This figure illustrates how a number of physical and cultural 
site screening criteria were evaluated simultaneously by the 
Department of Energy and Natural Resources’ Geographic Infor- 
mation System in order to locate areas of suitabilty for a 
new regional landfill in Lake County. Siting Criteria were 
selected by the Lake County Joint Action Solid Waste Planning 
Agencys and fall into four categories: 1) Natural Features, 
2) Cultural Features, 3) Development, and 4) Highway Proximity- 
In some cases. buffers were constructed around features. The 
shaded areas in the Composite Map represent areas of potential 
suitability. None of the features mapped on the left fall 
within the shaded region of the composite.
