Aggregate Site Authorized Coordinate system: 4269 - "NAD83" Abstract: Retirement Note: Please note that these data are replaced by Aggregate Site Authorized - Active and Aggregate Site Authorized - Inactive, and are available through the LIO warehouse. Contains all the Licenced and Permitted Pits and Quarries under the Aggregate Resources Act of Ontario that are regulated by Ministry of Natural Resources. Polygons represent the Licenced or Permitted boundary of the Pit or Quarry. The data in this data set should ONLY include those that reside currently within the ALPS (Aggregate Licencing and Permitting System) application. The data within is 'Authorized' by ALPS. No other data should be entered. If it doesn't have an ALPS ID (Licence or Permit ID), then it does not belong. This data does not include Ministry of Transportation pits. This layer is part of what was known as the OMNR Fundamental Dataset.

  Purpose:

  For use in monitoring and maintaining Licences and Permits, may be used for planning and resource allocation. The purpose it to track all the permits and licences physical location in detail and have some basic information about each. The purpose of the re-class from pitquar to this new version called Aggregate Site Authorize is to ensure that the data is 100% correct or as near to be as possible. The whole idea is to get rid of all the garbage that was cluttering up the pitquar data class by making a rule that only those that can be validated by ALPS shall be entered. The ultimate purpose being to create a useful aggregate data class that people can actual use.

  Supplemental Information:

  Additional Time Period Information: Original data came from OBM maps from the early 1990's. This was entered into the original NRVIS data class pitquar, which was updated continually. The pitquar data class was then re-structured into several other data classes of which this is one in 2005. It has been partially migrated over, and is being updated continually. As of December 2010 an automated link was established connecting the Aggregate Licence and Permit System (ALPS) with the Aggregate Site Authorized layer available in LIO and NRVIS. This means that any tabular information that is altered within ALPS will automatically be updated to the layer, but will only occur for the sites that have already been populated in the layer.

  Horizontal: Very accurate. Has been field verified many times. Most discrepancies occure around where points are taken rather than positional accuracy. So if line was a fence line, property line, road line, etc... Positional accuracy is probably sub-meter say +/- 1 meter. Feature accuracy is probably a bit higher at +/- 5-10 meters.; Vertical: Unknown
