• Abstract:
  The ODOT Abandoned Underground Mine Inventory and Risk Assessment process was conceived as a proactive response to the need to locate and assess the risk of all mapped or otherwise identified roadway sites beneath which abandoned underground mines exist. The scope of such an undertaking is extremely formidable. Hundreds of such roadway sites potentially exist in Ohio. Due to the large number of sites, it is not logistically or financially responsible to commit limited forces and funding to investigation and remediation of random sites. A cornerstone of this inventory and risk assessment process is the concept of "being as informed as possible" before ever committing limited resources to individual sites for detailed investigations and, if necessary, remediation. The sites that pose the greatest threat to public safety should be assessed as having the highest priority. The purpose of this manual is to provide a means of site inventory and risk assessment. English units of measurement are utilized in this manual since a large part of this process involves review of historic documents using English units. Detailed design work and construction documents which might be undertaken as a result of the site inventory and risk assessment process documented in this manual should be prepared in metric units or dual units of measurement. 7 Appendices. The document may be read as a series of PDF files linked from the table of contents or downloaded as a single PDF file.
