The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality developed the digital Animal Operation Permits data to define the location of animal operation permits throughout the state.
This data was created to assist governmental agencies and others in making resource management decisions through use of a Geographic Information System (GIS).
Spatial data accuracy varies greatly in this data layer due to the inaccuracy of some latitude/longitude coordinates used for compilation. system filename : anops03 approx. file size = 0.91 mb >Revisions and updates to this layer include: >1.) filename: anops03 The 12/04/03 version was the first verion >of this data.

Animal Operation Permits were generated from an Excel spreadsheet. The resulting point locations were not verified or checked for accuracy. This digital file is updated as changes occur.
Using ESRI's ARC/INFO GIS software, the data set was built for points using the "build" command. Topology has not been edited since the last build or clean.
These data represent the locations of Animal Operation Permits in North Carolina as mapped by the NC DENR Div. of Water Quality, Non-Discharge Compliance/Enforcement Section Office.
The Animal Operation Permits were not verified or checked for accuracy.
