29、itory4. Significance and Use4.1 This practice addresses underground coal mining extentgeospatial data relative to the Surface Mining Control andReclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). This practice is signifi-cant to the coal mining community because it provides foruniformity of geospatial data pertaining

30、to underground coalmine extents for mines located throughout the United States.These standards will help ensure uniformity of data contributedby each RA and assist organizations in future efforts to createand utilize geospatial data relative to underground coal miningextents in the United States. Th

31、e first standard developed isPractice D 7384, Practice for Minimum Geospatial Data for aCoal Surface Mining Permit Boundary.4.2 Underground mine geospatial data shall be obtainedfrom State and Federal regulatory authorities for undergroundmining extents. The coal mining community encompasses allenti

32、ties directly and indirectly affected by coal mining activi-ties, including industry, environmental groups and the govern-ment at all levels within the United States. Use of this standardwill help create consistent maps and increase awareness ofunderground mining extents throughout the United States

33、. Thisstandard creates well organized and easily accessible under-ground coal mining extents data, and it will lead to bettercommunication between the RAs and federal offices, thepublic, industry and environmental groups.4.3 As used in this practice, the geospatial data represents anarea where coal

34、removal occurred within a defined UCMO. Anunderground mine extent is defined as a polygon or polygons.A lack of data from any RA will create a gap in the nationalunderground mining extents geospatial data set. This nationalcoal mining data set consists of underground coal miningD7443082extents data

35、from each RA, which will show the locations ofunderground coal mines throughout the United States. Cur-rently, each coal producing state organizes their data in adifferent method, and their own naming conventions andterminology. By establishing national geospatial data stan-dards, guidance is provid

36、ed to RA coal mining programs thatdo not have any geospatial data standards of their own. Thispractice creates an easier and more efficient way to utilize andshare underground mining extent geospatial data between RAsand the coal mining community.4.4 If there is a lack of uniform practices among RAs

37、,certain attributes of the underground coal mining extents datamay not be present in some RAss geospatial data. If this is thecase, the finished data set for underground coal mining extentswill appear to be incomplete for certain states, but in reality,some underground coal mining extents geospatial

38、 data will notbe collected for those states, since it may not be applicable tothem.4.5 This standard conforms to the definition of a DataContent Standard as promulgated by the U.S. Federal Geo-graphic Data Committee (FGDC). Terminology and definitionsfor identifying geographical features and describ

39、ing the datamodel have been adopted from the FGDC Spatial DataTransfer Standard.4.6 Although this standard is written specifically for theunderground coal mining industry, its general purpose andcontent may be applicable to other underground mining ex-tents.5. Procedure5.1 IntroductionThe list of un

40、derground coal mining ex-tents individual location characteristics (also known as at-tributes) represent the minimum data elements necessary todevelop and maintain a nationwide geospatial data set depict-ing underground coal mining extents. The data set may serve asa layer in The National Map, an on

41、line, interactive map servicesponsored by a consortium of US Federal, State, and localpartners and hosted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).The National Map provides a consistent framework for high-quality, geospatial data and information from multiple partnersto enhance Americas ability to acces

42、s, integrate, and applycurrent, accurate, and nationally consistent digital data atglobal, national, and local scales.5.2 Coordinates and Related DataCoordinates and re-lated geospatial data allow underground coal mining extents tobe accurately positioned on the earths surface in a variety ofrecogni

43、zed datums, grid systems, and geographic projections.The underground coal mining extents are compiled fromvarious SMCRA state and tribal data resources that utilizedifferent datums and coordinate and projection systems. Alldata will have identified datums and coordinate and projectionsystems with as

44、sociated precision or accuracy (or both) valuesand will be re-projected to match the spatial reference param-eters utilized in The National Map. The NorthAmerican Datumof 1983 (NAD 83) should be used as the datum. ANSI INCITS61-1986 (R2002) contains additional guidance on representa-tion of coordina

45、tes.5.3 OSM will coordinate with the National Map DataSteward (NMDS) to make available a service containing accessto a national data set of underground coal mining extents. Thisnational data set will have the minimum attributes specified inTable 1. Extraneous attributes or fields will be removed. Th

46、eNMDS will perform a format check to determine if thesubmittal meets the standard. The NMDS also will conduct atechnical review of the data to assess the accuracy andcharacteristics of the data files.UndergroundCoal MiningExtent AttributeDefinition Example Data Type Domain CommentState/TribeMine IDU
