Data Compiled on historical water use, spatial land disturbance, aquifer disturbance and uranium produced by In Situ Recovery of Uranium from Sandstone Hosted Uranium Deposits in the South Texas Coastal Plain, USA
공공데이터포털
This data release contains data on historical water use, spatial land disturbance, and spatial aquifer disturbances related to in situ recovery (ISR) uranium extraction per unit of uranium produced. These data were compiled from published and publicly available references including journal articles, government reports, industry reports and company reporting documents for regulatory compliance and financial reporting requirements. Six uranium ISR mines are represented: Alta Mesa, Kingsville Dome, Mt. Lucas, Palangana, Palangana Dome, and Rosita.
Mine areas and feature data associated with using lidar and earth observation temporal analysis to explore and characterize uranium mining on the south Texas landscape
공공데이터포털
Open pit uranium mining in Atascosa, Karnes, and Live Oak Counties in the Texas gulf coast region was active during the second half of the 20th century. Understanding the history of these mining operations is important for proper management and restoration. Although some mines have extensive records documenting the locations and extents of mining pits and mine waste-rock piles, and provide descriptions of reclamation activities, abandoned mines with little to no such documentation are present on the landscape. A multiple lines of evidence approach using lidar derivatives and multispectral remote sensing temporal analysis (Stengel, 2022) was developed to (1) identify uranium mine waste-rock, wastewater, and land disturbance due to mining, to (2) differentiate between abandoned and reclaimed mine features, and to (3) help understand the life cycle of mining activities on the Texas landscape. This data release provides the 2013 and 2018 lidar data used to derive derivative terrain parameters described in the associated paper, as well as mine surface areas and features identified from our analysis.
Aerial Radiological Survey of Abandoned Uranium Mines (AUM) Map Service, Navajo Nation, 1994-1999, US EPA Region 9
공공데이터포털
This map service contains data from aerial radiological surveys of 41 potential uranium mining areas (1,144 square miles) within the Navajo Nation that were conducted during the period from October 1994 through October 1999. The US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Region 9 funded the surveys and the US Department of Energy (USDOE) Remote Sensing Laboratory (RSL) in Las Vegas, Nevada conducted the aerial surveys. The aerial survey data were used to characterize the overall radioactivity and excess Bismuth 214 levels within the surveyed areas. This US EPA Region 9 web service contains the following map layers: Total Terrestrial Gamma Activity Polygons, Total Terrestrial Gamma Activity Contours, Excess Bismuth 214 Contours, Excess Bismuth 214 Polygons, Flight Areas Full FGDC metadata records for each layer can be found by clicking the layer name at the web service endpoint and viewing the layer description. Security Classification: Public. Access Constraints: None. Use Constraints: None. Please check sources, scale, accuracy, currentness and other available information. Please confirm that you are using the most recent copy of both data and metadata. Acknowledgement of the EPA would be appreciated.
Abandoned Uranium Mine (AUM) Claim Points, Navajo Nation, 2021, U.S. EPA Region 9
공공데이터포털
This GIS dataset contains point features representing priority abandoned uranium mines in Navajo Nation, as determined by the USEPA and the Navajo Nation. USEPA and NNEPA prioritized mines based on gamma radiation levels, proximity to homes and potential for water contamination identified in the preliminary assessments. Attributes include Mine names, AUM region, reclaimed status, and links to USEPA reports. This dataset contains 523 features. As of June 2021, Phase 2 Trust mines were updated and Wilbur Sells Nos. 4A and 5A was removed due to its status as a "site of interest" rather than a mine.
