Deposits are commonly graded and stratified. Example: 793023 - Location of sample 3023 taken in 1979, containing 1.4 percent silt-clay Commonly till, poorly graded and of variable grain size, having a silt-clay content > 5 and > 15 percent) and stone size exceeding allowable limits for most geotechnical purposes (except subgrade uses) without processing (i.e., washing, screening or crushing). Example: 793027 - Location of sample 3027 taken in 1979, containing 11.3 percent silt-clay Commonly silty till, silt or clay samples, having silt-clay content > 15 percent. Example: 770686 - Location of sample 0686 taken in 1977, containing 36.9 percent silt-clay NOTE: This is a composite legend for all aggregate-resource maps. All aggregate zones and sample types shown in the legend may not appear on this map. Aggregate zone classification is based on airphoto interpretation, field investigation and sieve analyses. Areas outside the numbered zones have no known potential for granular materials; however silty tills, rock rubble suitable for fill, and bedrock suitable for aggregate may be present. Classification criteria used on this map do not consider current or conflicting land uses, nor do they guarantee either access to, or the quality of, the material located within these zones. ZONES OF AGGREGATE POTENTIAL Contains granular materials; probability of locating economic deposits is moderate to high Contain thin (less than 2 m) or discontinuous granular materials; also includes areas where extent of thicker deposits could not be determined by field investigation; probability of locating economic deposits is moderate to low May contain granular materials but deposits are not substantiated by field investigation; probability of locating economic deposits is moderate to low Material of granular composition (e.g., sandy tills and colluvium) that generally contains up to 8 percent silt-clay content, but could be improved for higher grade uses by washing or screening Contains sand-size granular materials; high potential for economic exploitation of sand; low to moderate potential for coarser granular materials Eskers: sinuous ridges of granular materials; moderate to high potential for economic exploitation In addition to this map data an aggregate database is accessible in the Geoscience resource Atlas of Newfoundland and Labrador (http://gis.geosurv.gov.nl.ca) for all granular-aggregate maps and sample data. The database provides information on more than 13 000 samples collected from 230, 1:50 000-scale-map areas in Newfoundland and Labrador. This map was originally produced in a series of blueline maps from airphoto interpretation and field work, Environmental Geological Section, 1983. In some map areas additional sample data was collected after the 1983 publication. The location of roads added to topographic map base are approximate. Elevation in feet above mean sea level. Contour interval 50 feet. Digital Cartography by T.J. Sears, Geological Survey, Department of Natural Resources, Government of Newfoundland and Labrador.

A 500 to 1000 gm split of the <8 mm material (sand-silt-clay) was retained for laboratory sieve analysis. Laboratory sieve analyses included the use of seven sieves with mesh openings of 4, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125, 0.062 and -0.062 mm. Samples were wet and/or dry sieved (Kirby et al., 1983) depending on silt-clay content and consolidation of particles.

LEGEND
Sample types (based on laboratory sieve analysis - see Table 1)SampleSymbol Definition
Commonly gravel or sand, having silt-clay content < 5 percent. Deposits are commonly graded and stratified. Example:793023 - Location of sample 3023 taken in 1979, containing 1.4 percent silt-clay
Commonly till, poorly graded and of variable grain size, having a silt-clay content > 5 and > 15 percent) and stone sizeexceeding allowable limits for most geotechnical purposes (except subgrade uses) without processing (i.e., washing,screening or crushing). Example: 793027 - Location of sample 3027 taken in 1979, containing 11.3 percent silt-clay
Commonly silty till, silt or clay samples, having silt-clay content > 15 percent. Example: 770686 - Location of sample 0686taken in 1977, containing 36.9 percent silt-clay
NOTE: This is a composite legend for all aggregate-resource maps. All aggregate zones and sample types shown in the legend maynot appear on this map. Aggregate zone classification is based on airphoto interpretation, field investigation and sieve analyses. Areasoutside the numbered zones have no known potential for granular materials; however silty tills, rock rubble suitable for fill, and bedrocksuitable for aggregate may be present. Classification criteria used on this map do not consider current or conflicting land uses, nor dothey guarantee either access to, or the quality of, the material located within these zones.
ZONES OF AGGREGATE POTENTIALContains granular materials; probability of locating economic deposits is moderate to high
Contain thin (less than 2 m) or discontinuous granular materials; also includes areas where extent of thicker depositscould not be determined by field investigation; probability of locating economic deposits is moderate to low
May contain granular materials but deposits are not substantiated by field investigation; probability of locating economicdeposits is moderate to low
Material of granular composition (e.g., sandy tills and colluvium) that generally contains up to 8 percent silt-clay content,but could be improved for higher grade uses by washing or screening
Contains sand-size granular materials; high potential for economic exploitation of sand; low to moderate potential forcoarser granular materials
Eskers: sinuous ridges of granular materials; moderate to high potential for economic exploitation
In addition to this map data an aggregate database is accessible in the Geoscience resource Atlas of Newfoundland and Labrador(http://gis.geosurv.gov.nl.ca) for all granular-aggregate maps and sample data. The database provides information on more than 13000 samples collected from 230, 1:50 000-scale-map areas in Newfoundland and Labrador.
This map was originally produced in a series of blueline maps from airphoto interpretation and field work, Environmental GeologicalSection, 1983. In some map areas additional sample data was collected after the 1983 publication.
The location of roads added to topographic map base are approximate.

Grain-size results from the 63, 32, 16 and 8 mm mesh sieves were obtained at the sample site location by sieving between 10 and 15kg of material. A 500 to 1000 gm split of the <8 mm material (sand-silt-clay) was retained for laboratory sieve analysis. Laboratorysieve analyses included the use of seven sieves with mesh openings of 4, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125, 0.062 and -0.062 mm. Samples werewet and/or dry sieved (Kirby et al., 1983) depending on silt-clay content and consolidation of particles.
