MINES - Point Waste Features
This national dataset from Ireland's Environmental Protection Agency provides point-location data identifying seepages and discharges found at mine sites across the country. Each point represents a specific waste-related feature associated with mining activity, such as a discharge outlet or seepage location, allowing spatial identification of potential environmental pressures linked to mine waste. The dataset forms part of broader EPA mapping of mine site features and is intended to support monitoring and assessment of environmental conditions at these locations.Point locations of seepages and discharges found at mine sites.
