Iowa Code r. 27-50.80 - Entry for studies or exploration
(1) The division or its agents, employees, or
contractors, shall have the right to enter upon any property for the purpose of
conducting studies or exploratory work to determine the existence of adverse
effects of past coal mining practices and the feasibility of restoration,
reclamation, abatement, control, or prevention of such adverse
effects.
(2) If the owner of the
land to be entered under this section will not provide consent to entry, the
division shall give notice in writing to the owner of its intent to enter for
purposes of study and exploration to determine the existence of adverse effects
of past coal mining practices which may be harmful to the public health,
safety, or general welfare. The notice shall be by mail, return receipt
requested, to the owner, if known, and shall include a statement of the reasons
why entry is believed necessary. If the owner is not known, or the current
mailing address of the owner is not known, or the owner is not readily
available, the notice shall be posted in one or more places on the property to
be entered where it is readily visible to the public and advertised once in a
newspaper of general circulation in the locality in which the land is located.
Notice shall be given at least 30 days before entry.
