Description: The Surf_Mines dataset contains a subset of features extracted from two datasets maintained by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Mineral Resources Management (DMRM). The first polygon layer known as SurfMines_AMLIS was developed in 2006. The source of data for SurfMines_AMLIS was AMLIS Quad maps that were edited in 1980/81 as part of the initial AMLIS inventory. The paper quadrangles (quads) were utilized in aerial/terrestrial reconnaissance. Areas were demarcated as being affected by surface mining and the status of reclamation was noted. In 2006 the AMLIS Quads were scanned and digitized by the Ohio Penal Industries (OPI) producing the SurfMines_AMLIS polygon layer. The second polygon layer known as SurfMines_DRG was developed in 2008/2009. The source of data for SurfMines_DRG was current digital United States Geological Server (USGS) Quadrangles otherwise known as Digital Raster Graphic(s) (DRGs) downloaded from the Ohio Geographically Referenced Information Program (OGRIP) in 2008. Areas demarcated as being affected by surface mining were digitized by the Institute for Local Government Administration and Rural Development (ILGARD) at Ohio University producing the SurfMines_DRG polygon layer. Care was taken to reduce duplication of data contained in the new dataset. The first step was to isolate areas from each surface mine dataset that could have abandoned mine land problems and also be funded according to the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act (SMCRA). Since no one data source fits our needs the spatial boundaries of known C & D coal permits were used to remove polygons from the AMLIS and DRG datasets. The next step utilized the DMRM produced AMLIS dataset as a base, once the C & D permits were removed the AMLIS dataset was overlapped with the DRG dataset and a reverse selection was made from the DRG dataset. The end result was a layer that included all polygons from the AMLIS dataset that did not overlap with C & D permits and also all polygons from the DRG dataset that did not overlap with C & D permits or overlap with the AMLIS dataset.

Description: Represents the Primary Facility type Coal Mining Operation (CMO) point features. A Coal Mining Operation is a DEP primary facility type related to the Mining Program. The sub-facility types related to Coal Mining Operations that are included are: Deep Mine Underground mining of coal. Includes, but is not limited to, portal, tunnel, slope, and drift mines. Discharge Point Discharge of water from an area as a result of coal mining activities. Mineral Preparation Plant Facility at which coal is cleaned and processed. Post Mining Treatment Post-mining discharges are groundwater seeps and flows that occur after a mine has been completed and reclaimed. Many of these discharges have become contaminated by contacting acid producing rock in the mine environment. Untreated discharges that enter clean streams cause acidification, which immediately kills much of the aquatic life. Coal mines that are predicted to have discharges are not permitted; however, coal mining operators are required to treat post-mining discharges in cases where the predictions do not come true. Through advances in predictive science, less than 2 percent of the permits issued today result in a post-mining discharge. New technologies, including alkaline addition and special handling of acid producing material, are being studied in order to help address the remaining 2 percent. Refuse Disposal Facility An area used for disposal or storage of waste coal, rock, shale, slate, clay, and other coal mining related materials. Refuse Reprocessing Facility at which coal is extracted from waste coal, rock, shale, slate, clay, and other coal mining related material, i.e., coal refuse. Surface Mine Surface mining of coal by removing material which lies above the coal seam. Includes, but is not limited to, strip, auger, quarry, dredging, and leaching mines. A Coal Mining Operation is a DEP primary facility type related to the Mining Program. The sub-facility types related to Coal Mining Operations that are included in eMapPA are: Coal-Aboveground Storage Tank - aboveground tanks greater than 250 gallons used to store a regulated substance, motor oil or fuel on a coalmine permit. These tanks are regulated under the coal mining regulations since they are specifically exempted from the storage tank regulations. Discharge Point - Discharge of water from an area as a result of coal mining activities. Mineral Preparation Plant - Facility at which coal is cleaned and processed. Mining Stormwater GP - General permit for Stormwater discharges associated with coal mining activities in which the main pollutant is sediment.
