Abstract
The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) is approving an amendment to the Missouri regulatory program (Missouri program) under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). Missouri proposed normal husbandry practices that the permittee may use without causing the Phase III liability period or the five-year responsibility period to be extended. The practices include applying pesticides and soil amendments; subsoiling; repairing rills and gullies; burning; overseeding; and planting and pruning trees. Missouri intends to revise its program to be consistent with the corresponding Federal regulations.
