			<abstract>This web service contains the following map layer: An ESRI polygon layer which depicts the boundaries of each US county.This layer is drawn at a scale of 1:12,000,000.  It has been joined with a US EPA value-added dataset derived from the 2007 USDA Census of Agriculture.  A full metadata record for each layer may be found by clicking the layer name in the web service table of contents (available through the online link provided above) and viewing the layer description.  This USDA dataset was procured for EPA through the Office of Water (OW).</abstract>
			<purpose>The purpose of this web service is to provide a graphic representation of CAFO density per US county.</purpose>
