This is a reference dataset for the Virginia Water Quality Standards for all lakes and reservoirs within the Virginia state boundary. See section 9VAC-25-260 of the Virginia Administrative Code for specific standards descriptions.

Boundary of permitted sites that includes one or more land application fields, and may include setback areas or other areas not authorized for land application of biosolids and/or other residuals.

selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation.

After each decennial census, the Census Bureau delineates urban areas that represent densely developed territory, encompassing residential, commercial, and other nonresidential urban land uses. In general, this territory consists of areas of high population density and urban land use resulting in a representation of the "urban footprint." There are two types of urban areas: urbanized areas (UAs) that contain 50,000 or more people and urban clusters (UCs) that contain at least 2,500 people, but fewer than 50,000 people (except in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam which each contain urban clusters with populations greater than 50,000). Each urban area is identified by a 5-character numeric census code that may contain leading zeroes.

Access Constraints: None, Use Constraints:The TIGER/Line Shapefile products are not copyrighted however TIGER/Line and Census TIGER are registered trademarks of the U.S. Census Bureau. These products are free to use in a product or publication, however acknowledgement must be given to the U.S. Census Bureau as the source. The boundary information in the TIGER/Line Shapefiles are for statistical data collection and tabulation purposes only; their depiction and designation for statistical purposes does not constitute a determination of jurisdictional authority or rights of ownership or entitlement and they are not legal land descriptions.Coordinates in the TIGER/Line shapefiles have six implied decimal places, but the positional accuracy of these coordinates is not as great as the six decimal places suggest.

Ecoregions denote areas of general similarity in ecosystems and in the type, quality, and quantity of environmental resources.

Locations of citizen properties with an extended setback from their property line and/or home.

Point layer displaying locations of Non-NPL (National Priority List) Federal Facilities (with the exception of NASA Langley which is NPL, but not currently tracked individually in EPA's NPL Superfund list).

This is a reference dataset for the Virginia Water Quality Standards for all free-flowing, freshwater streams, rivers and flowpaths within the Virginia state boundary. See section 9VAC-25-260 of the Virginia Administrative Code for specific standards descriptions.

All rivers and streams identified in the 2018 Virginia 305(b)/303(d) Water Quality Assessment. Line work and attributes should not be altered except by the developer (DEQ). This dataset constitutes the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved digital version of the assessment hydrology for Virginia. Attributes assigned to each water segment are based on attributes associated with the ID305B (assessment unit ID) entered in the statewide water quality assessment database. QA/QC checks are performed on the database prior to linking attributes to the GIS data, however errors may still occur. Please direct any questions about attribute accuracy to the Data Distributor. The geospatial product is maintained and updated by VA DEQ each assessment cycle (biennially) using the most current NHD product where revisions were made to Virginia waters, the most recent aerial photography provided by the Virginia Geographic Information Network (VGIN), and by freehand digitizing where necessary. Metadata is provided in the data Fact Sheet which contains contact information, process steps, attribute descriptions, and distribution information.
