Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) It is
			 the policy of this State to provide for the conservation and reclamation of
			 lands and water affected by mining which have been abandoned, in order to
			 restore these abandoned lands and waters to such productive use, in accordance
			 with this State's conservation and land reclamation policies, as will aid in
			 maintaining or improving the property tax base, protect the health, safety and
			 general welfare of the people, promote the natural beauty and aesthetic values
			 of this State and enhance the environment, and correct and prevent soil
			 erosion, stream pollution, water, air and land pollution, and other injurious
			 effects to persons, property, wildlife and natural resources. [20 ILCS
			 1920/1.02 ] The goal of the State reclamation program
			 described in this Part is to alleviate adverse environmental effects of
			 abandoned mines and, whenever possible, to improve those abandoned lands to
			 support a suitable land use.
b) It
			 is the expressed intent of the General Assembly that the Department, in
			 implementing these policies, administer the reclamation program in a way which
			 satisfies the requirements of the Federal Act. Accordingly, the provisions of
			 this Part shall be construed, if possible, in a manner which is consistent with
			 the requirements of the Federal Act and the regulations promulgated
			 thereunder.
c) Expenditures of
			 money on abandoned coal mined lands for the purposes of the reclamation program
			 shall reflect the following priorities in the order stated:
1) The protection of public health, safety,
			 general welfare, and property from extreme danger of adverse effects of coal
			 mining practices;
2) The protection
			 of public health, safety, and general welfare from adverse effects of coal
			 mining practices;
3) The
			 restoration of land and water resources and the environment previously degraded
			 by adverse effects of coal mining practices including measures for the
			 conservation and development of soil, water (excluding channelization),
			 woodland, fish and wildlife, recreation resources, and agricultural
			 productivity;
4) The protection,
			 repair, replacement, construction, or enhancement of public facilities such as
			 utilities, roads, recreation, and conservation facilities adversely affected by
			 coal mining practices;
5) The
			 development of publicly owned land adversely affected by coal mining practices
			 including land acquired as provided in the Federal Act for recreation and
			 historic purposes, conservation, and reclamation purposes and open space
			 benefits. [20 ILCS
			 1920/2.03(a) ]
