25 Pa. Code § 77.142 - Public notice of permit revision
(a)
A permit revision request is subject to the notice requirements of §
77.121 (relating to public notices
of filing of permit applications) under the following circumstances:
(1) For surface mining activities:
(i) Discharging to a different watershed or a
change in water treatment facility design which would result in a change in
effluent limits or additional discharge points.
(ii) The change of postmining land
use.
(iii) A change in the type of
reclamation (for example- approximate original contour, terrace, water
impoundment, the addition of reclamation fill or other alternative
reclamation).
(iv) A physical
change in the mine configuration. Physical changes include, but are not limited
to, stream diversion structures, new or expanded haul road connections to a
public highway, permit area additions, elimination of public highways and
increases in approved pit depth.
(v) The addition of blasting to the
operation.
(vi) The addition of
mineral processing to the mining activity.
(2) For underground mining activities:
(i) Discharging to a different watershed or a
change in water treatment facility design which would result in a change in
effluent limits or additional discharge points.
(ii) A physical change in the mine
configuration. Physical changes include, but are not limited to, stream
diversion structures, new or expanded haul road connections to a public
highway, permit area additions, elimination of public highways and new
openings.
(iii) A change to the
postmining land use.
(iv) The
addition of mineral processing to the mining
activity.
(b)
Initiation of new mining or support area is subject to public notice if the
plan includes a lateral or vertical change to the previously authorized permit
area. Incremental mining within the permit area, as described in the permit
application, is not subject to public notice.
(c) Deletion of area from within the permit
boundary, with the exception of final bond release area, does not require
public notice if the applicant can demonstrate that the area has not been
affected by surface mining. Areas affected only by exploration by drilling may
be deleted without public notice.
