<abstract>
Outlines of areas mined for coal in Illinois as of 1996.
This information was extracted from detailed coal mine data
stored in the ISGS Coal Section library database. Lines
delineate the approximate outer boundary of individual mines
(if known) or general mined areas.  Interior mine boundaries
such as pillars or small blocks of unmined coal are commonly
not depicted.  Outlines have been compiled from a variety of
sources.  Outlines of areas mined before 1987 are commonly
from source maps at scales of 1:62,500 or smaller.  Outlines
of areas mined since 1987 are commonly digitized at scales
ranging from 1:4800 to 1:12,000.  Mines whose extent is not
known or which only mined a few acres are not included in this
coverage.  Selected areas where there are several overlapping
mines are depicted in the companion coverage COALMINES_PY2.
Use both of these coverages together for more complete
representation of areas mined for coal.  Attributes indicate
mine identification number, mine type, mining method, and status.
Additional information is available from the Coal Section of the
Illinois State Geological Survey.
</abstract>
<purpose>
This coverage was compiled and updated between July 7 and
December 31, 1996 in order to provide a current, state-wide
coverage showing surface/underground coal mines for use with
the ISGS Coal Industry Map (1996).  Due to the wide range of
source map scales, this data is suitable for regional applications
only at the 1:100,000 scale or smaller.
</purpose>
<supplinf>
Coverages COALMINES_PY and COALMINES_PY2 replace the Coal Mine
Areas coverage that was distributed on the Illinois DNR CD-ROM
of Digital Datasets in Illinois (1996).

Revisions:
This coverage is version 2, revision 0 (2.0).  The previous revision
(1.0) was included on the 1996 Illinois DNR GIS data CD-ROM release
under the name CLMINEPY and is in the ISGS Coal Section GIS database
under the name COALMINES_PY.
&gt; Changes for this  revision:
&gt; (1) the data are updated to January 1, 1996,
&gt; (2) the items SEAM, MINETYPE, STARTYEAR, and FINALYEAR
&gt;     have been dropped, and
&gt; (3) the valid values for the ACTIVE item were changed
&gt;     to numerical format.

The data library from which this coverage was extracted was
updated with available information in 1996.  The currentness
of the update source documents is largely dependent on the
mining companies that provide the requisite documentation.

source data library.
</attraccr>

<logic>
Polygon and chain-node topology is present.  The coverage was
checked for complete chain-node topology (no dangling arcs,
except where appropriate), polygon labels (one per polygon, except
for universal polygon), boundary values appropriate for map
projection and map units, and appropriate &quot;fuzzy&quot; tolerances.
There are no known arc or polygon attribute values outside
the appropriate value domains.
</logic>
<complete>
This data set does not represent a complete collection
of the location of mine shafts, slopes, and other openings.
Lines delineate the approximate outer boundary of
individual mines (if known) or general mined areas.
Interior mine boundaries such as pillars or small blocks
of unmined coal are commonly not depicted.  Mines whose
extent is not known or which only mined a few acres are
not included in this coverage.  Areas where there are
several overlapping mines are depicted in the companion
coverage COALMINES_PY2.  Use both of these coverages
together for more complete representation of areas mined
for coal.  Not all the attribute data available for these
coal mine locations are included in this coverage.  For more
detailed information contact the Coal Section of the Illinois
State Geological Survey.

<posacc>
<horizpa>
<horizpar>
Horizontal positional accuracy is verified by visual
comparison of source and hard copy plots.  The source
materials used are commonly paper copies (ozalid or
hand traces) or microfilm prints of original mine maps
supplied by mining companies or other parties.  ISGS
staff have not verified the accuracy or validity of the
original source material.  Some original maps are not
drawn on a cartographic base.  Due to the physical and
cartographic quality of the source materials used,
horizontal positions may be in error by 500 feet or more.
For applications requiring precise horizontal accuracy,
the original source maps should be consulted.

These data are stored in county by county tiles in the ISGS
Coal Section GIS database.  To prepare this statewide map, coal
mine outlines from all county tiles containing this theme were
joined.  Due to differing .pat item structures in the various
county tiles of the coal mine library, a multi-step MAPJOIN
operation was performed as follows:

The following coal library coverages were MAPJOINed
to create an interim coverage called C2:

Attribute items are in typical ARC/INFO feature class format.
Polygon attributes requiring further explanation are:

&gt; M-INDEX(n) - Unique ISGS identification number assigned
&gt; to each mine.  A polygon can represent up to three mines because
&gt; of overlapping mines in different seams or surface mining through
&gt; shallow underground mines, or due to changing mine ownership and/or
&gt; permit status over time.
&gt;
&gt; PIT(n)     - Pit number.  This is used to distinguish between
