within the North American power grid. Although power plants often comprise a relatively large geographic region, features in this feature class are symbolized using a single point; the point is placed at the location of the highest density of generation capability within the plant complex. In very few cases, plants are symbolized using several points. This only occurs when a single reporting entity (power plant) exists at two or more geographically distinct locations (as is the case with some wind and geothermal facilities). In these rare cases, attribution refers to the entire power plant facility and not to the individually mapped generators. Specific, unit-level data for these features can be located in the Electric Generating Units feature class. The Electric Power Generation Plants feature class contains existing, retired, and proposed features. Features with current power generation potential can be isolated by examining the OP_CAP field for a positive value. Ventyx welcomes user input to help improve the quality of this dataset.

Description: The Platts Natural Gas Storage Facilities geospatial data layer contains points that represent locations of facilities used for natural gas storage in the United States. Common types of storage facilities include depleted gas reservoirs, aquifer storage fields, and salt cavern storage. Natural gas pipeline companies use storage facilities to maximize the use of the pipeline system all year and to quickly deliver natural gas to end-users during peak demand.
Description: The Platts Natural Gas Processing Plant geospatial data layer contains points that represent locations of processing plants in North America where 'pipeline quality' dry natural gas is separated from the various hydrocarbons and fluids from pure natural gas. The newly processed natural gas is then transported through the pipeline system to the local distribution companies and other end-users.
Description: The dataset depicts the authoritative locations of the most commonly known Department of Defense (DoD) sites, installations, ranges, and training areas worldwide. These sites encompass land which is federally owned or otherwise managed. This dataset was created from source data provided by the active, guard, and reserve components of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Washington Headquarters Services headquarters, and was compiled by the Defense Installation Spatial Data Infrastructure (DISDI) Program within the Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Installations and Environment, Business Enterprise Integration Directorate. Sites were selected from the Real Property Asset Database (RPAD), a summary of the DoD Real Property Inventory. This list does not necessarily represent a comprehensive collection of all Department of Defense facilities. For inventory purposes, installations are comprised of sites, where a site is defined as a specific geographic location of federally owned or managed land and is assigned to military installation. DoD installations are commonly referred to as a base, camp, post, station, yard, center, homeport facility for any ship, or other activity under the jurisdiction, custody, control of the DoD.

Description: During an Emergency Event, especially during the recovery phase of operations, significant amounts of debris must be removed from the impact zone in order to facilitate access to the impact area, begin restoration of basic services, and reconstruction of damaged and destroyed facilities in the impact zone. This data set is an attempt to locate Solid Waste facilities that debris can be directed to during recovery. This layer was initiated by extracting (based upon NAICS and SIC codes) Landfills from the EPA Facility Registry System (FRS) contained in HSIP Gold 2012. This collection is being supplemented, edited, and amended by source data maintained by individual States. This collection effort is limited to facilities that accept Municipal Solid Waste and/or Construction and Demolition Debris; AND that are considered ACTIVE based upon State permit at the time of release.Geographic locations of each entity were placed on visible vehicle scales associated with each facility, or the logical entrance to the facility if no vehicle scales we visible on imagery.
Description: The Mobile Home Parks shapefile contains locations that represent mobile home, residential trailer, and recreational vehicle (RV) parks within the Continental United States and Alaska. The people residing in these housing types are the most vulnerable residential population to hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding and other natural disasters. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 31% of the people that perished in tornadoes between 2009 and 2011 were residing in or fleeing from mobile homes. An inventory of mobile home park locations and the number of mobile homes within those parks is, therefore, essential for emergency preparedness, response, and evacuation.

Description: The Rail Lines layer represents the freight lines of the nation's railroad system. The data set covers all 50 states and the District of Colombia, as well as territories and possessions of the United States. No raillines exist in American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and the Virgin Islands of the US. This is a completed deliverable and is now in maintenance. Rail lines classified as abandoned, removed or trails on former rights-of-way may not be realigned. For this release, two rail status types have been removed from the database: Abandoned (STATUS = A), Removed (STATUS = R). Abandoned lines are those lines that have been officially designated by the Surface Transportation Board as withdrawn from service. Railroads continue to own the rights of way, but may elect to remove rail track, ties and ballast. Removed lines are those that have had the physical track removed with only the right of way remaining. In some instances, the right of way is no long owned by a railroad and is only a historical reference. Trails (STATUS = T) are lines that have had track removed and the rights of way converted to trails for public use. For trails, ownership has been set to 'XXXX', and the LINKID, FROMNODE and TONODE set to 0. Passenger-only lines (STATUS = Z) have also had LINKID, FROMNODE and TONODE set to 0. Setting these features to 0 removes these links from the routable freight rail network.

Description: Dam-Lines in the United States This dataset is provided as a polyline shapefile. According to the HSIP Tiger Team Report, a dam is defined as a "water barrier or an embankment built across the course of a stream or into a body of water to control and/or to impound the flow of water (breakwater, dike, jetty)." This dataset is based on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) National Inventory of Dams (NID) and the United States Geological Survey (USGS) National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). Records in the NID attributed as "Dams" were extracted by TGS under the classification of a maximum capacity of at least 2800 acre feet and/or classified as a "High Hazard" by using the query (([max_stor]>=2800) or ([hazard]="H")). Dam locations were digitized using any combination of ortho imagery, topographic DRGs, NAVTEQ streets, NHD flowlines, NHD landmarklines, TIGER hydrography, contact with authoritative sources or web research. A line was created by tracing the crest of the dam using referencing imagery and the NHD flowlines. Entities classified as both MaxCapacity and High Hazard are represented once. All information for entities located on the grounds of a military base should be treated as "For Official Use Only". These entities are indicated by "-DOD" appended to the end of the entity's name in the [NAME] attribute and by "UNCLASSIFIED - TREAT AS FOUO" in the [SECCLASS] attribute. Text fields in this dataset have been set to all upper case to facilitate consistent database engine search results. All diacritics (e.g., the German umlaut or the Spanish tilde) have been replaced with their closest equivalent English character to facilitate use with database systems that may not support diacritics. No entities for American Samoa, District of Columbia, the Northern Mariana Islands or the Virgin Islands are included in this dataset. The currentness of this dataset is indicated by the [GEODATE] attribute. Based upon this attribute the oldest record dates from 01/18/2007 and the newest record dates from 02/06/2009.
