SARMa database (SDB) model for legal and illegal quarry extraction
1. ID of location

2. Name of location
 Every location or potential territory has its own specific name. Name of
deposit is usually chosen by the nearest location, name of region where
the deposit takes place or by the owner.
3. Coordinates of location (using WGS84 system)
 Y
 X
 Z (medium) – only meters (a.s.l.)
4. Location type (can be)
 area with degraded surface (outcrops)
 surface mining (open pit, quarry)
 waste dump
5. Status of location (can be)
 active
 abandoned
 potential
 reconstructed
 temporary active
 inactive
 in process of exploration
 unexplored
6. Prosperity of the area with illegal activity (can be)
 prosperous
 not prosperous
 conditionally prosperous (in between /conditions to be determined)
7. Municipality
 municipality name
 name of the region
8. Date of data input
 to enter date of data in base (dd/mm/yyyy)
9. Name of person that registered the location in database
 last name (initial of first name)
10. Map name (1:25.000 or any other scale used) (topographical)
 map name and its serial number
11. Name of geological map (in scale of 1:100.000 or other map scales)
12. Broader location
 geographical data of location
13. Distance to nearby settlement (in km)
 in settlement or on the edge of the settlement
1
14. Distance and direction to distal settlements should be given
15. Location (can be)
 forest
 meadow
 pasture
 degraded land, but covered by plants / overgrown
 nature conservation area
 national heritage site (archeological, technical, historical...)
 river
 other
16. Location visibility (can be) determined by visibility from settlement or local
road(s)
 poorly visible (could be quantified in percentage)
 visible in local area (<5km)
 visible in broad area (>5km)
17. Description of location (text)
 short description of location
 position and description of the of the wider surroundings deposits
18. Infrastructure near by
 high voltage lines
 low voltage lines
 electric wire
 telephone wire
 waterworks
 water tower
 water/gas pipes
 roads
 railways
 airports
 sewers
 other
19. Waters nearby
 proximity and location of permanent or temporary water protected areas
20. Geological age of rock
 age of the rocks taken from recent geological maps
 age of rocks determined by undertaken analysis (if different)
21. Thickness of humus cover
 estimated thickness of humus in surface mining (quarrying) to be given in
meters
22. Thickness of weathered rock
 estimated thickness of weathered rock in surface mining (quarrying) to be
given in meters
2
23. Rock type
 name of the rock (the geological one or any other commonly used)
24. Name of the rock by Mining Act (if different than geological name – such
crushed rock / aggregates for limestone, dolomite or other rocks)
25. Rock description
 field description
 color
 texture
 structure
 brittle deformation
 rock homogeneity
26. Rock analysis (made)
 Complexometry Y/N
 Hydro geological report of location or area Y/N
 Petrography Y/N
 Sample stored Y/N
27. Volume of extracted rock (m3) (total and annual figures)
28. Description of use of extracted material
 construction
 chemical industry
 cement industry
 Manufactory
 other
29. Resource estimation (m3)
30. Area of resource estimation (ha)
 Estimation of the area with resource
31. Description of resources
 Description of specific characteristic of rocks and location
32. Potential use
 Description of potential use of rock made in field
 Potential use of rock is selected from the attached set of base
33. Remediation of location
 Location need to be remediate
 Location is naturally remediate
 Remediate already
34. Remarks
 Important remarks of location that were not described in other parts
35. References
 Indication of the relevant literature signature
36. Author
 indication of author of fieldwork and author of research
37. Date of field check / exam
