Document:
The State of Oklahoma environmental requirements with respect to Non-Coal (Industrial Minerals) Mining are found under more than one regulatory agency. The air and water issues are regulated by agencies other than the Oklahoma Department of Mines (ODOM). The Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) regulates, through permitting and inspection, the Storm Water Run Off Program, Point Source and Non-Point Source water discharges through the Oklahoma Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (OPDES) permitting activity. The ODEQ also regulates fugitive dust from mine sites through the Air Quality Program. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, along with the ODEQ, issues permits to allow non-coal mining in rivers and streams of the State to ensure compliance with Section 404 of the “Clean Water Act” and Section 401 of the Federal “Pollution Control Act.” The Oklahoma Water Resources Board has designated within the Oklahoma Water Quality Standards those waters that are Outstanding Resource waters, High Quality waters, or Scenic river areas. The ODM has specific permitting requirements for these areas. If your operation falls within any of these defined water resources you must file additional information for protection of this resource with ODM. Each respective agency has specific jurisdictional boundaries. There is no overlap or duplicate enforcement, and these environmental regulations are concurrent with each other. In these guidelines, the permitting responsibility of the Department of Mines will be outlined.
Specific statutory requirements for permitting of non-coal mining operations are found in 45 O.S. 1991 §721 through 728 (Chap. 8A) “The Mining Lands Reclamation Act”. Non-Coal Rules and Regulations, OAC 460: 10 § 1 through 31 covers the permitting process, bonds and blasting plan.
