Abstract
OSM is approving an amendment to the Alabama regulatory program (Alabama program) under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). Alabama proposed revisions to the Alabama Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act (ASMCRA) concerning the repair or compensation for material damage to any occupied residential dwelling and related structures or any noncommercial building. The proposed revisions also concern the replacement of contaminated, diminished, or interrupted drinking, domestic or residential water supplies. The damage to the protected structures or water supplies has to have been caused by subsidence resulting from underground coal mining operations. Alabama proposed to revise its program at its own initiative.
