RE: Additions and deletions of acreage where no disturbance has occurred -Revision to
the policy adopted May 31, 1996
This Policy may be applied where an operator wants to add new acreage by deleting undisturbed acreage
from the permitted area.
Procedure:
. The following conditions must exist:
> The area to be deleted from the permitted area must not have been disturbed by the
existing mining operation or any previous operator where a succession of operators has
occurred.
> The existing reclamation plan, post mining land use, and financial warranty amount are
appropriate and adequate for the azea to be added.
> L` an exchange were to occur, the total new acreage must not exceed the amount deleted or
released.
The following process shall be followed:
> The operator shall submit a standard request for a reclamation liability release. The
release of the area to be deleted from the current permit area needs to occur prior to
amendment approval.
> The operator shall submit a completed amendment application form that includes a new
exhibit A, a new wildlife statement from the Division of Wildlife (if the area is greater than
]0 acres), a revised Exhibit G or N (Source of Legal Right to Enter) and revised mining and
reclamation plan maps, as appropriate. The normal amendment application fee will not be
required. However, the operator must submit the standard fee required for a technical
revision. The operator shall notice according to the standard notice requirements for a
permit amendment. If the Division receives an objection to the application, the operator
shall provide the remainder of the standard fee for a permit amendment within 15 calendar
days of the objection. If the required standard fee is not received by the specified date, the
Division may deny the application.
This policy is not applicable and can not be used as a method to correct an existing or potential
violation.
