16 Tex. Admin. Code § 12.355 - Hydrologic Balance: Stream Buffer Zones
(a) No land within 100 feet of a perennial
stream or an intermittent stream shall be disturbed by surface mining
activities, unless the Commission specifically authorizes surface mining
activities closer to, or through, such a stream. The Commission may authorize
such activities only upon finding that:
(1)
surface mining activities will not cause or contribute to the violation of
applicable state or federal water-quality standards, and will not adversely
affect the water quantity and quality or other environmental resources of the
stream; and
(2) if there will be a
temporary or permanent stream-channel diversion, it will comply with §
12.341 of this title (relating to
Hydrologic Balance: Diversions).
(b) The area not to be disturbed shall be
designated as a buffer zone, and the operator shall mark it as specified in
§
12.330 of this title (relating to
Signs and Markers).
