### Metadata Summary

Originator | Minnesota Department of Transportation, Aggregate Unit
Abstract | The Office of Materials developed the Aggregate Source Information System (ASIS) in 1985. It is a database used to store and retrieve information on gravel pits, rock quarries and commercial aggregate sources. It is used primarily by the Aggregate Unit at the Maplewood Lab and District Materials personnel as a data resource for recommending aggregate sources for construction projects. The Aggregate Unit manages this database. This database is dynamic and for updates visit the Mn/DOT Aggregate home page at http://www.dot.state.mn.us/materials/aggsource.html

Ordering Instructions | To download updated ASIS data go to the Mn/DOT Aggregates home page at http://www.dot.state.mn.us/materials/aggsource.html The Aggregate Resource Mapping Program's spatial datasets for Carlton County and the Fond du Lac Reservation are included in the file carlton_aggregate_data.zip, accessible from the MN DNR Aggregate Mapping web page: http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/lands_minerals/aggregate_maps/completed/index.html The spatial datasets are also available as shapefiles and a file geodatabase stored at drive:\data\resource on the associated CD (where 'drive' is the CD reader or writer drive on the PC). The spatial datasets include: sand and gravel potential, crushed stone potential, field observations, mining pits, depleted mining lands, Minnesota Geological Survey (MGS) County Well Index (CWI) data points, sieve analysis table of selected field observations, MGS CWI stratigraphy table, and Mn/DOT ASIS pit quality table. Selected aggregate resource datasets from this project can also be viewed in the Aggregate Resource Mapping Program's Aggregate Mapper at: http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/lands_minerals/aggregate_maps/online_maps/index.html Aggregate Mapper allows users the ability to work with the aggregate resource data without having to download additional software. The site can display spatial and tabular aggregate resource data such as sand and gravel potential, crushed stone potential, field observations, mining pits, and depleted mining lands. This information can be overlaid on a variety of base map information from Web Mapping Services (WMS) sources like; 1:24,000-scale DRGs (digital topographic maps), 1991 black-and-white air photos, and 2008 Farm Service Agency color air photos.

Associated Data Sets | The carlasis0108 shapefile can be joined to table 'carldotqual' field named 'asis_numbr' using the 'Asis_numbr' field or the 'Sourcenum' field as the primary key in the above mentioned shapefiles. The Aggregate Resource Mapping Program's spatial datasets for Carlton County and the Fond du Lac Reservation are included in the file carlton_aggregate_data.zip, accessible from the MN DNR Aggregate Mapping web page: http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/lands_minerals/aggregate_maps/completed/index.html The spatial datasets are also available as shapefiles and a file geodatabase stored at drive:\data\resource on the associated CD (where 'drive' is the CD reader or writer drive on the PC). The spatial datasets include: sand and gravel potential, crushed stone potential, field observations, mining pits, depleted mining lands, Minnesota Geological Survey (MGS) County Well Index (CWI) data points, sieve analysis table of selected field observations, MGS CWI stratigraphy table, and Mn/DOT ASIS pit quality table. Selected aggregate resource datasets from this project can also be viewed in the Aggregate Resource Mapping Program's Aggregate Mapper at: http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/lands_minerals/aggregate_maps/online_maps/index.html Aggregate Mapper allows users the ability to work with the aggregate resource data without having to download additional software. The site can display spatial and tabular aggregate resource data such as sand and gravel potential, crushed stone potential, field observations, mining pits, and depleted mining lands. This information can be overlaid on a variety of base map information from Web Mapping Services (WMS) sources like; 1:24,000-scale DRGs (digital topographic maps), 1991 black-and-white air photos, and 2008 Farm Service Agency color air photos.
