Data Sources & Methodology

S&S Rock Holdings organizes public-source and derived intelligence for the quarry, aggregate and mineral-property industries. We connect data from government agencies and public records into a single quarry intelligence platform. This page explains what each source contributes, how it is refreshed, and what limitations apply.

Important

S&S Rock Holdings organizes public-source intelligence. We do not represent that every property listed is for sale. Source data may require independent verification before any transaction, investment or operational decision.

MSHA (Mine Safety and Health Administration)

What it contributes

Mine identity, operator names, mine status, inspection records, violation history, employment and production activity signals.

Refresh method

Synced periodically from MSHA public data services. Records are updated as MSHA publishes new inspection and activity data.

Coverage limitations

MSHA records identify mine sites and operators but do not provide parcel boundaries, ownership details or property boundaries. Some records may reflect historical or inactive designations.

State Mining & Environmental Agencies (e.g., TDEC)

What it contributes

Surface mining permits, NPDES water permits, ARAP permits, permitted acreage, permittee/operator names, permit status, effective and expiration dates.

Refresh method

Synced from state environmental agency public databases and permit registries. Refresh frequency varies by state agency publication schedule.

Coverage limitations

Permit boundaries and acreage may differ from actual parcel boundaries. Permittee names may not match current landowner of record. Some permits may be expired or in transfer.

County GIS / Parcel Records

What it contributes

Parcel boundaries, parcel IDs, acreage, assessed values, land and improvement values, property addresses and mailing addresses.

Refresh method

Synced from county GIS and assessor databases where available. Coverage varies by county — not all counties provide public GIS data.

Coverage limitations

Parcel data reflects assessor records which may lag deed transfers. Acreage figures are assessor estimates and may differ from surveyed boundaries. Not all counties are covered.

Deeds / Ownership Records

What it contributes

Landowner names, deed book and page references, ownership transfer dates and recorded easements where available.

Refresh method

Sourced from county register of deeds where digitized records are available. Not all counties provide digitized deed records.

Coverage limitations

Ownership data may lag recent transfers. Deed records may not reflect unrecorded agreements, trusts or entity transfers. Independent title verification is recommended for any transaction.

USGS / Geology Datasets

What it contributes

Rock type, formation name, geologic age, lithology, deposit classification, mineral occurrence data and regional geologic context.

Refresh method

Synced from USGS MRDS, USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (SGMC) and state geological survey databases.

Coverage limitations

Geologic data is regional and may not reflect site-specific conditions. USGS MRDS records may be historical and not reflect current site status. Site-specific geologic investigation is recommended for any acquisition decision.

TDOT / Transportation Demand Data

What it contributes

Aggregate producer plant locations, plant types, regional aggregate demand, transportation project demand and market context.

Refresh method

Synced from Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) approved producer lists and aggregate demand data where published.

Coverage limitations

TDOT data covers Tennessee state transportation demand. Demand figures are state-level and should not be attributed to individual sites. Not all states have equivalent published data.

Other Government / Public Datasets

What it contributes

Environmental records (EPA, NPDES), production estimates, market production context and additional public-source intelligence as available.

Refresh method

Synced from respective public agency databases and APIs as data is published.

Coverage limitations

Coverage varies by source and region. Some datasets are updated infrequently by the source agency.

Our Methodology

S&S Rock Holdings does not own or control the source data. We organize, connect and present public-source intelligence in a format that helps quarry buyers, sellers, operators, investors and industry professionals make better decisions. Our process:

  • Collect public-source data from government agencies and public records
  • Link records across sources by mine ID, parcel ID, coordinates and name matching
  • Organize intelligence into quarry-property records with ownership, geology, permits, compliance, production and market context
  • Apply screening and opportunity scoring based on available source coverage
  • Clearly label source dates and flag items requiring independent verification
