Abstract | Dataset includes polygon information gathered from aerial photographs and verbal communication on areas showing indication(s) that sand and gravel resources are significantly depleted. For Carlton County and Fond du Lac Reservation delineated areas are 20 acres or larger. Indicators include reclamation of mine lands, secondary use of mine lands, and/or reclaimed extent of mine lands bounded by other land uses. Additional resources may exist at depth. Areas labeled as depleted are limited to mine lands where aggregate resources have been partially or entirely extracted and do not include development (i.e. residential or commercial) over resources that have not been mined. Information gathering was completed in the spring of 2008 through the spring of 2009. It includes 9 polygons within Carlton County and the Fond du Lac Reservation. |

Ordering Instructions | 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. |

Title | Carlton County and Fond du Lac Reservation Aggregate Resource Evaluation - Depleted Mining Lands - carldep | |||
Abstract | Dataset includes polygon information gathered from aerial photographs and verbal communication on areas showing indication(s) that sand and gravel resources are significantly depleted. For Carlton County and Fond du Lac Reservation delineated areas are 20 acres or larger. Indicators include reclamation of mine lands, secondary use of mine lands, and/or reclaimed extent of mine lands bounded by other land uses. Additional resources may exist at depth. Areas labeled as depleted are limited to mine lands where aggregate resources have been partially or entirely extracted and do not include development (i.e. residential or commercial) over resources that have not been mined. Information gathering was completed in the spring of 2008 through the spring of 2009. It includes 9 polygons within Carlton County and the Fond du Lac Reservation. |
|||
Purpose | To summarize information where sand and gravel potential was delineated; however, due to extraction, the deposit has been significantly depleted. The depletion overlay is intended to give a more accurate description of the availability of Carlton Countys or Fond du Lac Reservations supply of sand and gravel. | |||

Attribute Accuracy | ||||
Logical Consistency | ||||
Completeness | The depleted mining lands were digitized onscreen using ArcGIS 9.3 with USGS DOQs. 2008 FSA color air photos, (at a scale of 1:12000) and USGS DRGs (at a scale of 1:24000) as the spatially registered backdrops. | |||
Horizontal Positional Accuracy | 1:50000 | |||
Vertical Positional Accuracy | Not applicable. | |||
Lineage | The polygons were digitized based on information gathered from aerial photographs and verbal communication on areas showing indication(s) that sand and gravel resources are significantly depleted. For Carlton County and Fond du Lac Reservation delineated areas are 20 acres or larger. Indicators include reclamation of mine lands, secondary use of mine lands, and/or current extent of mine lands bounded by other land uses. Additional resources may exist at depth. Areas labeled as depleted are limited to mine lands where aggregate resources have been partially or entirely extracted and do not include development (i.e. residential or commercial) over resources that have not been mined. | |||
