§ 88.501. Scope.
(a) This subchapter specifies procedures and rules applicable to those who seek authorization to conduct surface mining and anthracite bank removal and reclamation activities on certain areas which have been previously affected by mining activities and where mining has resulted in continuing water pollution, and describes the terms and conditions under which the Department may release bonds to persons who have received the authorization. Receipt of the authorization entitles an operator to later request bond release for areas which continue to discharge pollutional material.
(b) Chapter 86 (relating to surface and underground coal mining: general) and Subchapters A—C apply to authorizations to mine areas with preexisting pollutional discharges except as specifically modified by this subchapter.
