Title

Meeker County Aggregate Evaluation - MN/DOT Quality Data

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.
