Aggregate Resource Potential of the Prince George Area
by P.T. Bobrowsky, PGeo, N.W.D. Massey, PGeo, and A. Matheson, PGeo.

Aggregate potential maps provide guidelines for testing, evaluating and managing aggregate resources within a defined area. The maps provide first approximation estimates of broad, regional aggregate distribution and are suitable for use by municipal and landuse planners as well as the aggregate industry.

321 individual polygons, based on soil and landform units within the Prince George area, have been identified as significant for hosting potential natural aggregate resources. The potential was assessed by compiling data pertaining to landform type, soil type, area, presence of pits, overburden thickness, gravel thickness and volume for each of the original 1107 polygons in the study area. Each factor was subdivided into several classes and ranked. The rankings were used to eliminate unfavourable polygons, and to subdivide the remainder into areas of primary, secondary or tertiary significance
