SUITABILITY ANALYSIS PURPOSE• To locate possible areas that are suitable for hog lagoons in the study area (Duplin, Sampson,
and Wayne counties)
• Identify existing hog lagoons with possible negative impacts on the environment or human health
• Analysis is a weighted point scale calculation based on the area’s proximity to:
• Schools
• Hospitals
• Wells
• Surface water intake points
• Possible flood hazard
• Roads
• Public buildings
• Schools
• Hospitals
• Waters
• Wells
• Surface water intake points
• Accessibility
• Proximity to roads
PROXIMITY TO POINTS OF INTEREST
Worst of the Worst• Within 750 meters of streamsAnd•Within 3000 meters of a school, hospital, or medical facility
