Mining Hazard (not including coal) Great Britain version 8

Mining hazard (not including coal) summarises the location, extent and indicates the level of hazard associated with former and present underground mine workings. The dataset covers Great Britain and is published at 1: 50 000 scale. The content is derived from a range of data sources including, but not limited to the bedrock geology, extensive literature reviews of both published and unpublished documents, abandonment and mine plans, combined with a wealth of expert knowledge and experience. The release of version 8 builds on the content of previously published versions. The coverage has been expanded with the inclusion of newly identified areas and drawing on data from the BGS published Britpits (BGS database of British Pits -includes both surface and underground mineral workings) and other resources. For the first time, zones of influence have been integrated (for evaporites, oil shales and building stones) to indicate the areas surrounding mining sites which might be impacted. The data have been compiled and presented in an easy to use format to provide a national overview of the country's mining legacy. Given the long and complex mining history of Great Britain, this dataset represents the best information available at the present time (September 2020). Work continues to develop this product, which will result in the release of ad hoc updates in the future.

Statement
Underlying geological content is derived from BGS Geology 50k. Additional information relating to individual mining sites has been obtained as a result of comprehensive literature search. Including data derived from published and unpublished maps, plans and documents held by BGS. Supplementary information has been garnered from expert knowledge. Zones of influence have been calculated using a method created by BGS. This procedure has been derived from the published British Coal methodology. All data processing was carried out using ESRI ArcGIS version 10.3.
