FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES CODES AND VALUES:
ANTS = anthracite coal
BFG = blast furnace gas
BITS = bituminous coal (surface)
BITSU = bituminous coal (surface/underground)
BITU = bituminous coal (underground)
BITUS = bituminous coal (underground/surface)
COG = coke oven gas
FO2 = fuel oil
FO6 = fuel oil
JF = jet fuel
KER = kerosene
LIGS = lignite coal
LPG = liquefied petroleum gas
NG = natural gas
PC = petroleum coke
REF = refuse
RG = refinery gas
SUBS = subbituminous coal
WD = wood
NUCLEAR = nuclear
FUELTYPE = primary fuel used. Other fuels used are denoted
by a value of "11" in the item field(s) for the
specific fuel type(s).
DESCRIPT = BASED upon FUELTYPE ( see above)
For the fuel types listed above:
11 indicates that the specified fuel type is used.
-99 indicates that the specified fuel type is not used.
0 was not defined in the metadata, but may indicate
that the specified fuel type is not used.
Fuel type and value definintions source:
FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISION, FORM 423 database
STATECTY = STATE AND COUNTY FEDERAL INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM (FIPS) UTILITYID = UTILITY ID as defined in EIA-767 database. See contacts. PLANTID = POWER PLANT ID as defined in EIA-767 database. See contacts. CITYLIM = CITY LIMITS (see Data Lineage Summary/Edits, below)
USER NOTES:
Three plants (Higgins, G E Turner, and Scholz) were mislocated and St. Lucie nuclear plant was not included in the original coverage. The coverage was edited to locate these plants properly. See "Edits" under the Data Lineage Summary, below.
FGDL QUALITY ASSURANCE STATUS:
-Tolerances were set to FGDL Standards
-Precision was set to Double
-Projected from GEOGRAPHIC to FGDL ALBERS
-DESCRIPT item added based upon FUELTYPE item
-NUCLEAR item added (designation of nuclear plants found in EIA-767 report)
-Changed records to UPPERCASE
-Edited items UTILITYNAM, PLANTNAME, FUEL_TYPE, and COUNTY to spell-out
the full names/information for each.
-Dropped items: FIPS:ST, FIPS:CO (<-see STATECTY), FIPS, and STATE.

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
PROCESS: Power plants were collected from the EIA-767 report
and converted into a point coverage.
PROCESS DATE: 19970715
SOURCE: Energy Information Administration
TITLE: form EIA-767, Steam electric plant operation and
design report Geospatial Data Presentation Form: model
PUB. DATE: 1994
SCALE: 1:100000
EDITS:
PLANT: Scholz, Jackson County
REASON: Plant was mislocated.
ACTION: According to Florida Power & Light's webpage, this plant is
in the city of Sneads. Using the FGDL coverage CITYLM for
Jackson County, the point for this plant was moved to Sneads.
PLANTS: Higgins, Pinellas County
G E Turner, Volusia County
St. Lucie, St. Lucie County
REASON: Higgins and G E Turner were mislocated and St. Lucie was
not included in the original coverage.
ACTION: Coordinates were taken from the EIA-767 (1997) report to
create a point coverage. The coverage was APPENDed to the
original coverage.
Completeness Report:
The completeness of the dataset is known to be suspect. Power
plants generating less than 100 MW and power plants that do not
provide power to the public are omitted from the EIA-767 dataset.
Therefore there are several power plants that do not have location
data.
Data Quality Information:
All power plants are labeled correctly and have plntids.
The data collected from the EIA 767 are very accurate.

with U.S. Geoloical Survey editorial standards. Any use of trade,
