Description:

Abstract: This ESRI Geographic Information System (GIS) point shapefile with associated database file and metadata contains point locations, products mined, geologic formation and other attributes of selected sand, gravel and rock surficial mining operations in New Jersey. The database contains 1,031 inventoried operations with 172 being registered with the New Jersey Department of Labor, Office of Mine Safety and Compliance. Some have multiple permits so there are a total of 167 operational sites and 864 inactive and abandoned surficial mining operations. One hundred ninety three of the mining operations were located using the Global Positioning System (GPS). With annual production of up to 20 million tons valued at $100 million, sand, gravel and rock mining is a significant industry in New Jersey. Inactive and abandoned operations are included because of their importance in environmental investigations, planning, zoning and resource evaluation. Also included is an Adobe PDF file "Active Sand & Gravel Mines.pdf" containing specific information pertaining to the 2006-2007 active and registered sand, gravel and rock surficial mining operations in New Jersey according to the New Jersey Department of Labor, Office of Mine Safety and Compliance.  The ESRI shapefile, metadata and PDF files are compressed as a zip file for download.

Purpose: To provide an inventory of selected sand, gravel and rock mining operations in New Jersey and also to determine alternative water resources for possible use during times of drought.

Supplemental Information: Notes: Under New Jersey state law all active mining operations must be registered with New Jersey Department of Labor, Office of Mine Safety & Compliance (Mine Safety Act N.J.S.A. 34:-98.1 et seq.).

Source Contribution: Geological Survey Report GSR 25, Inventory Of Active and Abandoned Sand And Gravel Mining Operations in New Jersey. Bell, Christy Simmons, Raymond and Berhoozi, Cyrus. 1991 New Jersey Department of Labor, Office of Mine Safety & Compliance list of registered mining operations in New Jersey for 2004. New Jersey Department of Labor, Office of Mine Safety & Compliance list of registered mining operations in New Jersey for 2006.

Process Step:

Process Description:

Geological Survey Report GSR 25 "Inventory of Active and Abandoned Sand and Gravel Mining Operations in New Jersey" 1991 and the New Jersey Department of Labor, Office of Mine Safety & Compliance list of mine registrations for 2006 were used as the basis for this digital product. The process began by developing a Microsoft Access database and importing the information from GSR 25 and the New Jersey Department of Labor, Office of Mine Safety & Compliance report on all registered mining operations in New Jersey into the database. Additional information on the surface mining operations was gathered by mailing a questionnaire to the active mining operations. The locations from GSR 25 were checked using aerial photography. The locations for the majority of the registered mining operations were collected with the global positioning system. If the mining operation could not be found with a site visit it was verified using aerial photography. The GPS locations collected were obtained at the front entrance of the mining operations and in some instances the weigh scales. A dBASE table was exported from the Microsoft Access database. The dBASE table was then imported into ArcMap v. 8.3 and converted to a shapefile. For this shapefile update dated 20061212, new quarry sites were added to the shapefile based on the New Jersey Department of Labor, Office of Mine Safety & Compliance list of mine registrations for 2006-2007.
