Attribute:

Attribute_Label: ICF_ID

Attribute_Definition: unique ID

Attribute_Definition_Source: ICF Consulting, Inc.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: DB_ALIAS

Attribute_Definition: data source ID field

Attribute_Definition_Source: ICF Consulting, Inc.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: MINEHUB_MI

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: OMR_ID

Attribute_Definition: seven character field is a unique identifier for a mine record

Attribute_Definition_Source: OMR

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: FEATURE_ID

Attribute_Definition: foreign key to the FEATURE table

Attribute_Definition_Source: OMR

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: COUNTY_NAM

Attribute_Definition: Primary county in which the mine resides. If the mine is in two or more counties, this should reflect the lead agency, the majority of the mine acreage, or the main access point.

Attribute_Definition_Source: OMR

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: COMMODITY

Attribute_Definition: commodity mined from the site

Attribute_Definition_Source: OMR

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: FILE_DATE

Attribute_Definition: date the record was created

Attribute_Definition_Source: OMR

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: LAST_DATE

Attribute_Definition: date of the last visit to the mine property

Attribute_Definition_Source: OMR

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: CREW_INITI

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: GPS_PERSON

Attribute_Definition: The initials of the person who collected the GPS data. It may be left blank if locational data is not from GPS files.

Attribute_Definition_Source: OMR

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: NOTE_TAKER

Attribute_Definition: This is the person who took notes on the mine site in the field. It may be left blank when entering data from external data sources.

Attribute_Definition_Source: OMR

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: DATA_ENTER

Attribute_Definition: Who entered the record into the database. This is the user’s database login name.

Attribute_Definition_Source: OMR

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: DATA_SOURC

Attribute_Definition: This holds the acronym for the organization that originated the data. For instance, data collected by the AMLU unit from field visits get “OMR”, whereas data from the Forest Service get “USFS”.

Attribute_Definition_Source: OMR

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: DISTICT_NA        

Attribute_Definition: This is the name of the mining district, if known.

Attribute_Definition_Source: OMR

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: AML_STATUS

Attribute_Definition: The status of the mine as interpreted by AMLU staff.

Attribute_Definition_Source: OMR

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: CNTY_STATU

Attribute_Definition: The status of the mine as reported by the county.

Attribute_Definition_Source: OMR

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: GIS_ID

Attribute_Definition: This 16 character field is the link between the GIS and the mine location. It is a required field and must be unique throughout the database. It has a specific format of “LMMDDHHLYYYYLLLN”.  The first “L” is a letter corresponding to the GPS unit used to collect the spatial data. “MM” is the digit month, “DD” is the digit day of the month, “HH” is the 24hr UTC clock hour. The second “L” is a character A-Z designating a unique file for that hour. “YYYY” is the for digit year of the file. “LLLN” is the user id of the gps person.  This identifier can be looked up the amludb users table. In the instances where GPS data isn’t available for a record (i.e. Forest Service data) but a latitude and longitude is known, this field may be left blank (Null) and the field ddlat and ddlon should be populated. A new unique gis id will automatically be created under these conditions. Note that if the gis id is left blank and the ddlat and ddlon field are not populated, you will not be able to save the record.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: GIS_TYPE

Attribute_Definition: One of three types of spatial feature: “point”, “line” or “polygon”.

Attribute_Definition_Source: OMR

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: GIS_ACCURA

Attribute_Definition: The spatial accuracy of the position. There are five classes of spatial accuracy to choose from. The first, “15 ft.”, corresponds to differentially corrected GPS data. The second, “66 ft.”, corresponds to differentially corrected GPS data where an offset was involved.  The third, “328 ft.”, corresponds to uncorrected GPS data or positions derived from a topographic map. The fourth, “2700 ft.”, corresponds to positions derived from PLSS (Section, Township, Range) information. And the fifth, “Unknown”, is for those cases where no assessment can be made of the positional accuracy.
