Examples include but are not limited to, beaches, playgrounds, recreational facilities, camping grounds, outdoor theaters, stadiums, recreational areas near bodies of water, or areas outside a rural a building such as a religious facility.

2.		Religious facilities, office buildings, community centers, general stores, 4-H facilities, or roller skating rinks or other buildings of the like, that are occupied by 20 or more people on at least five (5) days a week for 10 weeks in a 12-month period (the days and weeks need not be consecutive); OR

3.		Prisons, schools, day-care facilities, retirement facilities, assisted-living facilities, or other facilities occupied by persons who are confined, are of impaired mobility, or who would be difficult to evacuate.

If you believe your facility or location should be considered an identified site, or if you know of any other facilities or locations that should be considered an identified site, please fill in the Feedback Form.

Your assistance will help Northern better ensure it is making its system safe for the public, its employees and the environment. Thank you for your help.
