Pittsburgh Coal Bed County Statistics (Chemistry) in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, and Maryland

This dataset is a polygon coverage of counties limited to the extent of the Pittsburgh coal bed resource areas and attributed with statistics on these coal quality parameters: ash yield (percent), sulfur (percent), SO2 (lbs per million Btu), calorific value (Btu/lb), arsenic (ppm) content and mercury (ppm) content. The file has been generalized from detailed geologic coverages found elsewhere in Professional Paper 1625-C. The attributes were generated from public data found in the geochemical dataset found in Chap. C, Appendix 8, Disc 1, as well as some additional proprietary data. Please see the metadata file found in Chap. C, Appendix 9, Disc 1, for more detailed information on the geochemical attributes. The county statistical data used for this data set are found in Tables 2-5 and 17-18, Chap. C, Disc 1. Additional county geochemical statistics for other parameters are found in Tables 6-16, Chap. C, Disc 1.
