Document Description
Close the entrances to eight abandoned mines in the Oregon Hill area within Auburn State Recreation Area in order to reduce safety hazards to park visitiors. Mines will be closed through repair or installation of barrier fencing, using polyurethane foam (PUF), or the use of culverts with grates to allow access to bats and other wildlife. Where the PUF barriers are installed, pipes will be inserted in PUF barriers to maintain wildlife access and soil will be placed on the top of the barriers os that the barriers blend in with the natural surroundings.
