Abstract:

AML_POINT, the predecessor of COAL_AML_MISC_IN, is a 1:24,000-scale point-based ESRI ArcView shapefile that shows the locations of point features associated with Abandoned Mine Lands (AML) sites in the coal region of Indiana. AML_POINT includes point features from all Indiana sites listed on the federal AML site inventory by personnel of the Abandoned Mine Lands program of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Division of Reclamation. COAL_AML_MISC_IN includes point features from all Indiana sites. COAL_AML_MISC_IN includes attributes which allow the points to be differentiated based on point type (mine entrances, equipment and (or) facilities, and hazardous and (or) explosive gasses), site type, and site number.

Purpose:

COAL_AML_MISC_IN is a compilation of all point features associated with Abandoned Mine Lands (AML) sites in Indiana. AML_POINT was compiled by the Indiana Geological Survey (IGS) as part of a contract deliverable for the Abandoned Mine Lands program of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Division of Reclamation. AML_POINT was generated from data digitized from 1:24,000 -scale topographic maps. All AML data included in AML_POINT are organized in a geographic information system (GIS) using ESRI ArcInfo and ESRI ArcView software of the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) on the Windows NT and Windows 2000 platforms. AML_POINT includes attributes which allow the points to be differentiated based on site type (AML, Bond Forfeiture, or Lost Surety), site number, or site feature type (mine entrances, equipment and (or) facilities, and hazardous and (or) explosive gasses).

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

The AML site features included in COAL_AML_MISC_IN are associated with Abandoned Mine Lands (AML) sites listed on the federal AML site inventory maintained by the Abandoned Mine Lands program of the Indiana Division of Reclamation. All features from COAL_AML_MISC_IN have been identified and field- verified by AML program personnel.

Two tests for attribute consistency were performed by IGS personnel using the QueryBuilder Tool in ESRI Arcview.

(1) Completeness of values was verified.

- No values were left blank, unless appropriate. (In some instances an AML site is assigned a federal number and no state (AML) number, or vice versa.

(2) Validity of values was verified.

- All features were attributed with values in the appropriate range and format.

Logical_Consistency_Report: ESRI ArcInfo polygon topology is present.

Completeness_Report:

AML_POINT was derived from preexisting AutoCAD files digitized by personnel of the Abandoned Mine Lands program of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Division of Reclamation. Completeness of AML_POINT is dependant on the completeness of the source data files. Spot-checks of areas during the attributing process indicate that 95% of the point site features shown on the original federal AML site inventory maps are represented in AML_POINT.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

No records exist regarding the horizontal positional accuracy of this shapefile. AML_POINT was derived from preexisting AutoCAD files digitized by personnel of the Abandoned Mine Lands program of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Division of Reclamation. Horizontal positional accuracy of AML_POINT is dependant on the positional accuracy of the source data files. The source AutoCAD files were originally digitized from data shown on 1:24,000-scale topographic maps. The topographic map set, which constitutes the AML program's compilation of federally inventoried AML sites, was designed to provide a diagrammatic tool for visualizing the types of features associated with AML sites. Site features such as gob and slurry areas, shafts, pits, haulage roads, and highwalls were, in most cases, simply sketched in their approximate location within the more precisely located AML site boundaries. This means that the horizontal positional accuracy of AML_POINT is probably most significantly affected by the lack of horizontal positional accuracy associated with the source topographic maps. Because of the potential for horizontal positional error associated with AML_POINT, it is recommended that this dataset be used only as an index to point AML site features. If the detailed location of a specific AML site feature is needed, more detailed information is available from the Indiana Division of Reclamation, Abandoned Mine Lands program.

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

The vertical positional accuracy was not a factor in the creation of COAL_AML_MISC_IN. No quantitative tests were performed.

Process_Description:

AML_POINT was created at the IGS using digital CAD data provided by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Division of Reclamation Abandoned Mine Lands Program. Although the origins of the CAD data are somewhat uncertain, the general procedures are known. AML site boundaries and site features (mine entrances, equipment/facilities, hazardous/explosive gasses, etc.) were digitized using AutoCAD from 1:24,000-scale topographic maps. The CAD files were then georeferenced to UTM Zone 16, NAD27 using tics from 1:24,000-scale topographic maps.

Process_Description:

County-based AutoCAD .dwg files were converted to ESRI ArcView shapefiles using the 'convert to shapefile' function in ESRI ArcView version 3.2. The ESRI ArcView shapefile points were then attributed with several items including site number, site type, feature type, and source. The CAD files included annotation layers which listed information for most of the sites. The source Federal Abandoned Mine Lands Site Inventory Maps were consulted to obtain attributes for Points not annotated in the CAD files. After all the county shapefiles had been attributed, the ESRI ArcView Geoprocessing wizard was used to merge the county shapefiles to a single shapefile named AML_POINT.

Process_Description:

The original shapefile, AML_POINT, was first converted to a coverage named "AML_PT" using the 'SHAPEARC' command in ESRI ArcInfo. AML_PT was then reprojected from NAD27 to NAD83 in ESRI ArcInfo using the 'PROJECT' command, to create a coverage named "AML_PT_83." AML_PT_83 was clipped to a coverage named "INCLP83," which contains the area within the county boundaries of the state of Indiana, which was compiled at a scale of 1:24,000. The Geoprocessing Wizard in ESRI ArcView was used to perform the clipping operation to create the shapefile named "COAL_AML_MISC_IN."
