Interactive
Maps- DSMRE Internet mapping applications allow users to view and query
permits, water monitoring points, and areas of underground mining. No special
software is required. Basic tools for navigation, query, buffering, and map
printing are available at each site.
2.
Downloadable Maps-
Mining and reclamation plan maps, permit boundary overlay maps, and underground
mine engineering drawings have been scanned and georeferenced
and are available for downloading via FTP from the Internet.
3.
Spatial Data-
Download DSMRE spatial databases for permit locations,
permit boundaries, water monitoring wells and mine shafts.
