Minerals and Geology <br /> <br />General Information <br />The Division of Minerals and Geology provides for the development of Colorado's <br />mining industry while minimizing the impact to Colorado's environment and <br />ensuring that mined land is reclaimed. The program provides services to the mining <br />industry, private property owners, communities and the general public. It meets <br />the state's need for orderly development of mining operations and the protection of <br />the environment, future land use and land value. This is done through the review <br />of mining and reclamation plans, inspection of mine sites, enforcement, the <br />development and implementation of reclamation plans on inactive and abandoned <br />mine sites, and providing for health, safety and training of operators. <br /> <br />The Office of Mined Land Reclamation and the Mined Land Reclamation Board <br />(Board) enforce statutes designed to ensure that mining operations are conducted <br />in an environmentally sound manner and that affected lands can be returned to <br />beneficial use after mining operations. The seven-member Board includes five <br />private citizens appointed by the Governor and two state officials. The laws are <br />administered by the Office and Board. The Mined Land Reclamation Act applies to <br />all mines in the state except coal mines. Coal mines are subject to the Colorado <br />Surface Coal Mining Reclamation Act. <br /> <br />The Mined Land Reclamation Board promulgates rules and regulations and sets <br />standards for all mining and reclamation.
