Rule 20.03.01 - RULES GOVERNING DREDGE AND PLACER MINING OPERATIONS IN IDAHO
Section 20.03.01.026 - DEVIATION FROM AN APPROVED PERMIT
Current through August 31, 2023
01. Unforeseen Events. If a Permittee finds that unforeseen events or unexpected conditions require immediate deviation from an approved permit, the Permittee may continue mining in accord with the procedures dictated by the changed conditions, pending submission and approval of an amended permit, even though such operations do not comply with the current approved permit. This does not excuse the Permittee from complying with the BMPs and reclamation requirements of Sections 020 and 040. (3-18-22)
02. Notification. Notification of such unforeseen events must be given to the department within forty eight (48) hours after discovery, and an application to amend the permit must be submitted within thirty (30) days of deviation from the approved permit by the Permittee. (3-18-22)
