Abstract

This chapter of the Indiana Code concerns general coal mine permits. The chapter provides that the department of environmental management of Indiana shall establish a general coal mine permit that may be obtained for a facility instead of obtaining another more specialized National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System coal mine permit. The department shall determine the criteria that must be met to qualify for the general permit. The general permit established under this chapter must allow a coal mine operator the option of submitting a notice of intent to be governed by the general permit requirements before the requirements apply to the coal mine operator.
