- 107 CERCLA site polygons on National Forest System land recorded in Forest Service land status records: Region 2 (Rocky Mountain) 63, Region 8 (Southern) 23, Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) 18, Region 9 (Eastern) 2 and Region 5 (California) 1. There are none for Regions 1, 3, 4 or 10. The layer lists only sites where cleanup is complete with source control on site, or cleanup has not reached unrestricted use. It is not a full inventory of contaminated sites or mine cleanups on federal land.

Each polygon records one CERCLA case on Forest Service land, either an engineered waste repository or an area with use limits, with case name, action and expiration dates, boundary status and acres. EPA's Superfund NPL site boundaries are separate and broader in scope.
This dataset is intended for read-only use. The purpose of these data is to provide a record of Forest Service CERCLA sites, where restricted uses or engineered waste repositories are located. These data can also be used for display, identification, and analysis by Forest Service managers, GIS specialists, and others.
