+description: "The Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of 1975, with exceptions, prohibits a person from conducting a surface mining operation unless, among other things, a reclamation plan has been submitted to and approved by the lead agency for the operation. The act requires an operator, within 90 days of a surface mining operation becoming idle, to submit to the lead agency for review and approval, an interim management plan. The act defines idle to mean a curtailment for a period of one year or more of surface mining operations by more than 90% of the operation's previous maximum annual mineral production, with the intent to resume those surface mining operations at a future date."

+# California SB 108 (20112012) — Surface mining: idle mines.
+
+The Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of 1975, with exceptions, prohibits a person from conducting a surface mining operation unless, among other things, a reclamation plan has been submitted to and approved by the lead agency for the operation. The act requires an operator, within 90 days of a surface mining operation becoming idle, to submit to the lead agency for review and approval, an interim management plan. The act defines idle to mean a curtailment for a period of one year or more of surface mining operations by more than 90% of the operation's previous maximum annual mineral production, with the intent to resume those surface mining operations at a future date.
