Data relating to project specific sites of investigation into fluid processes in landfills and mine sites.

Information from the Scottish quarries database has now been incorporated into the BritPits (British Pits) database Contains the site and rock type information of working and disused hard rock quarries in Scotland, covering all mainland Scotland and major Scottish islands. Database was initiated in the spring of 1997. Various stages of completeness in the dataset according to information received, quarries not documented will not be recorded. Quarry site data is given as point data (centre 2D XY data), at the point there is a quarry, areal extent is not recorded.

Records of some 3500 waste sites in England and Wales identified by BGS as part of a survey carried out on behalf of the Department of the Environment in 1973. Information is included on the extent of the site, geology, wastes and risks to aquifers It should be noted that the assessments were carried out when the data was collected and may not reflect current interpretation. There are not records for all of the sites listed.

Oracle index to records of some 3500 waste sites in England and Wales identified by BGS as part of a survey carried out on behalf of the Departement of the Environment in 1973. The index has been corrected and updated to a limited extent, but the data itself has not been changed. The data was collected in 1972 and the information reflects the knowledge at that time. It does not reflect current interpretation. Not all authorities made returns and there are not records for all of the sites listed. However, the data is an invaluable source of information about pre-1974 sites. Information includes site name, location and risks to aquifers. It should be noted that the assessments were carried out when the data was collected and may not reflect current interpretation.
