Potential for Crushed
Stone Resources |
Granite
and other crystalline bedrock formations (e.g., gneiss, monzonite, gabbro, and
basalt) suitable for crushing. These units are inferred to be relatively
thick (greater than 100 feet), with overburden thicknesses ranging from 0 to
50 feet. Quarries located within these units are identified or known
resources. |
|
|
|
|
Limited Potential for
Crushed Stone Resources |
Bedrock geology units of
sedimentary rocks, metamorphic sedimentary rocks, schist, and shear zones
that are not suitable for crushing with varying degrees of overburden. Or Granite and other crystalline bedrock formations
(e.g., gneiss, monzonite, gabbro, and basalt) that are suitable for crushing however have overburden greater than 50 feet or
very low to moderately low probability or certainty that the bedrock unit is
suitable for crushing or that the overburden is less than 50 feet. |

|
High Potential for
Crushed Stone Resources |
Granite
and other crystalline bedrock formations exposed at the land surface or
buried by less than 15 feet of overburden.
Based on the rock types shown on existing bedrock geologic maps, these
units have a moderate to high probability of providing material suitable for
crushed stone aggregates. |
|
|
|
|
Moderate Potential for
Crushed Stone Resources |
Granite
and other crystalline bedrock buried beneath 15 to 30 feet of
overburden. Based on the rock types
shown on existing bedrock geologic maps, these units have a moderately low to
high probability of providing material suitable for crushed stone aggregates. |
|
|
|
|
Low Potential for Crushed
Stone Resources |
Granite
and other crystalline bedrock buried beneath 30 to 50 feet of
overburden. Based on the rock types
shown on existing bedrock geologic maps, these units have a low to moderately
low probability of providing material suitable for crushed stone aggregates. |

Very High, High,
Moderately High, Moderate, Moderately Low, Low, Very Low |
The relative degree of
certainty that crushed stone exists within a unit. Based on air photo interpretations, field observations, CWI,
drilling, presence of quarries, etc.
Each unit is relative to the other units and range from very high to
very low. |

Describes the Bedrock
Units most associated with the mapping units |
|
|
|
|
Granitic Rocks |
Includes rocks that have similar
chemical and physical properties as granite.
General suitable for crushed stone |
|
|
|
|
Granitic Rocks and Gneiss |
Includes rocks that have
similar chemical and physical properties as granite as well as metamorphosed granite,
known as gneiss. Generally suitable
for crushed stone. |
|
|
|
|
Granitic Rocks and Mafics |
Includes rocks that have
similar chemical and physical properties as granite. These rocks include mafic rocks like
gabbro and basalt. Can be suitable
for crushed stone but depending on the degree of fracture. |
|
|
|
|
Mafic to Ultramafic
Intrusive Rocks |
Rocks like gabbro and
basalt that intrude other rock types. Can be suitable for crushed stone but
depending on the degree of fracture. |
|
|
|
|
Schist |
A metamorphic rock that
is not suitable for crushed stone potential. |
|
|
|
|
Shear Zone |
A structural feature
containing rocks that are fractured, metamorphosed, and not suitable for
crushed stone. |
