The following individuals have been designated by the OEPA as District Office contact persons available for advising ODOT on all areas of environmental compliance about which ODOT must be concerned for individual mine remediation projects. The coordinating District engineer should contact the appropriate OEPA District contact person for each proposed mine remediation project. Please consult the provided state map indicating the geographic area of each OEPA district office. If remote placement of backfill materials in subsurface voids is the chosen form of remediation, the coordinating District engineer should also contact the OEPA, Underground Injecting Control (UIC) unit for permitting requirements.
(Note: In addition to these requirements, the coordinating engineer should also process all projects through the District Environmental Coordinator for clearance through the Department's environmental process as documented in ODOT's Transportation Development Process (and implementing manuals))
