Abstract
We are approving, with certain exceptions, an 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) pertaining to water replacement, subsidence, bonding, definitions, hydrology, and permits. Kentucky revised its program to be consistent with the corresponding Federal regulations.
