### Metadata Summary

Originator | Minnesota Department of Transportation & MN Department of Natural Resources, Division of Lands and Minerals, Mineral Potential Section, Aggregate Resource Mapping Program
Abstract | This dataset consists of information about the quality of Minnesota Department of Transportation's 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.
Browse Graphic | None available
Time Period of Content Date | 2004
Currentness Reference | The pit sheets are from 1936-1996, with these values compiled in 2004.

Ordering Instructions | The Aggregate Resource Mapping Program's datasets for Mille Lacs County are included in the file milldata.zip, accessible from the MN DNR Aggregate Mapping web page: http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/lands_minerals/aggregatemaps.html The dataset is also available as aggregate resource data layers stored at drive:\data\resource on the CD (where 'drive' is the CD reader or writer drive on the PC). The datasets include data on sand and gravel potential, crushed stone potential, overburden model source points, field observations, aggregate pits and quarries, County Well Index (CWI) data sources, field observation's sieve database, and MN DOT ASIS (Aggregate Source Information System) pit quality database. In addition, selected Mille Lacs aggregate resource datasets can 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 with little to no GIS experience the ability to work with GIS data. The site can display spatial and tabular aggregate resource data such as sand and gravel potential, crushed stone potential, field observations, and gravel pits. This information can be overlaid on a variety of reference information from Web Mapping Services (WMS) sources like 1:24,000-scale DRGs (digital topographic maps), 1991 black-and-white air photos, and 2003-04 Farm Service Agency color air photos.

Title | Mille Lacs County Aggregate Evaluation - MN/DOT ASIS Quality Database, 2004 - milldotqual
Abstract | This dataset consists of information about the quality of Minnesota Department of Transportation's 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. The data can be joined to millpits.shp using the 'ASIS_NUMBR' field.
Time Period of Content Date | 2004
Currentness Reference | The pit sheets are from 1936-1996, with these values compiled in 2004.

Section 2 | Data Quality Information | Top of full metadata | Top of page
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.

Completeness | All available data were summarized and are incorporated within this table.

Lineage | 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.

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 millpits shapefile, by relating on the sourcexx or field in the milldotqual.dbf file and the asis_numbr field in millpits shapefile.
