			<abstract>This downloadable data package contains the following map layer: An ESRI polygon layer which depicts the boundaries of each US county. It has been joined with a US EPA value-added dataset derived from the 2007 USDA Census of Agriculture.  This USDA dataset was procured for EPA through the Office of Water (OW).  Included in this package are a shapefile (v. 10.0), Esri ArcMap map document (v. 10.0) and XML files for this record and the layer level metadata.</abstract>
			<purpose>The purpose of this downloadable data package is to make US county-level CAFO data available to the public and other interested parties.</purpose>
