User Instructions – To go to the Liquid Waste Environmental Geographic Information System (GIS), read the Disclaimer and Terms of Use below and click the link to the eGIS that begins "I agree...".  If you click the link that begins "I disagree..." you will return to the Liquid Waste Homepage.  Once you reach the eGIS page, allow the statewide map to load.  Click the layers tab on the upper right.  Turn on all the data layers you wish to use, and turn off those that are not needed.  You will need to click the Geology/Landover link to access those data layers.  Click the legend tab on the upper right at any time to see the identification of data layers on your map.  Use the zoom and pan buttons on the left-side vertical tool bar if needed to zoom in or out and to get to your area of interest.  Click the refresh map button as often as necessary to view your map as you develop it.  You can print the map displayed at any time by clicking the print button on the left-side vertical tool bar.  To download the map displayed, click the “unselect the tool” button (2nd from the top) on the left-side vertical tool bar.  Then right-click the map, click “save picture as” on the drop-down menu that appears, and save the image to the destination of your choice.
