Abstract: This feature class/shapefile represents Petroleum Terminals. Petroleum Terminals are used to provide storage of both crude oil and refined petroleum products. Data contains locational and other attribute information for operable bulk petroleum product terminals with a total bulk shell storage capacity of 50,000 barrels or more, and/or ability to receive volumes from tanker, barge, or pipeline. Geographical coverage includes the United States, U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Guam, and Northern Marina Islands. This update includes revalidation of 658 records, the addition of 10 new records and the removal of 47 records for a total of 2,302 terminals. 8 terminals were removed because it was confirmed that they no longer exist. 22 terminals were removed because they were confirmed as duplicate records. 17 terminals were merged with adjacent terminals. Domains for the TYPE and COMMODITY fields were standardized in the layer and added to the metadata.
Purpose: This feature class/shapefile contains Petroleum Terminals for the Homeland Infrastructure Foundation-Level (HIFLD) Database (https://gii.dhs.gov/HIFLD) as well as the Energy modeling and simulation community.Data source: Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Data and details are hosted by HIFLD as received from the data provider. For questions /feedback, please email hifld@hq.dhs.gov

Process step:
Description: Reviews of public and government data were performed to identify Petroleum Terminals in the United States, U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Guam, and Northern Mariana Islands. Data validation process sources included but were not limited to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Toxics Release Inventory (TRI), the Energy Information Administration (EIA), the Right-to-Know network (www.rtknet.org), Internal Revenue Service (IRS) ExSTARS, Air Navigation (AIRNAV) and individual corporate public websites. Information from the various sources was compared against imagery to identify the physical location of each Petroleum Terminal.

Topological consistency:
Evaluation method: Data were extracted from sources (identified in the SOURCE field) and other open source websites to populate the attribute fields. For string and date data types, NOT AVAILABLE values denote missing data that was not present in the source data while NOT APPLICABLE values denote that the field does not apply for the specific case. For numeric data types, -999 denotes missing data that was not present in the source data. During quality control, attributes were checked to ensure that they fell within the expected ranges or had expected/valid values. Text attribute values were checked for spelling and usage consistency. No topology tests were conducted. All records were verified to occur within the spatial domain of the feature class/shapefile.

Completeness omission:
Measure produced by the test: Data is complete as of the most recent date indicated in the Time Period section. All efforts were taken to identify Petroleum Terminals through open sources. Additional facilities may exist. Primary sources are the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the DOE Energy Information Adminsitration (EIA).

Quantitative attribute accuracy:
Measure produced by the test: No formal attribute accuracy test was conducted. Data from the authoritative sources (as identified in other sections of this metadata) is assumed to be correct and accurate. See also "Overview Description" in the "Entities and Attributes" metadata section.

Data quality report:
Absolute external positional accuracy:
Measure produced by the test: None; all efforts are made to place the geographic representation of the facility on-entity using the best available imagery from a wide variety of sources. Users should read and understand the VAL_METHOD metadata as well as the Processing Steps.
Evaluation method: The physical accuracy of each facility is qualified in the POSREL (Positional Reliability) Field. All features were given one of six values: WITHIN 40 FEET, WITHIN 166 FEET, WITHIN 1 MILE, EXCEEDS 1 MILE, NOTIONAL, or THIRD PARTY. Definitions for Positional reliability field values can be found in the POSREL attribute information.
