Shapefile Submission

​​​​Electronic Shapefiles

The Division of Mine Permits (DMP) requires the electronic submittal of proposed permit boundaries, approved permit boundaries, fills, haul roads, permanent impoundments and bond increments in shapefile format. RAM 158 provides documentation on the required format specifications.

QGIS is a free desktop mapping application​ which may be used to verify that shapefiles display correctly before they are submitted to DMP.
