§ 24.18.030. Maps.

Mine workings are identified in the Washington State Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geology and Earth Resources, Open File Report 94-7 "The Washington State Coal Mine Map Collection: A Catalog, Index, and User's Guide," Open File Report 84-6 "Inventory of Abandoned Coal Mines in the State of Washington," and specific maps and surveys of mine workings on file with the Department of Natural Resources. General areas of coal mines have been delineated on maps provided by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources. These maps relied on annual reports submitted by mining companies since about 1900. Mines abandoned prior to 1900, and some small and unregistered mines are not documented in filed reports. Maps note broad areas suspected of posing coal-mine hazards and may not show individual mines. Because the lack of a full historic record for coal mines leaves uncertainties on the location of all coal mine hazards, Thurston County cannot guarantee that all coal mine hazard areas are noted on maps. This chapter is not a guarantee against damage or injury due to coal mine hazards.
