25 Pa. Code § 288.127 - Mineral deposits information
(a) If the proposed permit area and adjacent
area overlie existing workings of an underground mine, the applicant shall
submit sufficient information to evaluate the potential for mine subsidence
damage to the facility, including the following:
(1) Maps and plans showing previous mining
operations underlying the proposed facility.
(2) An investigation, with supporting
documentation, by a registered professional engineer with geotechnical
expertise addressing the probability and potential impacts of future
subsidence. The investigation shall address the potential for additional mining
beneath the permit and adjacent area, the stability of the final underground
workings, the maximum subsidence likely to occur in the future and the effect
of that subsidence on the integrity of the facility, and any measures which
have been or will be taken to stabilize the surface.
(b) If the proposed permit area and adjacent
area overlies recoverable or mineable coals, the applicant shall demonstrate
that the applicant owns the coal and shall warrant that the coal will not be
mined as long as residual waste remains on the site, except for surface mining
activities approved in the permit for purposes of facility
construction.
