Surface mining: Issues associated with Indian assumption of regulatory authority
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5926198
Several jurisdictional disputes are ongoing between the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement, Indian tribes, and state governments over who has the authority to regulate coal mining operations involving ''Indian lands'' outside the boundaries of the reservations. Disagreement over how to precisely define these lands and the significance of the state's historical regulatory presence on these lands is at the heart of the disputes. Attempts to resolve this issue through litigation have been unsuccessful.
