Abstract
OSM is approving a proposed amendment to the Missouri AML State Reclamation Plan (hereinafter referred to as the ``Missouri plan'') under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). Missouri proposed changes to its statutes, rules, and certain sections of the Missouri plan pertaining to contractor responsibility, exclusion of certain noncoal reclamation sites, reporting requirements, creation of a future reclamation set-aside program, and general reclamation requirements. The amendment is intended to revise the Missouri plan to be consistent and in compliance with the corresponding Federal standards, and to improve operational efficiency.
