Bill	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.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20112012	SB 108	California SB 108 (20112012)	bill	Surface mining: idle mines.	enacted	Rubio	8	30	8	2011-01-13	2011-10-06	openstates	ocd-bill/bb7a020a-f4a2-4647-a00b-f1f82c5c2667	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201120120SB108	5d2c814dc31f382c51b9341b1bff9c1b75885bcf0ca2174c9231ede3893916bf	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
