Ch. NR 135 - Nonmetallic mining reclamation.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
The new law and this rule impose compliance and reporting requirements on small businesses.There will be little or no difference in the compliance and reporting requirements imposed on small mine operators versus large mine operators. The rule will require that all operators submit a reclamation plan for approval by the regulatory authority. The need to obtain some form of financial assurance to guarantee performance of the reclamation activities detailed in their reclamation plan will be imposed on small operators and may prove more problematic than for larger operators.
The amount of fees will be partially dependent upon the size of the mining operation. All operations will need to pay fees on an annual basis and these fees will be based, in part, on the acreage affected and unreclaimed attendant to the current operation.

Summary of Comments by Legislative Review Committees:

On June 21, 2000, the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources held a public hearing. As a result of that hearing, the Committee requested that the rule be modified to remove Chetac and Birch Lakes, Sawyer and Washburn counties, from the provision that reduced the daily bag limit from 25 in total to 10 in total for panfish. The Committee also requested that a new provision setting a daily bag limit of 10 for bluegill on Chetac and Birch Lakes be included with the daily bag limit for panfish on those lakes.

Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
The proposed rule will not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small businesses. The limited waiver of the work search requirement may help small businesses in a labor market with a temporary layoff by a primary employer because the small businesses will be less likely to be inundated with job applications from UI claimants who expect to return to work with their former employer in a limited amount of time.
Summary of Comments of Legislative Standing Committees:
The department withdrew an amendment to s. DWD 129.04(2)(a)4 in response to concerns expressed by the Senate Labor Committee.
