|
||
|
||
<h3>Protecting the Environment</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>The Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act (SMCRA) of 1977 balances the need to protect the environment from the adverse effects of surface coal mining with the Nation's need for coal as an essential energy source. SMCRA ensures that coal mining operations are conducted in an environmentally responsible manner and that the land is adequately reclaimed during and following the mining process.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Until a State or Tribe demonstrates the ability to manage a regulatory program that complies with all SMCRA requirements (<a href="http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2007-title30-vol1/content-detail.html">30 CFR Chapter VII</a>), OSMRE is the primary regulator of coal mining operations in the United States. </p>
|
||
|
||
<p>When a State or Indian Tribe submits and receives approval of its proposed regulatory program, it becomes the primary regulator within that State or reservation lands. In obtaining primacy, the State or Tribes assumes responsibility over permitting, inspection, and enforcement activities. OSMRE then provides oversight of the implementation of the regulatory program.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>OSMRE also partners with States and Indian Tribes to support regulatory programs with grant funding and technical assistance.</p>
