Mich. Admin. Code R. 425.44 - Stabilization of tailings basin
Rule 44.
(1) Where substantial natural vegetation is not expected within 5 years after abandonment, and where research reveals that vegetation can be accomplished within practical limitations, that portion of a tailings basin not covered by water shall be planted with a vegetative cover appropriate to a future use of the land and to prevent air and water erosion and pollution. Vegetation which has potential for providing a rapid, permanent, adequate, economical cover shall be given priority.
(2) Where vegetation reasonably cannot be accomplished within practical limitations, the tailings basin shall be stabilized by other treatment to prevent air and water erosion and pollution.
