Trash day boundaries in the supercan trash collection area of Washington DC. The day boundaries are the areas where trash and recycling collection takes place on a particular day. There are several routes within each day boundary. Each crew is assigned to collect either trash or recycling in one route per day. Supercan trash collection refers to the type of trash container used by the residents for setting out trash. Supercans are 96 gallon containers that are distributed by the City to citizens in residential (less urban and therefore less dense) neighborhoods that form the outer ring portion of the City. The routes within these day boundaries are collected once per week. Recycling containers are blue 35 gallon containers that are distributed to citizens in these same areas.

This app displays a series of general information for an address, location, or where the user clicks in DC.Some information returned are:-Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) area-Combined Sewer System (CSS) area-Watershed, Subwatershed, HUC12, HUC14, HUC16-Ward, ANC, SMD, and the address of the location-Census Tract and zip codeFor addresses along the borders of watersheds and sewer areas, further investigation should be taken. For hydrologic calculations and determinations, the USGS Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) should be referenced.DC Water operates a "separate" (MS4) and "combined" (CSS) sewers. Since the early 1900's, sewers constructed within the District have been separate systems and no new combined sewer systems have been built. These two independent piping systems: CSS mixes "sanitary" (sewage from homes and businesses) with stormwater while the MS4 is for "stormwater" only. In the District, approximately two thirds of the District is served by the MS4. The remaining one-third is served by the CSS. Areas highlighted in blue are MS4, in orange are CSS, and in green are direct drain areas that drain directly to streams and rivers. The MS4 system discharges into portions of the Potomac, Anacostia and Rock Creek drainage areas. The CSS drains to Blue Plains Advance Wastewater Treatment Facility.Visit DOEE - Water in the District Page or DOEE Environmental Mapping.For the USGS Hydrologic and Watershed Boundary Data for DC, visit this Link.Created with the Information Lookup Template from ESRIhttps://dcgis.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=54da82ed8d264bbbb7f9087df8c947c3

Recycling day boundaries in the conventional trash collection area of Washington DC. The day boundaries are the areas where recycling collection takes place on a particular day. There are several routes within each day boundary. Each crew is assigned to collect recycling in one route per day. Whereas trash is collected in the conventional area twice per week, recycling is collected once per week. Blue 35 gallon recycling containers are distributed to citizens in the conventional area as they are in the supercan area, but in the densest areas some residents receive recyling bins that are easier to store and manuver in areas where on-street parking is tight.

Stable water isotope data for the ice core drilled at the Allan Hills Blue ice area have been generated under a collaborative effort by the University of Maine Climate Change Institute (NSF Award#1443306) and Princeton University (NSF Award# 1443263). This data set contains stable isotope data (dD, d18O) of meltwater samples collected from the ice core AH-1502 (76.73286 S, 159.35507 E) was drilled in 2015-16 field season to 197 meters below the surface.

This dataset was created to support the Washington D.C. StreamStats project funded by the Washington D.C. Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE). The dataset contains digital elevation model (DEM), flow direction and catchment layers that were conditioned using Washingtons D.C.’s stormwater network layer. The data are hosted online as a component of the USGS StreamStats web application (https://streamstats.usgs.gov), where users can interact with a map of Washington D.C.’s stormwater pipe system and National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) “best resolution” blue lines to delineate drainage basins that account for pipe flow. This project utilized 1-meter (high resolution) terrain products, which improves upon existing 10 meter resolution data products traditionally used in StreamStats. Following work completed for Boston’s Mystic River Basin, Washington, D.C. is the second jurisdiction to incorporate storm-drain-network data into StreamStats. The pipe-network-informed hydro-geomorphologically correct urban hydrography layers were developed by incorporating 1-meter resolution lidar-derived elevation data and D.C.’s stormwater pipe data to approximate topography and stormwater flow. Users may access the “Washington, D.C. Stormwater” fixture on the StreamStats application to delineate drainage basins that approximate effective basin area in storm drain serviced areas. The contents of this data release include the following GeoTiffs: •demaoi.tif: 1-meter LiDAR derived digital elevation model for Washington D.C. and its tributaries (6 HUC-12 watersheds: NW Branch Anacostia, Lower Rock Creek, Nichols Run Potomac River, Lower Anacostia River, Pimmit Run- Potomac River, and Fourmile Run- Potomac River.) •Fdr.tif: 1-meter pipe-network-informed flow direction raster for Washington D.C. and its tributaries (excluding the Potomac River mainstem). Flow direction was informed by D.C.’s stormwater pipe network, and stormwater inlets are represented as sinks. •Cat.tif: 1-meter flow accumulation layer for Washington D.C. and its tributaries (excluding the Potomac river mainstem). This layer was created using pipe-network-informed flow direction layer. The catchment raster represents subcatchments within the study area draining to either sinks (stormwater inlets) or surface drainage lines (overland connectors or streams). The processing steps implemented to produce the raster layers contained in this dataset follow methods previously described by Spaetzel and others, 2022, are described in the associated metadata. Please note that the stormwater network coverage used to produce this data is protected and will not be made publicly available.
