Maryland Abandoned Mine Lands Reclamation Plan

OSM is announcing the receipt of additional materials pertaining to a previously proposed amendment to the Maryland Abandoned Mine Lands (AML) Reclamation Plan (hereinafter referred to as the Maryland Plan) under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). Maryland submitted House Bill 1522 which revises section 7-906(b) of the Natural Resources Article, Subtitle 9, of the Annotated Code of Maryland to reflect extended eligibility dates for the reclamation of mine sites. Maryland also revised its Plan to specify that eligible interim program sites are those on which mining ended on or before the Secretary of the Interior's approval of Maryland's regulatory program.
