The file 4-105D OverviewMap.pdf is a document related to a contract opportunity with Trout Unlimited (TU) for engineering design and permit services for abandoned mine land (AML) reclamation in Snow Shoe Township, Centre County, Pennsylvania. The project focuses on designing and permitting the reclamation of abandoned mine features, including high walls, spoils, pits, and underground mine entrances at specific coordinates (41.061927, -77.898399). The engineering services are being solicited to support an application to the Bureau of Abandoned Mine Reclamation (BAMR) AML/AMD Grant Program, with the eventual contract contingent upon receiving the grant award.

The project requires compliance with Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE) and BAMR design requirements, as well as meeting landowner goals. TU has already secured a Consent for Right of Entry form from the primary property owners and seeks engineering services to develop a comprehensive reclamation plan. While the primary focus is on reclamation within a single property, there is a preference for extending grading slightly onto an adjacent parcel to fully restore approximate pre-mining grades. TU will be responsible for obtaining additional landowner permissions, with the understanding that the project will proceed even if the neighboring landowner declines to participate. The solicitation is structured as a Request for Proposal (RFP) to select an engineering contractor to develop the detailed reclamation design and permit documentation.
