Abstract:
COAL_AVAILABILITY_SPRINGFIELD_IN_DEPTH is a polygon shapefile giving depth (in feet) to the top of the Springfield Coal Member in Indiana. COAL_AVAILABILITY_SPRINGFIELD_IN_DEPTH was extracted from COAL_AVAILABILITY_SPRINGFIELD_IN. COAL_AVAILABILITY_SPRINGFIELD_IN identifies those resources of the Springfield Coal Member in Indiana which have favorable geologic and land use characteristics for surface and underground mining, as well as those which have unfavorable geologic and land use characteristics for surface and underground mining.
Purpose:
COAL_AVAILABILITY_SPRINGFIELD_IN_DEPTH is a polygon shapefile giving depth (in feet) to the top of the Springfield Coal Member in Indiana. COAL_AVAILABILITY_SPRINGFIELD_IN_DEPTH was extracted from COAL_AVAILABILITY_SPRINGFIELD_IN. COAL_AVAILABILITY_SPRINGFIELD_IN is a modified version of an ESRI ArcInfo polygon coverage that was created as a necessary component of a USGS-sponsored Coal Availability study to assess the resources of the Springfield Coal in Indiana, and to identify those resources that have the most favorable geologic and land use characteristics for mining. The results of this study include county-based tabular reports of the tonnage of original Springfield Coal resources in place, remaining resources after mining, resources unlikely to be mined due to geologic and land use factors, and Springfield Coal resources that are deemed "available" (i.e., favorable) for mining according to the criteria of this study.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The polygon attribute values were checked to ensure that the values were within the range that should be expected based upon the values of the input data that were used to create the polygon coverage.
Logical_Consistency_Report: ESRI ArcInfo polygon topology is present.
Completeness_Report:
The geographic extent of this coverage encompasses the extent of Springfield Coal Member in Indiana.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The minimum horizontal positional accuracy of this coverage is determined by that of the least horizontally accurate polygon coverage that was used to make this coverage. The minimum horizontal accuracy value is therefore estimated to be 200 meters.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
COAL_AVAILABILITY_SPRINGFIELD_IN_DEPTH.SHP was temporarily converted to an ESRI ArcGIS 8.3 coverage format, and ESRI ArcGIS 8.3 ArcToolbox was used to dissolve polygons using the field named "DEPTH." This converted 110,230 polygons found before dissolve, down to 895 polygons. The coverage was then converted to the shapefile COAL_AVAILABILITY_SPRINGFIELD_IN_DEPTH.SHP using ArcToolbox.
