Reclamation permit application handbook. Final technical report
The objective of this handbook is to provide Appalachian surface coal mine operators with an explanation of the Office of Surface Mining's (OSM) permanent regulatory program permit application requirements. The format of the handbook is designed to give the reader an understanding of how the permit application regulations were developed, the number of subjects the application must cover, the work entailed in satisfying the permit requirements, and sources of information for more technical studies. Preparation of the handbook involved reviewing the OSM regulations and devising a hypothetical permit, incorporating information required by all the sections of the regulations. The outlines and drafts of the handbook were reviewed by mine operators, OSM, and State agencies for completeness, and to ensure that the maximum benefit would be derived by using such a handbook.
