The StreamCat Dataset: Accumulated Attributes for NHDPlusV2 (Version 2.1) Catchments for the Conterminous United States: Mine Density Active Mines and Mineral Plants in the US
This dataset represents the mine density within individual, local NHDPlusV2 catchments and upstream, contributing watersheds based on mine plants and operations monitored by the USGS National Minerals Information Center. The National Minerals Information Center canvasses the nonfuel mining and mineral-processing industry in the United States for data on mineral production, consumption, recycling, stocks, and shipments. Mine plants and operations for commodities are expressed as points in a shapefile that was downloaded from the USGS directly. The (mines / catchment) were summarized and accumulated into watersheds to produce local catchment-level and watershed-level metrics as a point data type.
