Steps to reproduce
The data were collected from Annual Operational Reports or Leachate Generation Reports (PDF documents) from Ohio EPA's eDocument system (http://edocpub.epa.ohio.gov/publicportal/edochome.aspx). The PDF documents were downloaded based on queries of the eDoc system using the landfill's name or Ohio Secondary ID (MSWLxxxxxx). Data were transcribed manually. More than 5% of entries were verified by someone other than the person who entered the data. Data verification occurred by visually examining the original document compared to the database entry.
