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.

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.

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.

Logical Consistency

 

Completeness

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

Horizontal Positional Accuracy

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.

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