Ch.
NR 132 - Regulation of metallic mineral mining.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
Typically, companies involved in metallic mineral mining projects in Wisconsin have been large corporations. Given the cost intensive nature of mineral exploration and development activities, permitting and regulatory compliance, and project construction, it is unlikely that any small business would be capable of successfully developing a mining project in Wisconsin.
Summary of Comments by Legislative Review Committees:
The proposed rules were reviewed by the Assembly Environment Committee and the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Environmental Resources. On December 9, 1997, the Senate Committee held a public hearing. As a result of that hearing, the Committee requested modifications to s.
NR 132.085(5) to establish a minimum level of funding of a trust fund to be $2 per ton of mining waste disposed of or backfilled in the mining operation and specifying in s.
NR 132.085(5)(b) a standard for identifying worst case preventive or remedial measures that better protects public health and welfare and the environment.
At its January, 1999 meeting the Natural Resources Board modified the order to include the concept of a minimum amount of a trust fund. While a specific standard for identifying worst case measures was not incorporated, the pertinent provision of the rule was revised to clarify the manner in which costs and the level of funding will be considered.
