    Creator:
    Walsh, Stephen J.
    Abstract:
    The Minerals Yearbook and the Census of Minerals Industries' statistics lack detail, completeness, and accuracy concerning stone and sand and gravel in Oregon and are therefore deficient in their utility.

    Abstract:
    There is a considerable amount of vacant land zoned for industrial use within the Corvallis Urban Growth Boundary. A detailed investigation of the area reveals a total of 632.98 acres of such land. However, when closely scrutinized, it appears that the total number of acres is misleading, as only 77.50...
