2020 Waste Data Interrogator

Three resources are available on this record for 2020:

- an excel data extract of wastes received at permitted sites
- and excel data extract of waste removed from permitted sites
- summary tables for England and the former planning regions (in open document spreadsheet format)

We no longer publish the Waste Data Interrogator in MS Access.

All operators of regulated waste management facilities have to provide us with details of the quantities and types of waste they deal with i.e. waste received into site and waste sent on from site to other facilities or processes. This data is used to monitor compliance but has historically been used by the EC, DEFRA and local authorities to assist in planning for new waste facilities and for monitoring against statutory targets. We have provided this data in an interrogatable format since 2006. The dataset is calendar year and holds the data from around 6,000 regulated sites. Operator waste returns are public register information unless a claim for commercial confidentiality has been accepted. In these cases the data is provided but the site details are not. This is so that the data can be included in aggregated figures but cannot be attributed to a particular site. Data supplied does not include details of waste producers

INFORMATION WARNING 
Details of operators who have claimed commercial confidentiality are not provided

Car Parking - Scotland

Most councils keep records of their car parks, bays and zones, including parking-related TROs (Traffic Regulation Orders). Therefore we have tried to compile these into consistent national layers.

Currently, we publish four layers:
- Car Parks - a polygon layer
- Car Parks - a point layer
- Parking Bays - a polygon layer
- Parking Zones - a polygon layer

Any supplied line records (usually TROs) have been buffered by 2m to create a representative area and incorporate them into the national polygon layers.

Car park data is collected for a myriad of different reasons and purposes and the attribution for each local authorities can be very different (though we've tried to include as much info as possible). For these reasons the data provided may not be up to date nor complete.

Rainfall, throughfall and stemflow for beech and ash stands in temperate English deciduous woodlands

Water quality data produced from rainfall, throughfall and stemflow samples collected within a beech stand at Black Wood in Hampshire, and an ash stand at Old Pond Close in Northamptonshire. Two studies were carried out in the early 1990s to examine water quality in relation to hydrological and pollution changes. Chemical analysis involved a combination of electrometric (pH), inductively-coupled plasma emission spectroscopy (most major, minor and trace elements), atomic absorption spectroscopy (potassium), ion chromatography (major anions and fluorine) and colourimetry (ammonium and silicon).

UK lowland river chemistry

Chemical analysis of stream, river and rainfall samples for lowland rivers in the UK. The data are uncensored and provide a basis for research purposes, and must be viewed in this light. Information on analytical methodologies is available, including detection limits, from which the user can choose how the data might be interpreted. The basins studied were the Tweed, Wear, Humber, Great Ouse and Thames. One tributary (the Teviot) and two main-stem sites were monitored in the Tweed Catchment. One site around two-thirds down the catchment of the River Wear was monitored. Humber Basin Monitoring was undertaken for all the tributaries especially near their downstream limits. The Great Ouse was monitored around half way down the catchment. The Thames catchment was monitored upstream and downstream of sewage inputs to the river, prior and post effluent stripping of phosphorus. This work formed part of a major UK initiative introduced in the early 1990s, the Land Ocean Interaction Study, LOIS, to examine water, chemical and sediment fluxes from the eastern UK rivers to the North Sea. The entire LOIS core monitoring data, including a wider range of determinands, is available from EIDC. As part of this and subsequent work, the initiative was extended to examine a range of catchment basins, from rural to agricultural and industrial/urban impacted ones.

Met Office Slocum Glider data from the MOGLI project (2022 - )

This collection of datasets comprises of hydrological data generated during Slocum Gliders campaigns, funded by the UK Met Office Gliders (MOGli) project in the North Sea, near the JONSIS line East of Orkney. The British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) manages MOGli glider data since 2022 in order to provide approximately continuous data coverage for meteorological models. Gliders collect pressure, temperature, conductivity and salinity through a CTD sensor. Each platform’s logger records water velocities, depth and engineering variables. Data were collected in near-real-time, where BODC curate the data and deliver the OG1.0 Community (NetCDF and .json) and raw binary format via ERDDAP. Near-real time, recovery (i.e. the data from the SD card when the glider is recovered) and quality controlled delayed mode versions of the data are available. The organisations contributing to the dataset are the UK Met Office and the National Oceanography Centre (NOC). The data are archived at the BODC.

