§ 20.30B.010. Purpose.

Latest version.

This chapter establishes the requirements and procedures for a mineral extraction site to receive designation as mineral resource lands of long-term commercial significance. The requirements and procedures are designed to conserve long-term commercially significant mineral lands and to minimize land use conflicts by allowing designation status only where a long-term mining operation would be compatible with surrounding land uses and by providing notification to surrounding property owners of the long-term nature of a designated mining operation. This chapter also provides increased protection to designated mineral extraction operations by limiting nuisance claims from neighboring property owners. Sites must be designated under this chapter before new mineral extraction activities may occur.
