~I~ ; PART 815 - PERMANENT PROGRAM PERFORMANCE STANDARDS-COAL EXPLORATION
Scope of the Section.
This Part sets forth performance standards and design requirements
required for coal exploration which substantially disturbs the
natural land surface. These performance standards and design
requirements are the minimum standards which shall be required of
such exploration, and such exploration may, at the discretion of
the regulatory authority, be further required to comply with the
applicable performance standards and design requirements of 30 CFR
816-828. Since the proposed coal exploration will effect the
natural land surface, as defined in 30 CFR 701.5, these performance
standards apply to this permit application and are discussed under
the following paragraphs, and under Parts 744 and 776.
