SMCRA requires that companies obtain permits before surface mining. Permit applications allow the government to determine whether the mine and set requirements in the permit will help the environment. SMCRA requires that companies post a bond sufficient to cover the cost of reclaiming the site.
Some components of reclamation include practices that control erosion and sedimentation, stablize slopes, and avoid and repair impacts to wildlife habitat. The final step is usually topsoil replacement and revegetation with suitable plant species.
Mineral prospecting and placer mining activities in or near water qualify as hydraulic projects and require a permit (Chapter 77.55 RCW). The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) regulates some of these activities through the Gold and Fish pamphlet.
SMCRA requires that mining companies post a bond sufficient to cover the cost of reclaiming the site. This is meant to ensure that the mining site will be reclaimed even if the company goes out of business or fails to clean up the land for some other reason.
SMARA 2770(a) states: No person shall conduct surface mining operation unless a permit is obtained from, a reclamation plan has been submitted to and approved by, and financial assurances for reclamation have been approved by, the lead agency for the operation
