Latest version.
- (a) This Subchapter establishes the procedures for determining those non-coal surface mining and reclamation operations which are exempt from 45 O.S. (1981), Section 721 et seq., and this Chapter because the extraction of non-coal minerals is an incidental part of Federal, State, or local government-financed highway or other construction.(b) This Subchapter exempts the extraction of non-coal minerals which is incidental to government-financed construction from the requirements of 45 O.S. (1981), Section 721 et seq., and this Chapter, if that extraction meets specified criteria which ensures that the construction is government-financed and that the extraction of non-coal Minerals is incidental to it.
