25 Pa. Code § 89.7 - Applicability
(a) This chapter
sets forth requirements for conducting underground mining activities and coal
preparation activities.
(b) As
part of the application required by Chapter 86 (relating to surface and
underground coal mining: general), the operator shall describe the coal
preparation activities or underground mining activities by means of specific
plans identified in this chapter. These plans shall be developed using, at a
minimum, the information specified in this chapter and designed to meet the
performance standards of this chapter and the requirements of the acts. Plans
and information required by this chapter may be developed using modeling
techniques, but the Department may require verification of a model. The plans
shall be incorporated in the permit and implemented in accordance with the
permit.
(c) The application and the
supporting plans required by this section shall be submitted in a format
specified by the Department including, but not limited to, forms, maps, cross
sections and narrative descriptions.
(d) The development, design, implementation
and approval of these plans does not relieve the operator of the responsibility
to meet the performance standards of this chapter and the requirements of the
acts.
