The StreamCat Dataset: Accumulated Attributes for NHDPlusV2 (Version 2.1) Catchments for the Conterminous United States: Mine Density Active Mines and Mineral Plants in the US
This dataset represents the mine density within individual, local NHDPlusV2 catchments and upstream, contributing watersheds based on mine plants and operations monitored by the USGS National Minerals Information Center. The National Minerals Information Center canvasses the nonfuel mining and mineral-processing industry in the United States for data on mineral production, consumption, recycling, stocks, and shipments. Mine plants and operations for commodities are expressed as points in a shapefile that was downloaded from the USGS directly. The (mines / catchment) were summarized and accumulated into watersheds to produce local catchment-level and watershed-level metrics as a point data type.

"description": "StreamCat currently contains over 600 metrics that include local catchment (Cat), watershed (Ws), and special metrics. The special metrics were derived through modeling or by combining other StreamCat metrics. These variables include predicted water temperature, predicted biological condition, and the indexes of catchment and watershed integrity. See Geospatial Framework and Terms below for definitions of catchment and watershed as used with the StreamCat Dataset.
These metrics are available for ~2.65 million stream segments and their associated catchments across the conterminous US. StreamCat metrics represent both natural (e.g., soils and geology) and anthropogenic (e.g, urban areas and agriculture) landscape information.",
