    NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

    Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

    Section 40-8-6 provides authority to the Board of Oil, Gas and Mining to enact rules that are reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes of the Utah Mined Land Reclamation Act. This rule reflects the state requirements involving mineral operations for large mines. Section 40-8-13 provides authority for the filing of a Notice of Intention, Section 40-8-14 provides authority for a surety, Section 40-8-12.5 provides authority to require reclamation by operators, and Section 40-8-21 provides authority pertaining to suspension or termination of operations.

    Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

    No written comments have been received.

    Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

    This rule establishes requirements for large mineral mines and should be continued to ensure that operation of Utah's large mineral mines, over ten acres of disturbed area, occurs with the proper protection to the public, and providing for subsequent use of the lands affected.
