Virginia Regulatory Program

This document corrects and explains an OSM decision on a provision of a proposed amendment submitted by the State of Virginia as a modification to its permanent regulatory program (hereinafter referred to as the Virginia program) under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). OSM published its decision on the provision in a September 17, 1997, final rule Federal Register document. The provision concerns an exemption from the requirement to conduct mitigation measures to prevent or lessen the impact of subsidence damage, when planned subsidence mining methods are used, when the structure owners deny the permittee access to implement the measures to minimize material damage.
