KRS 350.080: Procedure for obtaining approval of other mining operations -- Deferral of

reclamation.

A permittee may conduct other mining operations from premises covered by a strip

mining permit with approval of the cabinet, subject to the provisions of KRS Chapt ers

351 and 352. In applying to the cabinet for the approval, he shall furnish the cabinet with

a revised copy of the map of the area on which his permit was based on which he shall

designate other mining locations, the location of outside haulageways, and other parts of

the area necessary to the conduct of other mining operations. The cabinet may authorize

the permittee to defer the reclamation of the area covered by the operations during such

time as other bona fide mining operations are carried out. The bond covering that area

shall remain in effect until reclamation of it has been completed by the permittee under a

plan approved by the cabinet.
