Abstract
We are announcing our approval with one exception of amendments to the West Virginia surface coal mining regulatory program (the West Virginia program) under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA or the Act). The amendments we are approving concern changes to the Code of State Regulations as contained in State House Bill 4163 and Senate Bill 2002, concerning contemporaneous reclamation of mine land.
