Ill. Admin. Code tit. 62, § 1783.12 - General Environmental Resources Information
Each application shall describe and identify:
a) The lands subject to surface coal mining
operations over the estimated life of those operations and the size, sequence,
and timing of the subareas for which it is anticipated that individual permits
for mining will be sought; and the nature of cultural, archeological and
historic resources listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of
Historic Places in accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act of
1966, as amended, (
16 U.S.C.
470 et seq.) and known archaeological sites
within the proposed permit, shadow and adjacent areas. The description shall be
based on all available information, including, but not limited to, data of
State and local archaeological, historic, and cultural preservation
agencies.
b) If the information
provided pursuant to subsection (a) is not adequate to enable the Department to
make the finding required in 62 Ill. Adm. Code
1773.15(c)(12)
because information available to the
Department indicates a substantial likelihood of currently unknown resources
which would be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places within the
proposed permit, shadow, or adjacent areas, the Department shall require the
applicant to submit additional information to enable the Department to identify
and evaluate such resources. Indications of cultural, archeological and
historical resources shall be based upon such factors including, but not
limited to, topographic and physiographic characteristics, and other cultural,
archeological, and historical resource data for the proposed permit, shadow,
and adjacent areas. An applicant shall be required to conduct field
investigations under this subsection as determined necessary by the Department
in consultation with the Illinois State Historic Preservation Agency, if such
field investigations will provide the information required by subsection (a). A
field investigation is a pedestrian archeological survey supplemented by shovel
testing, where appropriate.
