Title: Digital Inventory of Flood-Plain Mines in Washington State (Washington Division of Geology and Earth Resources Digital Report 3)


Publication date: 2003
Edition: version 1
Geospatial data presentation form: vector digital data


Description:
Abstract:
This ArcView shapefile shows the locations, as polygons, of all identified flood-plain sand and gravel mine sites with active, terminated, and no-permit status across Washington State.  The Washington State Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geology and Earth Resources administers the Surface Mine Reclamation Act (RCW 78.440, a reclamation law that requires a permit for each mine that: (1) results in more than 3 acres of surface disturbance, or (2) has a high wall that is both higher than 30 feet and steeper than 45° (Chapter 78.44 Revised Code of Washington [RCW]; Chapter 332-18 Washington Administrative Code [WAC]).

Purpose:
Geographic representations of identified flood-plain sand and gravel mine sites within Washington State by individually digitized polygons.

Data Quality Information:


Positional accuracy:
Horizontal positional accuracy:
Horizontal positional accuracy report:
These polygons were digitized "free hand" utilizing 1:12,000-scale digital orthophotos and 1:24,000-scale digital topographic maps (Digital Raster Graphics) from the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) corporate database.  The digital orthophotos have an 8-foot pixel resolution and a horizontal accuracy of ±20 feet.  The spatial location of surface mine locations was further augmented by utilizing information from the DNR Asset Performance System (APS) and in DNR surface mine permit files.
