Comments on the location information

  • Adjusted location of this gravel pit to match TNM aerial photography as reported by someone who commented on an Idaho Department of Environmental Quality report for the city of Plummer, ID (per email to Tom Frost of USGS on Apr 5, 2018). Close examination of both MRDS and USMIN records there suggest that the proposed location change is accurate, as the original location came from a USBM report of 1972 and there are no other MRDS records nearby with which this site could be confused.
