Download .zipThe A Law Coal Permit Maps county coverage sets were developed using the original mine maps for coal mining and reclamation permits issued under Ohio law from approximately 1966 through 1973. Approximately 1111 A-Permits were issued during this time period, however, only 350 records could be located and captured at this time. The Division of Mineral Resources Management will continue to search for missing A permit archival records as resources allow; additional A permit data may be added to this existing coverage in the future.
Ohio started issuing coal mining licenses in the 1940s. The earliest license and permit requirements were minimal and sometimes did not include submittal of a map or other delineation of the mined area. Significant changes to legal requirements are reflected by the alphabetical designation of each subsequent law revision, i.e., earlier A-law permits (circa 1966) through contemporary D-law permits. The ODNR-Division of Mineral Resources Management (DMRM) has attempted to create as complete a database as possible from available archive records, however, research has identified missing permit files. Thus, this GIS data is known to be incomplete due to the loss of archival records.
The A law permit maps were scanned at a density of 200 dots per inch (dpi). The scanned image was then heads-up digitized using Microstation computer aided design software (CAD) to create design files grouped by county location. Data captured within the design file includes permit boundary and affected boundary and associated attributes. When available, test hole locations and associated attributes were also captured. The design file was then "placed-to-ground" using ODNR Division of Geological Survey's "ODNR Land Subdivision Background Design Files" NAD83 State Plane coverages and DOQQ aerial images obtained through the Ohio Geographically Referenced Information Program (OGRIP)/Ohio Department of Administrative Services. The design file was then converted to ARC/INFO coverage and projected to State Plane Ohio Coordinates, NAD83:
Projected coordinate system name: NAD_1983_StatePlane_Ohio_South_FIPS_3402_Feet or NAD_1983_StatePlane_Ohio_North_FIPS_3401_Feet
Geographic coordinate system name: GCS_North_American_1983
A complete county coverage set consists of three data files for the permit area, affected area, and test hole locations. For example, the coverage for Harrison County includes:
harrison_a_permitted (Harrison County, A-permit area polygons) harrison_a _affected (Harrison County, A-permit affected area polygons) harrison_testholes_a (Harrison County, Test Hole points)
In addition to the ArcView shape files in the county data sets, the scanned TIF images for source documents are available at DMRM. The scanned mine map depicts information about the operations conducted, environmental resources, and extracted coal resources. If more detailed information is desired, the available archival record for each captured permit can be accessed at either the State Archives at the Ohio Historical Society or the ODNR-DMRM central office.Contact Information:GIS Support, ODNR GIS ServicesOhio Department of Natural ResourcesDivision of Mineral Resources ManagementAbandoned Mine Land Program2045 Morse Rd, Bldg I-2Columbus, OH, 43229Telephone: 614-265-6462Email: gis.support@dnr.ohio.gov

Tags survey, environmental behaviors, lifestyle, status, PRIZM, Baltimore Ecosystem Study, LTER, BES Summary BES Research, Applications, and Education Description XY Positions for BES telephone survey. The BES Household Survey 2003 is a telephone survey of metropolitan Baltimore residents consisting of 29 questions. The survey research firm, Hollander, Cohen, and McBride conducted the survey, asking respondents questions about their outdoor recreation activities, watershed knowledge, environmental behavior, neighborhood characteristics and quality of life, lawn maintenance, satisfaction with life, neighborhood, and the environment, and demographic information. The data from each respondent is also associated with a PRIZM� classification, census block group, and latitude-longitude. PRIZM� classifications categorize the American