Mining Oversight & Public Safety

What should residents and first responders be able to learn and report about abandoned mines?

The report finds the County lacked a current shared inventory and public reporting or mitigation guidance, and recommends an internal database plus a public process for reporting locations and finding hazard resources.

Why this matters

Accessible information can improve emergency response, development review, property disclosure, and prevention around shafts and other legacy mining hazards.
