About
The PAMP (Principal Areas of Mine Pollution) data set is a compilation of 2,422 mining
operations and their potential water-quality problems. This information was originally
compiled in 1972 by the Division of Mines and Geology for the State Water Resources
Control Board. It was published in a series of volumes of tabular data. The data set
includes operations where production exceeded $100,000 or where other factors indicated a
high potential for pollution.
Spatial Data
The spatial data is available as a set of ESRI shapefiles compressed in a
ZIP archive
file (approx. 2.0 mb). The archive contains a shapefile for point data. The archive also
contains this html file and FGDC metadata.