population using Census data, market research surveys, public opinion polls, and point-of-purchase receipts. The PRIZM� classification is spatially explicit allowing the survey data to be viewed and analyzed spatially and allowing specific neighborhood types to be identified and compared based on the survey data. The census block group and latitude-longitude data also allow us additional methods of presenting and analyzing the data spatially. The household survey is part of the core data collection of the Baltimore Ecosystem Study to classify and characterize social and ecological dimensions of neighborhoods (patches) over time and across space. This survey is linked to other core data including US Census data, remotely-sensed data, and field data collection, including the BES DemSoc Field Observation Survey. The BES 2003 telephone survey was conducted by Hollander, Cohen, and McBride from September 1-30, 2003. The sample was obtained from the professional sampling firm Claritas, in order that their "PRIZM" encoding would be appended to each piece of sample (telephone number) supplied. Mailing addresses were also obtained so that a postcard could be sent in advance of interviewers calling. The postcard briefly informed potential respondents about the survey, who was conducting it, and that they might receive a phone call in the next few weeks. A stratified sampling method was used to obtain between 50 - 150 respondents in each of the 15 main PRIZM classifications. This allows direct comparison of PRIZM classifications. Analysis of the data for the general metropolitan Baltimore area must be weighted to match the population proportions normally found in the region. They obtained a total of 9000 telephone numbers in the sample. All 9,000 numbers were dialed but contact was only made on 4,880. 1508 completed an interview, 2524 refused immediately, 147 broke off/incomplete, 84 respondents had moved and were no longer in the correct location, and a qualified respondent was not available on 617 calls. This resulted in a response rate of 36.1% compared with a response rate of 28.2% in 2000. The CATI software (Computer Assisted Terminal Interviewing) randomized the random sample supplied, and was programmed for at least 3 attempted callbacks per number, with emphasis on pulling available callback sample prior to accessing uncalled numbers. Calling was conducted only during evening and weekend hours, when most head of households are home. The use of CATI facilitated stratified sampling on PRIZM classifications, centralized data collection, standardized interviewer training, and reduced the overall cost of primary data collection. Additionally, to reduce respondent burden, the questionnaire was revised to be concise, easy to understand, minimize the use of open-ended responses, and require an average of 15 minutes to complete. The household survey is part of the core data collection of the Baltimore Ecosystem Study to classify and characterize social and ecological dimensions of neighborhoods (patches) over time and across space. This survey is linked to other core data, including US Census data, remotely-sensed data, and field data collection, including the BES DemSoc Field Observation Survey. Additional documentation of this database is attached to this metadata and includes 4 documents, 1) the telephone survey, 2) documentation of the telephone survey, 3) metadata for the telephone survey, and 4) a description of the attribute data in the BES survey 2003 survey. This database was created by joining the GDT geographic database of US Census Block Group geographies for the Baltimore Metropolitan Statisticsal Area (MSA), with the Claritas PRIZM database, 2003, of unique classifications of each Census Block Group, and the unique PRIZM code for each respondent from the BES Household Telephone Survey, 2003.

This GIS database is a generalized land cover database designed for Regional Planning with a land use component used for forecasts and modeling at ARC. LandPro should not be taken out of its Regional context, though county-level or municipal-level analysis may be useful for transportation, environmental and land use planning.
