Description:

Abstract:

This data set includes the boundaries of the Cellar Dirt Disposal site, located offshore of New York and New Jersey.

Purpose:

The purpose of this project is to map the surficial geology of the sea floor of Historic Area Remediation Site (HARS) and changes in surficial characteristics over time. This GIS project presents multibeam and other data in a digital format for analysis and display by scientists, policy makers, managers and the general public.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

A shape file containing the corner points was generated in Arcview 3.2. Using the connect the dots extension, a non-self-intersecting polygon was generated and saved to a new shapefile. This extension is a user developed script and can be downloaded from the ESRI website at <<URL: https://www.esri.com>
