16 Tex. Admin. Code § 12.397 - Cessation of Operations: Temporary
(a)
Each person who conducts surface mining activities shall effectively secure
surface facilities in areas in which there are no current operations, but in
which operations are to be resumed under an approved permit. Temporary
abandonment shall not relieve a person of their obligation to comply with any
provisions of the approved permit.
(b) Before temporary cessation of mining and
reclamation operations for a period of thirty days or more, or as soon as it is
known that a temporary cessation will extend beyond 30 days, persons who
conduct surface mining activities shall submit to the Commission a notice of
intention to cease or abandon mining and reclamation operations. This notice
shall include a statement of the exact number of acres which will have been
affected in the permit area, prior to such temporary cessation, the extent and
kind of reclamation of those areas which will have been accomplished and
identification of the backfilling, regrading, revegetation, environmental
monitoring, and water treatment activities that will continue during the
temporary cessation.
