Okla. Stat. tit. 45, § 45-768: Reports of violations of act - Informal review -

Inspection procedure.

A. Any person who is or may be adversely affected by a surface

mining operation may notify the Chief Mine Inspector or any

representative of the Chief Mine Inspector responsible for

conducting the inspection, in writing, of any violation of this act

which he has reason to believe exists at the surface mining site. If

the person who is or may be adversely affected by surface mining

operations states in such writing that he desires the source of the

complaint or writing kept confidential, the Department shall

maintain such information in confidence. The Chief Mine Inspector

shall, by regulation, establish procedures for informal review of

any refusal by a representative of the Chief Mine Inspector to issue

a citation with respect to any such alleged violation. The Chief

Mine Inspector shall furnish such persons requesting the review a

written statement of the reasons for the Chief Mine Inspector's

final disposition of the case.

B. The Chief Mine Inspector shall also, by regulation,

establish procedures to ensure that adequate and complete

inspections are made. Any such person may notify the Chief Mine

Inspector of any failure to make such inspections, after which the

Chief Mine Inspector shall determine whether adequate and complete

inspections have been made. The Chief Mine Inspector shall furnish

such persons a written statement of the reasons for the Chief Mine

Inspector's determination that adequate and complete inspections

have or have not been conducted.
