West Virginia Permanent Regulatory Program
OSM is reopening the public comment period on part of a proposed amendment to the West Virginia permanent regulatory program (hereinafter referred to as the West Virginia program) under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). The amendment was submitted on April 28, 1997 (with revisions submitted on May 14, 1997) and amends both the West Virginia Surface Mining Reclamation Regulations and the West Virginia Surface Mining Code. The comment period is being reopened specifically on an amendment to allow fish and wildlife habitat and recreation lands as a postmining land use for mountaintop removal operations. The amendment is intended to improve the effectiveness of the West Virginia program.
