Abstract |
This dataset consists of
information about the quality of Minnesota Department of Transportation
gravel pits and aggregate sources. Quality information includes soundness,
durability, and mineral content. This table contains the averages and ranges
of values for the different quality tests and was summarized from the MN/DOT
pit sheets. |

Abstract |
This dataset consists of
information about the quality of Minnesota Department of Transportation
gravel pits and aggregate sources. Quality information includes soundness,
durability, and mineral content. This table contains the averages and ranges
of values for the different quality tests and was summarized from the MN/DOT
pit sheets. |
||
Purpose |
This table summarizes the
quality data that is presented on the MN/DOT pit sheets. MN/DOT has
specifications that the aggregate must meet to be used for specific jobs.
This table summarizes the quality data by averaging the values of the pit and
giving the range of values. |

Data Quality Information |
||
Attribute Accuracy |
The ranges of values were
taken directly from the MN/DOT pit sheets. These numbers were also averaged
to represent the entire pit. However, a pit may meet specifications on one
end and not the other, or the top 10 feet may meet specifications and the
bottom layers do not. Thus, care must be taken when interpreting this information.
For further detail, refer to the pit sheets from MN/DOT. |

Entity and Attribute Overview |
The ranges of values were
taken directly from the MN/DOT pit sheets. These numbers were also averaged
to represent the entire pit. However, a pit may meet specifications on one
end and not the other, or the top 10 feet may meet specifications and the bottom
layers do not. Thus, care must be taken when interpreting this information.
For further detail, refer to the pit sheets from MN/DOT. These data can be
related to their locations, stored in the meekgpits shapefile, by relating on
the sourcexx field in the dotqual.dbf file and the asis_numbr field in
meekgpits shapefile. |
