Abstract
We are approving, with the exception of one provision, a proposed amendment to the Kentucky regulatory program (the "Kentucky program") under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA or the Act). Kentucky proposed revisions to the Kentucky Administrative Regulations (KAR) at 8/16/18:001 definitions of "impounding structure, "impoundment," and "other treatment facilities;" at 16/18:090 sections 1 through 5; at 16/18:100; and at 16/18:160 pertaining to sedimentation ponds and impoundments. Kentucky revised its program to be consistent with the corresponding Federal regulations.
