<br />". <br /> <br />This mission is accomplished through a cooperative and coordinated effort .. <br />between the federal government, local government, the mining industry, and the ., <br />Mine Safety and Training Program. <br /> <br />Document Access Requirements <br /> <br />Phase I <br />The first imaging need the division will address is the storage and retrieval <br />requirements of the IMP. The Inactive Mine Program has approximately 225,000 <br />images to deal with in this phase. The files to be imaged include construction <br />project files from 1981 through 1994 (Construction grants 1 - 11). The page sizes <br />of the source documents vary. Most are legal or letter size. Some are as large as <br />11" x 17". There are also some source documents which are small and irregular- ' <br />sized. The source documents are on a variety of paper types, and some are <br />"negatives" . <br /> <br />The images will be indexed by project name and number. Access to this material is <br />limited, and software for one stand-alone terminal only will be required. The <br />Program may in the future wish to upgrade to a system that has the ability to run <br />on several networked terminals. Given staffing levels, the IMP plans to handle <br />document preparation in-house, but will use the State of Colorado Microfilm Center <br />to handle' its imaging needs. <br /> <br />It will be necessary to integrate the Phase I system with what is undertaken in <br />Phase II. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />\ <br /> <br />Phase II <br />Phase II will cover the imaging needs of the Minerals and Coal Programs. These <br />needs are much more complicated than those covered by Phase I. Present <br />estimates are approximately 1900 minerals permits totalling 700,000 images. <br />Approximately 14,000 of these are maps larger than 11" x 17". Estimates put the <br />total of the 60 coal permits at 1,500,000 images and 2700 oversized maps. The <br />source documents vary in size from letter-sized documents to 24" x 36" maps. <br />The source files also include small and irregular-sized documents and photographs. <br /> <br />Imaging for the Coal and Minerals programs will involve a careful evaluation of the <br />work flow of all the process accomplished by the programs: permitting, inspection, <br />enforcement, bond release and administrative actions related to the Mined Land <br />Reclamation Board and OSMRE. After the processes are re-engineered, staff will <br />determine whether the application of imaging technology would be cost-effective <br />and beneficial to managing work flow. A current, brief review of imaging needs <br />suggests a system that: <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />72 <br />
