TRAGUS Indiana Bat Survey for Mining Industry in Ohio

Indiana Bat Survey at Proposed Mine Site in Ohio

TRAGUS Indiana Bat Services - Mining Industry

Working closely with state and federal regulators, Tragus, Inc. completed the first Indiana bat study for a mine permit in the State of Ohio. The Daron-Consul Site is more that 1800-acres of rugged terrain including previously mined areas, reclaimed forests, meadows, lakes and streams. The study was planned and executed to comply with Policy Procedure Directive (PPD) 2004-01. This project was completed on time and within budget and helped facilitate an efficient permitting process.
