<h3>Restoring the Environment</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>Coal mining has been common in the United States for nearly two centuries. Prior to the passage of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act (SMCRA) of 1977, there was no regulatory oversight of coal operators or what happened to mines after mining stopped. As a result, millions of Americans live less than a mile from an abandoned coal mine. </p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Abandoned Mine Land Program</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>The OSMRE Abandoned Mine Land (AML) Reclamation Program addresses the hazards and environmental degradation posed by legacy coal mines. While AMLs can be dangerous and unwelcoming, through reclamation, this land can find a new purpose.</p>

From 2008 to 2012 surface mines paid 31.5 cents per ton, underground mines paid 13.5 cents per ton, and lignite mines paid 9 cents per ton. From 2013 to 2021 surface mines paid 28 cents per ton, underground mines paid 12 cents per ton, and lignite mines paid 8 cents per ton. And from 2022 to 2034 surface mines are paying 22.4 cents per ton, underground mines are paying 9.6 cents per ton, and lignite mines are paying 6.4 cents per ton.

|
||
<p>Title IV of SMCRA created the AML Reclamation Program which has been funded by a fee assessed on each ton of coal produced since August 3, 1977. As originally enacted, SMCRA authorized collection of the fee for 15 years. To sustain the program, Congress has amended SMCRA to change the structure of the fee three times and reauthorize fee collection eight times since its inception. Most recently, this was done in 2021 under the authority of Public Law No. 117-58 which adjusted the fee structure and extended OSMRE's fee collection authority through September 30, 2034.</p>
