Data_Set_Part:
Part_Type: An Arcview shapefile with polygon topology
Part_Name: hars.shp
Part_Description:
The boundary of the Historic Area Remediation Site (HARS), located offshore of New York and New Jersey. The sea floor of the HARS, approximately 9 square nautical miles in area, is being remediated by placing at least a one-meter cap of clean dredged material on top of the existing surface sediments that exhibit varying degrees of degradation.

Provided the boundary coordinates delineating the Historic Area Remediation Site
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The corner points were put into Arcview 3.2 and 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 <http://www.esri.com>. This was done in the case of all 6 files.
