* * * * *

(nnnn) By July 5, 2000, West Virginia

must submit either a proposed

amendment or a description of an

amendment to be proposed, together

with a timetable for adoption, to either

delete CSR 38–2–3.14 or revise CSR 38–

2–3.14 to clearly specify that its

provisions apply only to activities that

do not qualify as surface coal mining

operations as that term is defined in 30

CFR 700.5; i.e., that subsection 3.14

does not apply to either the removal of

abandoned coal mine waste piles that,

on average, meet the definition of coal

or to the on-site reprocessing of coal

mine waste piles. If the State chooses

the second option, it should also submit

the sampling protocol that will be used

to determine whether the refuse piles

meet the definition of coal. The

sampling protocol must be designed to

ensure that no activities meeting the

definition of surface coal mining

operations escape regulation under the

State’s SMCRA regulatory program.

(oooo) By July 5, 2000, West Virginia

must submit either a proposed

amendment or a description of an

amendment to be proposed, together

with a timetable for adoption, to remove

CSR 38–2–23.

(pppp) By July 5, 2000, West Virginia

must submit either a proposed

amendment or a description of an
