§ 1517.22.
The general assembly hereby finds that caves are uncommon geologic phenomena and that
the minerals deposited in them may be rare and occur in unique forms of great beauty
that are irreplaceable if destroyed. Also irreplaceable are the archeological resources in caves, which are of great
scientific and historic value. It is further found that species of cave life are unusual and of limited numbers;
that many are rare, threatened, or endangered species; and that caves are a natural
conduit for groundwater flow and are highly subject to water pollution, thus having
far-reaching effects transcending man's property boundaries. It is therefore declared to be the policy of the general assembly to protect these
unique and great natural, historical, scientific, and cultural resources.
