Restoration of land
Official statutory text
The operator shall restore the land affected to a condition
capable of supporting the uses which it was capable of supporting
prior to any mining, or higher or better uses of which there is
reasonable likelihood, so long as such use or uses do not present
any actual or probable hazard to public health or safety or of water
diminution or pollution. The permit applicant's declared proposed
land use following reclamation shall not be impractical or
unreasonable, inconsistent with applicable land use policies and
plans, involve unreasonable delay in implementation, or violate
federal, state or local law.
