Areas where geologic conditions are more favorable for current underground mining technology in the Kaiparowits Plateau study area, southern Utah (kaisumg )

This is a coverage that shows areas in the Kaiparowits Plateau where geologic conditions in the Calico and A-sequences are more favorable for current underground mining technology (Hettinger and other, chap. T). This coverage contains numerous attributes of information. It was compiled by computing the geometric intersection of nine polygon coverages using the ARC/INFO UNION command. This coverage is characterized as being a GUIDE TO WHERE THE MORE FAVORABLE COAL AREAS ARE LIKELY TO BE for current underground mining technology: areas where coal beds in the Calico and A-sequences are greater than 3.5 feet thick, less than 3,000 feet deep, and inclined by less than 12 degrees, as described in Hettinger and others,...
