Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 12, March 22, 2024
a) During the term of a permit, the permittee may submit an application to the Department for a revision of the permit. The application may be made on the standard Department permit form; however, only those sections of the form that pertain to the revision in question must be completed.
b) Application Requirements and Procedures
c) No application for a permit revision shall be approved unless the application demonstrates and the Department finds that reclamation as required by the Act and the regulatory program can be accomplished, applicable requirements under 62 Ill. Adm. Code 1773.15(c) that are pertinent to the revision are met, and the application for a revision complies with all requirements of the Act and the regulatory program.
d) Extensions of the permit area, except for incidental boundary revisions, shall be made by application for a new permit, and shall not be approved under this Part. Extensions of the shadow area, except for incidental boundary revisions, shall be made and approved pursuant to the requirements of this Part. Application for incidental boundary revisions shall be made pursuant to subsection (a). Incidental boundary revisions are those that:
Original Permit Acres |
Maximum Size of Boundary Changes Acres |
Up to 10 |
1 |
Up to 25 |
2.5 |
Up to 50 |
5 |
Up to 75 |
7.5 |
Up to 100 |
10 |
Over 100 |
20 |
The maximum size for acreage additions to approved non-contiguous incidental boundary revision areas, as described in subsection (d)(2), shall be based upon the original boundary revision acreage, not the original permit acreage;
e) A determination as to what constitutes a significant departure shall be made by the Department in consultation with the permittee. Changes that do not alter the final reclamation or mining plan are considered minor and do not require permit revision. However, any request for the changes shall be included in a written request to the Department.
