ABANDONED MINE RECLAMATION


Availability of Draft OSM Title IV Program
Reclamation Plan Amendment No. 2

   The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), Bureau of Abandoned Mine Reclamation, is proposing to amend Pennsylvania's Abandoned Mine Reclamation Plan, under the provisions of the Federal Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977, P. L. 95-87, as amended. Amendment No. 2 updates the Reclamation Plan originally approved in 1982, Amendment No. 1 to that Plan approved October 30, 1992, and incorporates the following new Title IV Abandoned Mine Lands initiatives. The purpose of this Plan Amendment is to allow the Commonwealth more flexibility to achieve reclamation of AML lands through contracts with private individuals, construction contractors, coal companies and municipalities. Presently where coal is removed as part of a Government financed reclamation contract, at least 50% of the cost of the project must be from Government sources. The proposed amendment would allow projects to be undertaken without regard to the 50% requirement. In addition, this amendment is to allow the Commonwealth to enter into agreements with coal mine operators to direct the placement of excess spoil off permit to achieve reclamation of adjacent AML lands that otherwise may go unreclaimed.

   The draft Abandoned Mine Reclamation Plan Amendment No. 2 is available for public review and comment. To be considered, comments must be submitted to and received by the Bureau of Abandoned Mine Reclamation, Department of Environmental Protection, P. O. Box 8476, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8476 within 30 days of the date of this Bulletin. A copy of the Abandoned Mine Reclamation Plan Amendment may be obtained by contacting the following DEP offices:
