The data was collected using a Trimble Pathfinder Professional or Pro XL receiver. A datalogger with Asset Surveyor was used to collect attribute information. Pathfinder Office was used to differentially correct the data and export to Arcview shapefiles. The data was exported in UTM with NAD 27 projection. Trimble's ellipsoid model was used for calculating elevations. Trimble corrected files are available on request for authorized agencies. Trimble prescribed methods were used in collection. Purpose: The purpose of the data set is to allow for conflict identification between potential abandoned mine hazards and other resources. It is also intended to aid the Abandoned Mine Reclamation Program, Division of Oil, Gas and Mining, State of Utah, for eventual reclamation/remediation.

USGS_QUAD
Field Description: Enter the latitude, longitude, index number and map scale from the United States Geological Survey's (USGS) reference code. This entry is 10 characters in length. The reference code may be found in the lower right hand corner of a topographic map just beneath the quadrangle name. The first five spaces of the reference code are numeric and are composed of the latitude and longitude of the map. (The latitude and longitude for the quadrangle is derived from the latitude and longitude of the southeast corner of the quadrangle.) The next two spaces are the USGS index number for the quadrangle. This is an alphanumeric. The last three numbers are the USGS map scale code. If there is not a map reference code on the topographic map one can be generated.
USGS quadrangle maps are referenced by an index number within a 1° of latitude by 1° of longitude "block" of quadrangles. A 1°x1° block is referenced by the latitude and longitude coordinates of its southeast (bottom right) corner. Individual quadrangle maps are indexed within a 1°x1° block by letters (e.g., A to H) representing rows bottom to top from the southeast corner of the block, and by numbers (e.g., 1 to 8) representing columns right to left from the southeast corner of the block. The number of rows and columns in a block will depend on the scale of the quadrangle maps (e.g., at the 1:24,000 scale, there are 8 rows and 8 columns in a 1°x1° block; a total of 64 maps per block). Finally, the USGS map reference code includes a code representing the scale of the map. For example, the 7.5 minute (1:24,000 scale) quadrangle map "38111H1024" is located within the 1°x1° block with origin at 38° latitude and 111°longitude, in row "H", column "1", and is a 1:24,000 scale map. Most often used scales will be "024" (7.5 minute maps, or 1:24,000 scale ) and "062" (15 minute maps or 1:62,500 scale). For map scale codes and a graphic representation of the USGS map referencing system, see "USGS Quadrangle Index Reference" (Attachment 4) or refer to the "Catalog of Topographic and Other Published Maps" for each state, published by the USGS National Mapping Program.

NO_OP_DH
Field Description: Enter the number of open drill holes found within the mine site. A drill hole is a circular hole made by drilling. There are many drilling methods. Three common methods are percussion, rotary, and diamond drill. The equipment may range in size and complexity from simple, hand-operated augers to small-scale versions of the rigs similar to those used in the oil field. Therefore, hole dimension and depth vary greatly. Note location(s) of all open drill holes on the sketch map using the appropriate symbol from page 6 of the Checklist. The diameter of the hole (inches), total depth of the hole (feet), and whether the hole is dry or wet at the bottom is noted on the site map. If AML_POINT data dictionary is used to note the location of the open drill hole, then the description field is filled out with the hole depth, diameter and presence of water. Use a semicolon to separate these entries. Do not use commas.
Total depth of a drill hole is calculated by the following formula:
D = 2gt2 D = distance travelled, g = 32 feet/sec2 and t = time.
The time is calculated by dropping a rock down the hole and counting the seconds it takes to hit the bottom of the hole. This method is also used to determine whether the hole is wet or dry at the bottom.