The GEBCO_2026 Grid - the 2026 compilation of a continuous terrain model of the global oceans and land

The GEBCO_2026 Grid is a global continuous terrain model for ocean and land with a spatial resolution of 15 arc seconds. In regions outside of the Arctic Ocean and Southern Ocean areas, the grid uses as a base, Version 2.8 of the SRTM15+ data set between latitudes of 50 degrees South and 60 degrees North. This data set is a fusion of land topography with measured and estimated seafloor topography. Included on top of this base grid are gridded bathymetric data sets developed by the four Regional Centers of The Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project. The GEBCO_2026 Grid represents all data within the 2026 compilation. The compilation of the GEBCO_2026 Grid was carried out at the Seabed 2030 Global Center, hosted at the National Oceanography Centre, UK, with the aim of producing a seamless global terrain model. Outside of Polar regions, the gridded bathymetric data sets supplied by the Regional Centers, as sparse grids, i.e. only grid cells that contain data were populated, were included on to the base grid with blending with the aim of generating a continuous terrain surface. The data sets supplied in the form of complete grids (primarily areas north of 60N and south of 50S) were included using feather blending techniques from GlobalMapper software. The primary GEBCO_2026 Grid contains land and ice surface elevation. In addition, a version of the data set is made available with under-ice topography/bathymetry information for Greenland and Antarctica. The GEBCO_2026 Grid has been developed through the Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project. This is a collaborative project between the Nippon Foundation and the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO). It aims to bring together all available bathymetric data to produce the definitive map of the world ocean floor by 2030 and make it available to all. Funded by the Nippon Foundation, the four Seabed 2030 Regional Centers include the Southern Ocean - hosted at the Alfred Wegener Institute, Germany; Pacific Ocean - hosted at Earth Sciences New Zealand; Atlantic and Indian Oceans - hosted at the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University, USA; Arctic and North Pacific Oceans - hosted at Stockholm University, Sweden and the Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping at the University of New Hampshire, USA.

OSNI Open Data - Largescale Boundaries - Townlands (2013)

The OSNI Largescale Townlands is a polygon dataset consisting of the Townland boundaries.
Townlands are an ancient method of land measurement found only in Ireland and can be very
important in genealogical research. These small areas of land can vary in size from a few acres
upwards. The data was derived from the OSNI Largescale database in 2013 and has been topologically
cleansed and attributed to create a seamless dataset.

RCOphth NOD National Cataract Audit Year 8 data

The data is for the eighth prospective year of the National Cataract Audit corresponding to the 2023 NHS year (01/04/2023 to 31/03/2024). The data was collected as part of routine clinical care on electronic medical record systems in 199 participating centres. The three metrics used in the national cataract audit are case ascertainment and adjusted rates for posterior capsular rupture and visual acuity loss. The denominator for case ascertainment was the number of cataract operations reported to NHS digital or Digital Health and Care Wales (DHCW) performed using phacoemulsification. Operative data is more consistent than postoperative data as not all centres use the electronic medical record systems in all areas of their hospital eye service. Visual acuity estimates are only produced for centres with at least 50 eligible operations with the relevant visual acuity measurement. Comprehensive information regarding the eligibility criteria used in the National Cataract Audit can be found on the audit website (www.nodaudit.org.uk). Results are provided for contributing NHS Trusts, Welsh Health Boards, Independent Sector Treatment Centres (ISTC), two private sector providers centres and one centre from Guernsey. The results for Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust include patients from Airedale Hospital NHS Foundation Trust as cataract surgery for Airedale patients is performed in Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust sites. Results for Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust include data for patients treated in Bedford Hospital from the Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and data for patients treated in the Croydon Health Services NHS Trust. Previous National Cataract Audit years used a different time period for postoperative results, and a different methodology for calculating case complexity adjusted PCR. The changes to both of these results were first implemented in the National Cataract Audit year 8 results.

Licence Areas

Upon privatisation of the coal industry in 1994, The Coal Authority was set up to take over a
number of British Coal’s responsibilities; however these did not include the physical
extraction of coal. It is the statutory responsibility of The Coal Authority to licence and monitor the extraction
of coal by private operators. These Licence areas relate to any granted licence for the working of coal since the creation of The Coal Authority in October 1994.

In November 2024, the Coal Authority changed its name to the Mining Remediation Authority to better reflect its mission and continued commitment to environmental sustainability, safety, and community support.

Coal Mine Entry

The Coal Authority has records of over 175,000 mine entries within the UK captured in the National Coal Mining database, derived from sources including abandonment plans, geological and topographical plans.  Coal mining activity is recorded as far back as the 13th century, but prior to 1872 there was no requirement to deposit abandonment plans. It is therefore believed there may be many unrecorded mine entries of which the Authority has no information or knowledge. These entries do not, therefore, appear within the Authority's national dataset as described here.

Geological disturbances which may have been affected by coal mining

The dataset details types of geological disturbances which may have been affected by coal mining. It shows the best plot position for each geological fault, fissure and break line based on information held by the Coal Authority or supplied by its predecessors.

NOTE: Faults exist due to natural geological activities.

NOTE: Fissures & Breaklines are types of geological disturbance which are lines of weakness at the surface which may have been affected by coal mining.

Coal outcrops

The coal outcrop identifies where an underground coal seam reaches rockhead, indicating coal that may have been worked at some time in the past. Whilst this dataset highlights areas of probable underground workings at shallow depth, it may also include areas where the un-viable seams of coal remain.