Description This layer was developed by the Research & Analytics Division of the Atlanta Regional Commission and is a generalized land cover database designed for regional planning with a land use component used for forecasts and modeling at ARC. LandPro2012 should not be taken out of its regional context, though county-level or municipal-level analysis may be useful for transportation, environmental and land use planning. LandPro2012 is ARC's land use/land cover GIS database for the 21-county Atlanta Region (Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry, Rockdale, the EPA non-attainment (8hr standard) counties of Carroll, Coweta, Barrow, Bartow, Forsyth, Hall, Newton, Paulding, Spalding and Walton and Dawson which will become a part of the 2010 Urbanized Area). LandPro2012 was created by on-screen photo-interpretation and digitizing of ortho-rectified aerial photography. The primary source for this GIS database were the local parcels and the 2009 true color imagery with 1.64-foot pixel resolution, provided by Aerials Express, Inc. 2010 is the first year we have used parcel data to help more accurately delineate the LandPro categories.For ArcGIS 10 users: See full metadata by enabling FGDC metadata in ArcCatalog Customize > ArcCatalog Options > Metadata (tab)Though the terms are often used interchangeably, land use and land cover are not synonymous. Land cover generally refers to the natural or cultivated vegetation, rock, or water covering the land, as well as the developed surface which can be identified on aerial photography. Land use generally refers to the way that humans use or will use the land, regardless of its apparent land cover. Collateral data for the land cover mapping effort included the Aero Surveys of Georgia street atlas, the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) Community Facilities database and the USGS Digital Raster Graphics (DRGs) of 1:24,000 scale topographic maps. The land use component of this database was added after the land cover interpretation was completed, and is based primarily on ownership information provided by the 21 counties and the City of Atlanta for larger tracts of undeveloped land that meet the land use definition of "Extensive Institutional" or "Park Lands" (refer to the Code Descriptions and Discussion section below). Although some of the boundaries of these tracts may align with visible features from the aerial photography, these areas are generally "non-photo-identifiable," thus require other sources for accurate identification. The land use/cover classification system is adapted from the USGS (Anderson) classification system, incorporating a mix of level I, II and III classes. There are a total of 25 categories in ARC's land use/cover system (described below), 2 of which are used only for land use designations: Park Lands (Code 175) and Extensive Institutional (Code 125). The other 23 categories can describe land use and/or land cover, and in most cases will be the same. The LU code will differ from the LC code only where the Park Lands (Code 175) and Extensive Institutional (Code 125) land holdings have been identified from collateral sources of land ownership.Although similar to previous eras of ARC land use/cover databases developed before 1999 (1995, 1990 etc.), "LandPro" differs in many significant ways. Originally, ARC's land use and land cover database was built from 1975 data compiled by USGS at scales of 1:100,000 and selectively, 1:24,000. The coverage was updated in 1990 using SPOT satellite imagery and low-altitude aerial photography and again in 1995 using 1:24,000 scale panchromatic aerial photography. Unlike these previous 5-year updates, the 1999, 2001, 2003, 2005 2007, 2008 and 2009 LandPro databases were compiled at a larger scale (1:14,000) and do not directly reflect pre-1999 delineations. In addition, all components of LandPro were produced using digital orthophotos for on-screen photo-interpretation and digitizing, thus eliminating the use of unrectified photography and the need for data transfer and board digitizing. As a result, the positional accuracy of LandPro is much higher than in previous eras. There have also been some changes to the classification system prior to 1999. Previously, three categories of Forest (41-deciduous, 42-coniferous, and 43-mixed forest) were used; this version does not distinguish between coniferous and deciduous forest, thus Code 40 is used to simply designate Forest. Likewise, two categories of Wetlands (61-forested wetland, and 62-non-forested wetland) were used before; this version does not distinguish between forested and non-forested wetlands, thus Code 60 is used to simply designate Wetlands. With regard to Wetlands, the boundaries themselves are now based on the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) delineations along with the CIR imagery. Furthermore, Code 51 has been renamed "Rivers" from "Streams and Canals" and represents the Chattahoochee and Etowah Rivers which have been identified in the land use/cover database. In addition to these changes, Code 52 has been dropped from the system as there are no known instances of naturally occurring lakes in the Region. Finally, the land use code for Park Lands has been changed from 173 to 175 so as to minimize confusion with the Parks land cover code, 173. There has been a change in the agriculture classification for LandPro2005 and any LandPro datasets hereafter. Previously, four categories of agriculture (21- agriculture-cropland and pasture, 22 - agriculture - orchards, 23 - agriculture - confined feeding operations and 24 - agriculture - other) were used; this version does not distinguish between the different agricultural