1Table includes data available through September 30, 2009.
2In addition to the commodities listed, a variety of clay, dolomite, limestone, sand, and crushed construction stone was produced, and natron (soda ash)
may have been produced, but available information is inadequate to make estimates of output. Natural gas liquids also were produced but were blended
with crude petroleum and reported as part of that total.
3Includes hot-briquetted iron.
