Data Description
  Abstract: This digital product is a digital version of Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources (NSNR&R) Published Open File Map (OFM) ME 2001-2, Map of Land Use Constraints in the Halifax-Dartmouth Metropolitan Area, Nova Scotia, compiled by G. Prime of the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources (NSNR&R), Mineral Resources Branch (MRB). The digital product consists of a .pdf file of the map containing information such as: land designation, bedrock aggregate potential, geological contacts and faults.
  Purpose: The purpose of this data set is to create a digital version of Open File Map ME 2001-2. This map is a compilation of land use constraints that may have an impact on aggregate resource development in the Metro area. It accompanies the Economic Geology Series ME 2001-1, Overview of Bedrock Aggregate Potential in the Halifax-Dartmouth Metropolitan Area, Nova Scotia, by G. Prime. The purpose of this map is to help narrow the search when looking for a quarry site.
