Ohio started issuing coal mining licenses in the 1940s. The earliest license and permit requirements were minimal and sometimes did not include submittal of a map or other delineation of the mined area. Significant changes to legal requirements are reflected by the alphabetical designation of each subsequent law revision, i.e., earlier A-law permits (circa 1966) through contemporary D-law permits. The ODNR-Division of Mineral Resources Management (DMRM) has attempted to create as complete a database as possible from available archive records, however, research has identified missing permit files. Thus, this GIS data is known to be incomplete due to the loss of archival records.

The B law permit maps were scanned at a density of 200 dots per inch (dpi). The scanned image was then heads-up digitized using Microstation computer aided design software (CAD) to create design files grouped by county location. Data captured within the design file includes permit boundary, affected boundary, test hole locations, and associated attributes.

Abstract:This image database is comprised of digital orthophotography that was flown in June and July of 2005. The orthos have been registered to the terrain at National Map Accuracy standards. The images are stored in tif format. This database calls the path of this imagery and displays it according to the parameters of XMIN, YMIN, XMAX and YMAX. The following specs were used for this ortho flight: Flown: 2005 June and July Flight Height: 9600 feet Focal Length: 12" Pixel Size: 1/2 ft Terrain Model: Pierce County Lidar The construction of the images required the mosaicking of photo images using OrthoVista software which also corrected for color balancing. The image database has been licensed to the County by Mapcon Mapping (or OSI Geomatics). The license agreement only allows certain organizations to directly access the data. Any of the data can be produced in paper copy and distributed to the public. Digital copies of the data are not permitted. Users should note the scale of photography (1:800) and use the data appropriately. Please also note that the orthos have a better horizontal accuracy than some of the current GIS data in County View. The vertical datum for this data is North American Vertical Datum of 1988. If you are using NAD 29 as your vertical datum the elevations are going to be 3.5 feet too high and you will need to lower the elevation by 3.5ftPurpose:The orthophoto imagery serves as a basemap to inform decisions county-wide. The data is not owned by Pierce County and should be acquired from the vendor whose information can be found in the Use Limitation section of this metadata documentation.Supplemental Information:Procedures_Used In 2005 the color photography was captured using a 12" focal length. The photography was flown at an altitude of 9600 feet above mean terrain. Revisions There will be updates to the entire photo area every three years. Reviews_Applied_to_Data The photographic quality of the data is reviewed as deliveries are made. Even with the low flying heights for the photos, some features will be obscured by trees, tree lean, shadow, and building lean. Related_Spatial_and_Tabular_Data_Sets The 2005 Orthophoto Area theme, a polygon-based ArcView shapefile found in CountyView, shows the areas in which there are orthophotos. As additional deliveries of orthophotos arrive, this shapefile will be updated. References_Cited MAPCON MAPPING (OR OSI GEOMATICS), Photos flown between 6/20 - 7/28/2005. Notes The Orthophotos are stored in tiff and Mr Sid formats. The Assessor-Treasurer has requested that the tax parcel data that has been registered to Orthophotography be used to over-lay over the Orthophotos due to horizontal accuracy issues. The 2005 Orthos are now loaded in SDE. The layer is "Orthophotos.DBO.Msc_Cnty_2005" and can be accessed like any other layer in the SDE Orthophotos database. There is an area around Longbranch that is damaged, however, and so will appear as whitespace of different sizes depending on the zoom level. Per the experts at ESRI, the only way to repair this is a reload--which I will start doing immediately. This should take approximately a week based on how long the last one required. In the mean time, except for the small damaged area, the rest should be usable in its present form. It has also been noticed that an area over large parts of Tacoma that do not display when the scale is between 1:855 and 1:1733. There are probably other areas that have similarly damaged pyramids that we haven't found yet. In other words, use at your own risk. Making them available to everyone in the County is not recommended at this point.

Download .zipThe B Law Coal Permit Maps county coverage sets were developed using the original mine maps for coal mining and reclamation permits issued under Ohio law from 1973 through 1976. Approximately 1285 B-Permits were issued during this time period, however, only approximately 414 records could be located and captured at this time. The Division of Mineral Resources Management will continue to search for missing B permit archival records as resources allow; additional B permit data may be added to this existing coverage in the future.

Ohio started issuing coal mining licenses in the 1940s. The earliest license and permit requirements were minimal and sometimes did not include submittal of a map or other delineation of the mined area. Significant changes to legal requirements are reflected by the alphabetical designation of each subsequent law revision, i.e., earlier A-law permits (circa 1966) through contemporary D-law permits. The ODNR-Division of Mineral Resources Management (DMRM) has attempted to create as complete a database as possible from available archive records, however, research has identified missing permit files. Thus, this GIS data is known to be incomplete due to the loss of archival records.

The B law permit maps were scanned at a density of 200 dots per inch (dpi). The scanned image was then heads-up digitized using Microstation computer aided design software (CAD) to create design files grouped by county location. Data captured within the design file includes permit boundary, affected boundary, test hole locations, and associated attributes. The design file was then "placed-to-ground" using ODNR Division of Geological Survey's "ODNR Land Subdivision Background Design Files" NAD83 State Plane coverages and DOQQ aerial images obtained through the Ohio Geographically Referenced Information Program (OGRIP)/Ohio Department of Administrative Services. The design file was then converted to ARC/INFO coverage and projected to State Plane Ohio Coordinates, NAD83:

Projected coordinate system name: NAD_1983_StatePlane_Ohio_South_FIPS_3402_Feet

Geographic coordinate system name: GCS_North_American_1983

A complete county coverage set consists of three data files for the permit area, affected area, and test hole locations. For example, the coverage for Belmont County includes:

belmont_b_permitted (Belmont County, B-permit area polygons) belmont_b _affected (Belmont County, B-permit affected area polygons) belmont_testholes_b (Belmont County, Test Hole points)

In addition to the ArcView shape files in the county data sets, the scanned TIF images for source documents are available at DMRM. The scanned mine map depicts information about the operations conducted, environmental resources, and extracted coal resources. If more detailed information is desired, the available archival record for each captured permit can be accessed at either the State Archives at the Ohio Historical Society or the ODNR-DMRM central office.Contact Information:GIS Support, ODNR GIS ServicesOhio Department of Natural ResourcesDivision of Mineral Resources ManagementAbandoned Mine Land Program2045 Morse Rd, Bldg I-2Columbus, OH, 43229Telephone: 614-265-6462Email: gis.support@dnr.ohio.gov
