ODNR Meeting to Address Abandoned Mine Projects
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The Ohio Department of Natural Resources will hold open houses to discuss proposed abandoned mine land projects throughout Ohio. The meeting for the counties of Mahoning, Columbiana, Jefferson and Stark will take place Oct. 20 in Salem.
Department staff will be available to discuss and answer questions about Ohio mines that were abandoned prior to 1977, when legislation addressing the reclamation of these mine lands went into effect. Representatives will highlight the policies and procedures of Ohio’s Abandoned Mine Land Program and present a list of proposed projects.
Residents are invited to attend these meetings to assist in identifying and prioritizing projects for completion. Landowners are encouraged to present details regarding abandoned mines located on their property to discuss potential funding.
The open house will be held at 3601 Newgarden Road, Salem, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. For more information, call 330 222 1527.
