This practice addresses an AML PA and its geospatial data relative to the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). This practice is significant to communities impacted by abandoned mines as it provides for uniformity of geospatial data pertaining to the geographic location and description of AML PAs located throughout the United States. This standard will help ensure uniformity of data contributed by each RA and assist organizations in future efforts to create and utilize geospatial data relative to the reclamation of land and the remediation of watersheds located within the AML PAs across the United States.Qualitative and quantitative AML PA descriptions shall be obtained from state and federal regulatory authorities. Use of this standard will help create consistent maps and increase the awareness of the AML PAs throughout the United States and the status of the current reclamation that occurs within each PA over time. This standard creates well organized and easily accessible AML PA data and relational attributes, and it will lead to better communication between RA and federal offices, the public, industry and environmental groups.As used in this practice, the geospatial data represents an area where coal removal occurred prior to SMCRA and these unreclaimed mining features continue to be present within the AMLIS PA, defined as a polygon feature. This practice creates an easier and more efficient way to utilize and share AML PA geospatial data between RAs and communities impacted by abandoned mines.The data set may be served as a layer in The National Map, an online, interactive map service sponsored by a consortium of US federal, state, and local partners and hosted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The National Map provides a consistent framework for high-quality, geospatial data and information from multiple partners to enhance America's ability to access, integrate, and apply current, accurate, and nationally consistent digital data at global, national, and local scales.This standard conforms to the definition of a Data Content Standard as promulgated by the U.S. Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC). Terminology and definitions for identifying geographical features and describing the data model has been adopted from the FGDC Spatial Data Transfer Standard (ANSI INCITS 320-1998 (R2003)) and the FGDC Framework Data Content Standard (FGDC Project 1574-D) Information Technology – Part 5 Governmental unit and other geographic area boundaries.1.1 This practice covers the minimum elements for the accurate description of data for defining an Abandoned Mine Land Inventory System (AMLIS) Problem Area (PA).1.1.1 This practice addresses mining geospatial data relative to the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). This geospatial data shall be obtained from each state, tribal, or federal (or combinations thereof) coal mining regulatory authority (RA) authorized under SMCRA to reclaim the surface and underground effects of past mining operations. Abandoned mine land (AML), as specified in SMCRA Sections 404 (coal), 409 and 411 (non-coal) and cross referenced in additional sections on eligible lands, consists of those lands and waters which were mined for coal or other minerals (or both), or impacted by processing operations prior to enactment of the SMCRA and abandoned or left in an inadequate condition of reclamation, and for which there is no continuing reclamation responsibility under state or other federal laws for mitigation of adverse impacts to human health and safety or environmental resources.1.1.2 Title IV of the SMCRA establishes the national AML Reclamation Program under the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE), U.S. Department of the Interior. The program was developed to reclaim land and water resources adversely affected by past coal mining and left abandoned or inadequately restored. During the years immediately following enactment of the SMCRA, OSMRE, states, and Native American tribes conducted surveys of eligible lands and waters and created individual inventories of problems to be addressed under Title IV. In 1990 SMCRA was amended and OSMRE was required to maintain a national inventory of high priority abandoned coal sites and provide standardized procedures for states and tribes to use in updating the data. The need for an automated nationwide inventory system led to the creation of the national AMLIS, a compilation of the individual state, tribe, Federal Reclamation Program (FRP), and Rural Abandoned Mine Program (RAMP) inventories. The AMLIS documents the estimated unfunded costs to remedy AML problems, records when funding is made available for a PA, and captures completed costs for constructed projects. It is used to record the work completed under each individual AML program and report the extent and cost of AML problems remaining.1.1.3 As used in this practice, an AML PA represents a closed polygon that defines the boundary of a uniquely defined geographic area contained within an AML Planning Unit (PU) as described in the AML Inventory Manual. An AML PA is a subdivision of an AML PU that contains one or more AML problem type keyword features together with adjacent or hydrologically connected and impacted land and water resources. An AML PA should not cross PU boundaries.1.2 This practice applies to pre-SMCRA AML PAs that are inventoried in the AMLIS under the SMCRA Title IV Reauthorization to provide for identification and management of AML sites and reclamation operations and facilitate the sharing of information with the public.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.5 This practice offers a set of instructions for performing one or more specific operations.

5.1 This test method is used to measure the volume rate of flow of water moving in rivers and streams and moving over or through large man-made structures. It can also be used to calibrate such measuring structures as dams and flumes. Measurements may be made from bridges, cableways, or boats; by wading; or through holes cut in an ice cover.5.2 This test method is used in conjunction with determinations of physical, chemical, and biological quality and sediment loadings where the flow rate is a required parameter.1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the volume rate of flow of water in open channels by determining the flow velocity and cross-sectional area and computing the discharge therefrom (Refs (1-7)).21.2 The procedures described in this test method are widely used by those responsible for the collection of streamflow data, for example, the U.S. Geological Survey, Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Water Survey Canada, and many state and provincial agencies. The procedures are generally from internal documents of the above listed agencies, which have become the defacto standards as used in North America.1.3 This test method covers the use of current meters to measure flow velocities. Discharge measurements may be made to establish isolated single values, or may be made in sets or in a series at various stages or water-level elevations to establish a stage-discharge relation at a site. In either case, the same test method is followed for obtaining field data and computation of discharge.1.4 Measurements for the purpose of determining the discharge in efficiency tests of hydraulic turbines are specified in International Electrotechnical Commission Publication 413 for the field acceptance tests of hydraulic turbines, and are not included in this test method.1.5 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

4.1 Most paper is bought and sold in accordance with its mass per unit area, and therefore has great significance both to the consumer and the producer in defining price. Also, the values of many physical properties such as bursting strength, thickness, and bulk are interpreted and specified with regard to the particular mass per unit area involved.1.1 This test method covers the determination of the mass per unit area of paper and paperboard.1.2 In the SI metric units system, the mass per unit area of paper and paperboard is expressed in grams per square meter (g/m2).1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
5.1 This test method is particularly useful for determining the discharge when it cannot be measured directly by some type of current meter to obtain velocities and with sounding weights to determine the cross section.5.2 Even under optimum conditions, the personnel available cannot cover all points of interest during a major flood. Field personnel cannot always obtain reliable results by direct methods if the stage is rising or falling very rapidly, if flowing ice or debris interferes with depth or velocity measurements.5.3 Under the worst conditions, access roads are blocked, cableways and bridges may be washed out, and knowledge of the flood frequently comes too late to obtain direct measurements of flow. Therefore, some type of indirect measurement is necessary. The slope-area method is a commonly used method.1.1 This test method covers the computation of discharge (the volume rate of flow) of water in open channels or streams using representative cross-sectional characteristics, the water-surface slope, and coefficient of channel roughness as input to gradually-varied flow computations.2,31.2 This test method produces an indirect measurement of the maximum discharge for one flow event, usually a specific flood. The computed discharge may be used to help define the high-water segment of a stage-discharge relation.1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
