Wash. Admin. Code § 332-18-01002 - Land use approval and regulation of operations
(1) For
reclamation permits issued after July 1, 1994, approval of mining and
of the subsequent use of the mine site shall be verified with a Form
SM-6; except that such approval may not be required for mines on
state or federal lands. The Form SM-6 must be signed by a responsible
official from the appropriate city, town, or county.
(2) The department will not accept
a Form SM-6 that obligates the department to regulate any "operation"
except as necessary to assure timely reclamation.
(3) Conditions on any state surface
mine operating permit issued prior to July 1, 1993, that cause the
department to regulate "operations," that are not directly related to
reclamation are invalid, except those conditions that were properly
adopted pursuant to the department's SEPA substantive
authority.
(4) After July
1, 1995, the department will attempt to notify the appropriate local
government or state agency of surface mines affected by subsection
(3) of this section.
