Abstract
We, the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM), are approving proposed amendments to the West Virginia regulatory program (the "West Virginia program") authorized under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA or the Act). The amendments consist of the State's responses to several required program amendments codified in the Federal regulations at 30 CFR 948.16. The amendments are intended to revise the West Virginia program to be consistent with the corresponding Federal regulations and SMCRA.
