Louisiana Regulatory Program

The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) is announcing receipt of a proposed amendment to the Louisiana regulatory program (Louisiana program) under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA or the Act). Louisiana proposes additions of regulations concerning revegetation success standards for post-mining land uses of pastureland and wildlife habitat. Louisiana also proposes to add to its program a policy document that describes the criteria and procedures for determining reclamation phase III ground cover and stocking success for areas developed for wildlife habitat. Louisiana intends to revise its program to be consistent with the corresponding Federal regulations. This document gives the times and locations that the Louisiana program and the proposed amendment to that program are available for your inspection, the comment period during which you may submit written comments on the amendment, and the procedures that we will follow for the public hearing, if one is requested.
