I. Background on the Virginia Program
Section 503(a) of the Act permits a
State to assume primacy for the
regulation of surface coal mining and
reclamation operations on non-Federal
and non-Indian lands within its borders
by demonstrating that its program
includes, among other things, ‘‘* * * a
State law which provides for the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:55 Jul 03, 2007
Jkt 211001
regulation of surface coal mining and
reclamation operations in accordance
with the requirements of the Act * * *;
and rules and regulations consistent
with regulations issued by the Secretary
pursuant to the Act.’’ See 30 U.S.C.
1253(a)(1) and (7). On the basis of these
criteria, the Secretary of the Interior
conditionally approved the Virginia
program on December 15, 1981. You can
find background information on the
Virginia program, including the
Secretary’s findings, the disposition of
comments, and conditions of approval
of the Virginia program in the December
15, 1981, Federal Register (46 FR
61088). You can also find later actions
concerning Virginia’s program and
program amendments at 30 CFR 946.12,
946.13, and 946.15.
II. Description of the Proposed
Amendment
By letter dated February 13, 2007
(Administrative Record Number VA–
1059), the Virginia Department of
Mines, Minerals and Energy (DMME)
submitted an amendment to the Virginia
program. In its letter, the DMME stated
that the program amendment reflects
revisions of the Virginia Coal Surface
Mining Reclamation Regulations
concerning the distribution of topsoil
and subsoil materials, revegetation
standards for success, and to allow
approval of natural stream restoration
channel design, as developed in
consultation with the Army Corps of
Engineers.
We announced receipt of the
proposed amendment in the April 9,
2007, Federal Register (72 FR 17452).
By electronic mail dated April 18,
2007, (Administrative Record Number
VA–1074), the DMME stated that it
wished to withdraw the changes it
previously made to 4 VAC 25–130–
816.116(a)(2) and 816.117(a)(2) due to
an error. The amendments are to occur
at sections 4 VAC 25–130–
816.116(b)(3)(v)(C) and
817.116(b)(3)(v)(C) by changing its
success standard for areas planted with
a mixture of herbaceous and woody
species from 90% to 80%.
In its initial amendment to 4 VAC 25–
130–816.116/817(b)(3)(v)(C), Virginia
deleted its ‘‘90%’’ success standard for
areas planted with a mixture of
herbaceous and woody species and
replaced it with a ‘‘70%’’ success
standard for areas planted with a
mixture of herbaceous and woody
species.
With this new amendment, 4 VAC
25–130–816/817.116(b)(3)(v)(C)
provides as follows:
Areas planted with a mixture of
herbaceous and woody species shall sustain
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702

a herbaceous vegetative ground cover of 80%
and an average of 400 woody plants per acre.
At least 40 of the woody plants for each acre
shall be wildlife food-producing shrubs
located suitably for wildlife enhancement,
which may be distributed or clustered on the
area.
III. Public Comment Procedures
Under the provisions of 30 CFR
732.17(h), we are seeking your
comments on whether the amendment
satisfies the applicable program
approval criteria of 30 CFR 732.15. If we
approve the amendment, it will become
part of the Virginia program.

ACTION: Notice of intent to partially
delete the Uravan Superfund Site from
the National Priorities List.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) Region 8 is issuing a
notice of intent to partially delete
approximately 7 acres within the
Uravan Superfund Site, located in
Montrose County, Colorado, from the
National Priorities List (NPL) and
requests public comments on this notice
of intent. Specifically, EPA intends to
delete a one mile section of Colorado
State Highway 141, comprised of a
right-of-way up to 60 feet in width
between mile posts 75 and 76.
The NPL, promulgated pursuant to
section 105 of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is found
at Appendix B of 40 CFR part 300,
which is the National Oil and
Hazardous Substances Pollution
Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and
the State of Colorado, through the
Colorado Department of Public Health
and Environment, have determined that
all appropriate response actions under
CERCLA, have been completed for the
7.27 acres. However, this deletion does
not preclude future actions under
Superfund.
Comments concerning the
proposed partial deletion of this Site
must be received by August 6, 2007.

regulation of surface coal mining and reclamation operations on non-
Federal and non-Indian lands within its borders by demonstrating that
its program includes, among other things, ``* * * a State law which
provides for the regulation of surface coal mining and reclamation
operations in accordance with the requirements of the Act * * *; and
rules and regulations consistent with regulations issued by the
Secretary pursuant to the Act.'' See 30 U.S.C. 1253(a)(1) and (7). On
the basis of these criteria, the Secretary of the Interior
conditionally approved the Virginia program on December 15, 1981. You
can find background information on the Virginia program, including the
Secretary's findings, the disposition of comments, and conditions of
approval of the Virginia program in the December 15, 1981, Federal
Register (46 FR 61088). You can also find later actions concerning
Virginia's program and program amendments at 30 CFR 946.12, 946.13, and
946.15.
II. Description of the Proposed Amendment
By letter dated February 13, 2007 (Administrative Record Number VA-
1059), the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy (DMME)
submitted an amendment to the Virginia program. In its letter, the DMME
stated that the program amendment reflects revisions of the Virginia
Coal Surface Mining Reclamation Regulations concerning the distribution
of topsoil and subsoil materials, revegetation standards for success,
and to allow approval of natural stream restoration channel design, as
developed in consultation with the Army Corps of Engineers.
We announced receipt of the proposed amendment in the April 9,
2007, Federal Register (72 FR 17452).
By electronic mail dated April 18, 2007, (Administrative Record
Number VA-1074), the DMME stated that it wished to withdraw the changes
it previously made to 4 VAC 25-130-816.116(a)(2) and 816.117(a)(2) due
to an error. The amendments are to occur at sections 4 VAC 25-130-
816.116(b)(3)(v)(C) and 817.116(b)(3)(v)(C) by changing its success
standard for areas planted with a mixture of herbaceous and woody
species from 90% to 80%.
In its initial amendment to 4 VAC 25-130-816.116/817(b)(3)(v)(C),
Virginia deleted its ``90%'' success standard for areas planted with a
mixture of herbaceous and woody species and replaced it with a ``70%''
success standard for areas planted with a mixture of herbaceous and
woody species.
With this new amendment, 4 VAC 25-130-816/817.116(b)(3)(v)(C)
provides as follows:
Areas planted with a mixture of herbaceous and woody species
shall sustain a herbaceous vegetative ground cover of 80% and an
average of 400 woody plants per acre. At least 40 of the woody
plants for each acre shall be wildlife food-producing shrubs located
suitably for wildlife enhancement, which may be distributed or
clustered on the area.
III. Public Comment Procedures
Under the provisions of 30 CFR 732.17(h), we are seeking your
comments on whether the amendment satisfies the applicable program
approval criteria of 30 CFR 732.15. If we approve the amendment, it
will become part of the Virginia program.
Written Comments
