Title: Temporary Cessation of Operations | |
Abstract: OSMRE intends to revise its regulations governing the temporary cessation of surface coal mining and reclamation operations and underground mining activities under an approved permit. The proposed rule would require that before temporarily ceasing operations for a period of more than 180 days, a permittee submit an application to the regulatory authority for approval. The rule is needed to ensure that a temporary cessation of operations is not used to delay reclamation, that safety and environmental controls are in place, and that there is an end point to the cessation of operation. | |
