Columbia requests authorization to construct and operate facilities in Vinton, Jackson, Gallia, and Lawrence Counties, Ohio and Wayne County, West Virginia. The Buckeye XPress Project would increase the firm natural gas transportation capacity on Columbia’s system by 275 million cubic feet per day. The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the Buckeye XPress Project in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that approval of the proposed project, with appropriate mitigating measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Forest Service participated as cooperating agencies in the preparation of the EA. Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to resources potentially affected by the proposal and participate in the NEPA analysis.

  • Ohio Department of Natural Resources - Division of Mineral Resources Management 1 Summary of AMD Treatment
    Treatment of Acid Mine Drainage in Huff Run, Sunday, Monday, Leading and Raccoon Creek Watersheds, Ohio Ben McCament Abandoned Mine Land Program, ODNR Division of Mineral Resources Management March 21st, 2018 Background The first reported production of coal in Ohio was in 1800, three years prior to Ohio’s entrance as the 17th state. By 1806 there reports of coal mining in 3 counties in the state (Crowell, 1995). Early coal production was minimal during the early 1800’s and it wasn’t until the mid-1800’s that mining began booming. Peak mining occurred in 1918, employing a work force of more than 50,000 (Crowel, 1995). Most of this mining was utilizing underground methods until the mid-1900’s when surface mining became the dominant method. By the time Ohio passed the Ohio Strip Mine Law in 1972 and the Surface Mine Control and Reclamation Act (SMCRA) passed in 1977 there had been a century and a half of coal mining with no or little environmental regulations. Most coal mining occurred in the 26 counties in the southeast and eastern part of the state, in the Appalachian foothills. Many streams and entire watersheds were severely impaired by acid mine drainage (AMD) from abandoned mines. In the mid 1990’s ODNR began a program to address AMD from abandoned mines and attempted to restore impacted watersheds. Acid Mine Drainage Abatement and Treatment (AMDAT) plans were developed and provided access to Abandoned Mine Land (AML) funds through the AMD Set-aside program. These funds can also leverage other local, state and federal grant funds for treatment and abatement projects.

  • Monday Creek Ecosystem Restoration Feasibility Study1
    Proceedings America Society of Mining and Reclamation, 2004 MONDAY CREEK ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION FEASIBILITY STUDY1 Mark D. Kessinger2 Abstract. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in partnership with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Mines and Reclamation, is conducting a Feasibility Study to evaluate the applicability and feasibility of various restoration solutions to the overall degradation of the ecosystem of the Monday Creek Watershed. The watershed encompasses 116 square miles (74,240 acres) of Perry, Athens and Hocking Counties, Ohio. Extensive portions of the watershed have been subjected to underground and surface mining since the mid- 1800s and a number of stream reaches are sterile and unable to support diverse, aquatic life due to acid mine drainage (AMD). In addition to the Corps and the ODNR, seven other federal, state and local agencies are actively involved in the project. West Virginia is one of the agencies and its primary role was to develop and use a computer model called the Total Acid Mine Drainage Loading (TAMDL) model simulate the evolution of stream water quality affected by acid mine drainage. The objectives of this paper are to describe the Corps’ processes for addressing AMD projects, to presents the results of the model study, and to explain how the stakeholders have worked together to develop a comprehensive plan to address the problems in the Monday Creek Watershed. 1 Paper was presented at the 2004 National Meeting of the American Society of Mining and Reclamation and the 25th West Virginia Surface Mine Drainage Task Force, April 18-24, 2004.

Ogles Interim Dean, College of Arts and Sciences SPERTZEL, STACI E. M.S. August 2005. Environmental Archaeology Late Woodland Hunting Patterns: Evidence from Facing Monday Creek Rockshelter (33HO414), Southeastern Ohio (122pp.) Director of Thesis: Elliot Abrams Intensified use of southeastern Ohio rockshelter environments during the Late Woodland period is significant to upland resource procurement strategies. Facing Monday Creek Rockshelter (33HO414) of Hocking County serves as one illustration of faunal exploitation and lithic procurement patterns associated with Late Woodland logistical organization. The cultural materials recovered during excavation are analyzed with a purpose of understanding the use of rockshelters as specialized task localities. Results of analyses are synthesized with comparative research to delineate broad cultural patterns associated with rockshelter utilization. A pattern includes intermittent seasonal exploitation by small hunting parties or task groups in search of target resources at a known location. It is hypothesized that during the Late Woodland period, aggregation to larger residential settlements within the broad alluvial valleys would have resulted in an increase in those distances traveled to upland settings initiating a functional attribute for rockshelters as temporary hunting stations.