lands. Code 20 is now used to designate agriculture. Due to new technology and the enhancements to this database, direct comparison between LandPro99, LandPro2001, LandPro2003 and landPro2005 and all successive updates are now possible, with the 1999 database serving as ARC's new baseline. Please note that as a result of the 2003 mapping effort, LandPro2001 has been adjusted for better comparison to LandPro2003 and is named "LandPro01_adj." Likewise, LandPro99 was previously adjusted when LandPro2001 was completed, but was not further adjusted following the 2003 update. Although some adjustments were originally made to the 1995 land use/cover database for modeling applications, direct comparisons to previous versions of ARC land use/cover before 1999 should be avoided in most cases.The 2010 update has moved away from using the (1:14,000) scale, as will any future updates. Due to the use of local parcels, we have begun to snap LandPro boundaries to the parcel data, making a more accurate dataset. The major change in this update was to make residential areas reflect modern zoning codes more closely. Due to these changes you will no longer be able to compare this dataset to previous years. High density (113) has changed from lots below .25 to lots .25 and smaller. Medium density (112) has changed from .25 to 2 acre lots, to .26 to 1 acre lots. Low density has changed from 2 to 5 acre lots to 1.1 to 2 acre lots. It must be noted that in the 2010 update, you still have old acreage standards reflected in the low density. This will be corrected in the 2011 and 2012 updates. The main focus of the 2010 update was to make sure the LandPro' residential areas reflected the local parcels and change LandPro based on the parcel acreage. DeKalb is the only county not corrected at this time because no parcels were available. The future updates will consist of but are not limited to, reclassifying areas in 111 that do not meet the new acreage standards, delineating and reclassifying Cell Towers, substations and transmission lines/power cuts from TCU (14) to a subset of this (142), reclassifying airports as 141 form TCU, and reclassifying landfills form urban other (17) to 174. Other changes are delineating more roads other than just Limited Access Highways, making sure parks match the already existing Land use parks layer, and beginning to differentiate office from commercial and commercial/industrial.Classification System:111: Low Density Single Family Residential - Houses on 1.1 - 2 acre lots. Though 2010 still reflects the old standard of lots up to 5 acres.112: Medium Density Single Family Residential - These areas usually occur in urban or suburban zones and are generally characterized by houses on .26 to 1 acre lots. This category accounts for the majority of residential land use in the Region and includes a wide variety of neighborhood types.113: High Density Residential - Areas that have predominantly been developed for concentrated single family residential use. These areas occur almost exclusively in urban neighborhoods with streets on a grid network, and are characterized by houses on lots .25 acre or smaller but may also include mixed residential areas with duplexes and small apartment buildings.117: Multifamily Residential - Residential areas comprised predominantly of apartment, condominium and townhouse complexes where net density generally exceeds eight units per acre. Typical apartment buildings are relatively easy to identify, but some high rise structures may be interpreted as, or combined with, office buildings, though many of these dwellings were identified and delineated in downtown and midtown for the first time with the 2003 update. Likewise, some smaller apartments and townhouses may be interpreted as, or combined with, medium- or high-density single family residential. Housing on military bases, campuses, resorts, agricultural properties and construction work sites is

The Forest Conservation Act of 1991 requires units of local government with planning and zoning authority to establish and implement local forest conservation programs, and provides for the Department of Natural Resource's (DNR) administration of forest conservation requirements. During the 2008 Legislative Session, HB972 was adopted which effected the Forest Conservation Act's reporting and enforcement requirements. On or before July 1st of each year, the DNR shall submit to the Senate Education, Health, and Environmental Affairs Committee and the House Environmental Matters Committee a statewide report compiled from local authorities. Included with this report DNR will also be required to submit, to the best practicable extent, the size shape and location of all conserved and planted forest areas submitted in an electronic geographic information system or other similar computer aided design format.This dataset is intended to satisfy the new geospatial reporting requirements beginning with the 2010 fiscal year reporting period.This is a MD iMAP hosted service.

Download .zipThis coverage was extracted from the 1994 statewide land cover inventory of Ohio produced by Bruce R. Motsch and Gary M. Schaal of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
The land cover inventory for the State of Ohio was produced by the digital image processing of Landsat Thematic Mapper Data. The Thematic Mapper is a multi-spectral scanner that collects electromagnetic radiation reflected from the earth's surface in the visible, near infrared and mid-infrared wavelength bands. The resolution of the Thematic Mapper data is a 30 meter by 30 meter cell. The computer analysis of the data isolates unique spectral classes that relate to land cover characteristics.
