Abstract:
Regulatory
requirements of Surface mining Control and Reclamation Act (SMCRA)
were
compared with those of Corps of Engineers (COE) Section 404 Program to
determine
if gaps existed. Analysis addressed
general policies for evaluating
permit
applications contained in COE regulations (320.4) and determined the
extent
to which these were met by SMCRA requirements.
Also considered were
permitting
processes of each program and their provisions for inspection and
enforcement. Relatively few areas were found where SMCRA
did not fully or
adequately
meet Section 404 regulatory requirements.
The principal differences
are
identified (see Figure A).

Abstract:
Corps
of Engineers (COE) public interest review for Sec. 10 permits for coal
dredging
can be broad enough to include permit conditions that satisfy SMCRA.
Special
conditions were developed by COE Huntington District where a vast
majority
of dredging operations exist.
Conditions were designed to meet
environmental,
navigational, and related needs identified in that area and
developed
to minimize the impact on the environment appear based on best
professional
judgment rather than long-term technology assessment of impact.
Conditions
represent balancing of public interest for dredging and satisfy SMCRA
requirements.
