The Department of Environmental Protection published notice of changes in mining contract operator approval requirements and on validating abandoned underground mine maps. Draft: DEP ID: 562-2000-705. Mining Contract Operator Approval. This Technical Guidance Document addresses contract operator approvals for coal and industrial mineral mining permits, describing the methods to be utilized by the Bureau of Mining and Reclamation for evaluating and tracking contract operators.

The purpose of this guidance is to improve mine safety and underground mine permitting by establishing methods and procedures to be used: (1) when assembling, presenting and evaluating information establishing boundary lines of adjacent underground mines located near active underground mines; (2) to ensure complete and well documented mine maps; (3) to promote modern and consistent mine surveying techniques; (4) to ensure that adequate safety barrier pillars are properly delineated and maintained; and (5) to minimize potential for accidental breakthroughs into adjacent underground mine workings by facilitating coordination between mine safety and environmental permitting staff.