The land cover inventory was produced from Thematic Mapper data acquired in September and October 1994. The data was classified into the general land cover categories of urban, agriculture/open urban areas, shrub/scrub, wooded, open water, non-forested wetlands and barren.
The land cover information reflects the conditions of the satellite data during the specific year and season the data was acquired. The Thematic Mapper data was processed using ERDAS image processing software. The data was originally created in raster format and georeferenced to Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) zone 17 coordinates NAD27. The data can be combined with other georeferenced digital data layers.
The data is also available in its original ERDAS image format.
Original coverage data was converted from the .e00 file to a more standard ESRI shapefile(s) in November 2014.Contact Information:GIS Support, ODNR GIS ServicesOhio Department of Natural ResourcesReal Estate & Land ManagementReal Estate and Lands Management2045 Morse Rd, Bldg I-2Columbus, OH, 43229Telephone: 614-265-6462Email: gis.support@dnr.ohio.gov

Download .zipThe A Law Coal Permit Maps county coverage sets were developed using the original mine maps for coal mining and reclamation permits issued under Ohio law from approximately 1966 through 1973. Approximately 1111 A-Permits were issued during this time period, however, only 350 records could be located and captured at this time. The Division of Mineral Resources Management will continue to search for missing A permit archival records as resources allow; additional A permit data may be added to this existing coverage in the future.
Ohio started issuing coal mining licenses in the 1940s. The earliest license and permit requirements were minimal and sometimes did not include submittal of a map or other delineation of the mined area. Significant changes to legal requirements are reflected by the alphabetical designation of each subsequent law revision, i.e., earlier A-law permits (circa 1966) through contemporary D-law permits. The ODNR-Division of Mineral Resources Management (DMRM) has attempted to create as complete a database as possible from available archive records, however, research has identified missing permit files. Thus, this GIS data is known to be incomplete due to the loss of archival records.
The A law permit maps were scanned at a density of 200 dots per inch (dpi). The scanned image was then heads-up digitized using Microstation computer aided design software (CAD) to create design files grouped by county location. Data captured within the design file includes permit boundary and affected boundary and associated attributes. When available, test hole locations and associated attributes were also captured. The design file was then "placed-to-ground" using ODNR Division of Geological Survey's "ODNR Land Subdivision Background Design Files" NAD83 State Plane coverages and DOQQ aerial images obtained through the Ohio Geographically Referenced Information Program (OGRIP)/Ohio Department of Administrative Services. The design file was then converted to ARC/INFO coverage and projected to State Plane Ohio Coordinates, NAD83:
Projected coordinate system name: NAD_1983_StatePlane_Ohio_South_FIPS_3402_Feet or NAD_1983_StatePlane_Ohio_North_FIPS_3401_Feet
Geographic coordinate system name: GCS_North_American_1983
A complete county coverage set consists of three data files for the permit area, affected area, and test hole locations. For example, the coverage for Harrison County includes:
harrison_a_permitted (Harrison County, A-permit area polygons) harrison_a _affected (Harrison County, A-permit affected area polygons) harrison_testholes_a (Harrison County, Test Hole points)
In addition to the ArcView shape files in the county data sets, the scanned TIF images for source documents are available at DMRM. The scanned mine map depicts information about the operations conducted, environmental resources, and extracted coal resources. If more detailed information is desired, the available archival record for each captured permit can be accessed at either the State Archives at the Ohio Historical Society or the ODNR-DMRM central office.Contact Information:GIS Support, ODNR GIS ServicesOhio Department of Natural ResourcesDivision of Mineral Resources ManagementAbandoned Mine Land Program2045 Morse Rd, Bldg I-2Columbus, OH, 43229Telephone: 614-265-6462Email: gis.support@dnr.ohio.gov
