West Virginia Regulatory Program

We, the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE), are approving an amendment to the West Virginia regulatory program (the West Virginia program) under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA or the Act). This amendment revises West Virginia's regulatory program provisions related to entities authorized to issue surety bonds and the repair and compensation of damage resulting from subsidence.
