- Abstract
- Metal Mines records locations of disused metal mines in Wales with each being represented by centre point of the site. The dataset is collected to display the locations of metal mines which can be used in conjunction with other datasets to provide a better understanding of the area. They have also been attributed with a "Failing Water Body" status (Amber or Red). This identifies mines which are understood to be contributing to failures to achieve good ecological or chemical status in water bodies with High (red) or low (amber) confidence. This attribute was applied in 2020 and only to sites within water bodies identified as failing in the 2018 Water Framework Directive (WFD) Cycle 2 classification. The Metal Mines dataset is sourced from legacy data and reports on metal mines in Wales, originally to support the 2002 Metal Mines Strategy for Wales. Changes have been made to the dataset to remove duplicates and to correct inaccurate grid references for certain mine locations. The Failing Water Bodies attribute is sourced from the 2020 Failing Water Bodies Report. With amendments to remove duplicates and correct errors.
