This is a project plan document for the Commonwealth of Virginia's Mines Road Portals Project, detailing the reclamation and remediation specifications for abandoned mine features. The project involves the reclamation of one small abandoned mine portal and one vertical opening located near 6196 Mines Road, Pulaski, Pulaski County, Virginia. The scope of work encompasses the safe closure and stabilization of these mining features to prevent hazards and environmental contamination. The document establishes technical requirements, site conditions, and performance standards that contractors must meet during the reclamation process, including provisions for proper backfilling, sealing, and monitoring to ensure long-term stability of the remediated sites.

The project specifications address safety requirements, environmental protection measures, and quality assurance standards necessary to bring abandoned mine features into compliance with Virginia's reclamation regulations. The plan includes detailed engineering requirements for materials, construction methods, and inspection procedures. All work must be performed in accordance with applicable Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy guidelines and state environmental regulations. The document serves as the technical foundation for contractor bidding and performance evaluation, ensuring that reclamation activities meet established state standards for abandoned mine remediation and eliminate public safety risks associated with the uncontrolled mine openings.
