Draft Technical Guidance--Substantive Revision

   DEP ID: 563-2112-203 Title: Boundary Changes to Mining Permits. Description: This draft guidance substantially revises and renames technical guidance No. 563-2112-203: Insignificant Boundary Corrections for Surface Mining Activities (effective April 7, 1998). The former guidance pertained only to coal surface sites and described the Department's allowance for very small changes to boundaries of a permit area under specific conditions. Since the finalization of the previous guidance, the Department recognized the need to alter the guidance document to accommodate larger scope boundary changes in various types of permits, including both coal and noncoal mining permits. In addition to these changes, the document also includes procedures for the Department to follow to make reasonable changes to existing permits when boundaries are modified and clarifies provisions for public participation and outside agency review of boundary change requests. Written Comments: The Department is seeking comments on the substantive revisions to draft technical guidance No. 563-2112-203. Interested persons may submit written comments on this guidance document by September 15, 2008. Comments submitted by facsimile will not be accepted. The Department will accept comments submitted by e-mail. A return name and address must be included in each e-mail transmission. Written comments should be submitted to William Allen, Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Mining and Reclamation, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 5th Floor, P. O. Box 8461, Harrisburg, PA 17105-2454, wallen@state.pa.us. Contact: Questions regarding the draft technical guidance document should be directed to Willian Allen at (717) 783-9580, or wallen@state.pa.us.
