§ 137b.73c. Small noncoal surface mining.
(a) The owner of property subject to preferential assessment may lease or otherwise devote land subject to preferential assessment to small noncoal surface mining as provided for under the Noncoal Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act.
(b) Roll-back taxes shall be imposed upon those portions of land leased or otherwise devoted to small noncoal surface mining and the fair market value of those portions of the land shall be adjusted accordingly. Roll-back taxes on those portions of the land do not invalidate the preferential assessment of the land which is not leased or devoted to small noncoal surface mining and the land shall continue to be eligible for preferential assessment if it continues to meet the requirements of section 3 of the act (72 P. S. § 5490.3).
(c) Only one small noncoal surface mining permit may be active at any time on land subject to a single application for preferential assessment.
(d) Land that is no longer actively mined may be re-enrolled if the land is reclaimed and it continues to meet the requirements of section 3 of the act.
