Section NR 135.59 - Duration and renewal of registration

Universal Citation: WI Admin Code ยง NR 135.59

Current through August 26, 2024

(1) Registration of land containing a marketable nonmetallic mineral deposit expires 10 years after the date registration is recorded unless renewed according to this section.

(2) A landowner may not renew registration of land containing a marketable nonmetallic mineral deposit if the deposit has been commercially depleted.

(3)

(a) A landowner may renew registration of land containing a marketable nonmetallic mineral deposit upon which mining has not yet taken place for one additional 10-year term without a new determination of marketability by notifying the zoning authority and recording a deed notice renewing registration with the county registrar of deeds. Renewal of registration shall be recorded at least 10 days and no more than one year before registration expires. A zoning authority may object to this one-time renewal according to the procedures of s. NR 135.58, but only on the grounds that there is no longer a marketable nonmetallic mineral deposit. Once this one-time renewal of registration has expired, the landowner may register land containing the deposit again in accordance with this subchapter.

(b) A landowner may not submit a notice of intent to register land containing a nonmetallic mineral deposit more than one year before the expiration of current registration.

(4) Notwithstanding sub. (3), a person may continue to renew registration in accordance with this section of land on which nonmetallic mining is taking place for an unlimited number of 10-year periods, so long as active mining is taking place on any portion of the registered land.

(5) Registration of land containing a marketable nonmetallic mineral deposit may not be rescinded by the county in which it is located, or by the landowner or his or her successors or assigns except by expiration in accordance with this section or by termination pursuant to s. NR 135.61.
