15.81.150 Idle Mines

1. Within 90 days of a surface mining operation becoming idle, the operator shall submit to the department of planning authority for review and approval, an interim management plan. The review and approval of an interim management plan shall not be considered a project within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act.

2. The approved interim management plan shall be considered an amendment to the surface mining operation’s approved reclamation plan, for purposes of this chapter. The interim management plan shall provide measures the operator will implement to maintain the site in compliance with this chapter, including, but not limited to, all permit conditions.

3. Prior to county approval, interim management plans shall be submitted for review to the Department of Conservation for a 45-day review period.

4. The director may approve an interim management plan without a public notice or public hearing if the director determines that the interim management plan does not require significant changes to the reclamation plan. The decision of the director shall be appealable to the planning commission within five calendar days of the decision. The decision of the planning commission shall be appealable to the board of supervisors within five calendar days of the decision.

5. The interim management plan may remain in effect for a period not to exceed five years, at which time the director shall do one of the following:

6. Renew the interim management plan for another period not to exceed five years, if the director finds that the surface mining operator has complied fully with the interim management plan; 2. Require the surface mining operator to commence reclamation in accordance with its approved reclamation plan.

7. In any event, financial assurances required shall remain in effect during the period the surface mining operation is idle. If the surface mining operation is still idle after expiration of its interim management plan, the surface mining operation shall commence reclamation in accordance with its approved reclamation plan.

8. Within 60 days of the receipt of the interim management plan or a longer period mutually agreed upon by the county and the operator, the county shall review and approve the plan in accordance with this chapter and so notify the operator in writing of any deficiencies in the plan. The operator shall have thirty days, or a longer period mutually agreed upon by the operator and the county, to submit a revised plan.

If the director denies approval of the revised interim management plan, the operator may appeal the action to the planning commission which shall schedule a public hearing to be held within 45 days of the filing of the appeal or any longer period mutually agreed upon by the operator and the planning commission. The action of the planning commission may be appealed to the board of supervisors within 10 days of said action.

10. Unless review of an interim management plan is pending before the director, or an appeal is pending before the planning commission, a surface mining operation which remains idle for over one year after becoming idle as defined in this chapter without obtaining approval of an interim management plan shall be considered abandoned and the operator shall commence and complete reclamation in accordance with the approved reclamation plan. (Ord. 1183 § 2, 2006)

15.81.160 Financial Assurances

1. Financial assurances are required to secure performance of the reclamation plan approved for each surface mining operation to which this chapter applies and shall be sufficient to perform reclamation of lands remaining disturbed. Financial assurances determined to substantially meet these requirements shall be approved by the county for purposes of this chapter. Except as specified in Public Resources Code Section 2770(e) or (i), unless the operator has filed on or before January 1, 1994, an appeal pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 2770(e) with regard to non-approval of financial assurances, and that appeal is pending before the State Mining and Geology Board, the continuation of the surface mining operation is prohibited until financial assurances for reclamation are approved by the county.

2. The county shall require financial assurances of each surface mining operation to ensure reclamation is performed in accordance with the surface mining operation’s approved reclamation plan, as follows: 1. Financial assurances may take the form of surety bonds, irrevocable letters of credit, trust funds, or other forms of financial assurances specified by the State Mining and Geology Board pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 2773.1(e), which the county reasonably determines are adequate to perform reclamation in accordance with the surface mining operation’s approved reclamation plan.

   2. The financial assurances shall remain in effect for the duration of the surface mining operation and any additional period until reclamation is completed.

3. The amount of financial assurances required of a surface mining operation for any one year shall be adjusted annually to account for new lands disturbed by surface mining operations, inflation, and reclamation of lands accomplished in accordance with the approved reclamation plan.

   4. The financial assurances shall be made payable to the county and the Department of Conservation. Financial assurances that were approved by the county prior to January 1, 1993, and were made payable to the State Geologist shall be considered payable to the Department of Conservation for purposes of this chapter. However, if a surface mining operation has received approval of its financial assurances from a public agency other than the county, the county shall deem those financial assurances adequate for purposes of this section, or shall credit them toward fulfillment of the financial assurances required by this section, if they are made payable to the public agency, the county, and the Department of Conservation and otherwise meet the requirements of this section. In any event, if the county and one or more public agencies exercise jurisdiction over a surface mining operation, the total amount of financial assurances required by the county and the public agencies for any one year shall not exceed that amount which is necessary to perform reclamation of lands remaining disturbed. For purposes of this paragraph, a “public agency” may include a federal agency.

   5. Estimates for financial assurances shall include descriptions of the tasks to be performed, identification of equipment, labor and materials requirements, definition of units costs, total cost per task, total direct cost of reclamation, and administrative costs including costs of supervision, profit and overhead, contingencies and mobilization. Additional required information may include a site plan showing the present limits of the disturbed area to be reclaimed, and other information necessary to verify the estimate. In projecting the costs of financial assurances, it shall be assumed without prejudice or insinuation that the surface mining operation could be abandoned by the operator and, consequently, that the county or state may need to contract with a third-party commercial company for reclamation of the site.

   6. Financial assurances determined not to substantially meet the requirements of Public Resources Code Section 2773.1 shall be returned to the operator within 60 days. The operator has 60 days to revise the financial assurances to address identified deficiencies, at which time the revised financial assurances shall be returned to the county for review and approval.

   7. Prior to county approval, financial assurances shall be forwarded to the Department of Conservation pursuant to Section 15.81.180.

4. The decision to approve financial assurance estimates and mechanisms shall be made by the director. The financial assurance estimates shall be based on an approved reclamation plan. No public notice or public hearing is required. The decision to approve financial assurance estimates and mechanisms is not subject to CEQA. The director’s decision is appealable to the Planning Commission within 10 calendar days of the decision. The decision of the planning commission is appealable to the Board of Supervisors within 10 calendar days of the decision.

   6. Financial assurances shall no longer be required of a surface mining operation, and shall be released, upon written notification by the county, which shall be forwarded to the operator and the Director of the Department of Conservation, that reclamation has been completed in accordance with the approved reclamation plan. If a mining operation is sold or ownership is transferred to another person, the existing financial assurances shall remain in force and shall not be released by the county until new financial assurances are secured from the new owner and have been approved by the county in accordance with Section 2770.

   7. If the county, following a public hearing, determines that the operator is financially incapable of performing reclamation in accordance with its approved reclamation plan, or has abandoned its surface mining operation without commencing reclamation, the director shall do all of the following:

      1. Notify the operator by personal service or certified mail that the county intends to take appropriate action to forfeit the financial assurances and specify the reasons for so doing. 2. Allow the operator 60 days to commence or cause the commencement of reclamation in accordance with its approved reclamation plan and require that reclamation be completed within the time limits specified in the approved reclamation plan or some other time period mutually agreed upon by the county and the operator.

      2. Proceed to take appropriate action to require forfeiture of the financial assurances if the operator does not substantially comply with paragraph 2, above.

      3. Use the proceeds from the forfeited financial assurances to conduct and complete reclamation in accordance with the approved reclamation plan. In no event shall the financial assurances be used for any other purpose. The operator is responsible for the costs of conducting and completing reclamation in accordance with the approved reclamation plan which are in excess of the proceeds from the forfeited financial assurances. (Ord. 1183 § 2, 2006)

• 15.81.170 Annual Reports And Inspection 1. As a condition of approval of the permit and reclamation plan, a schedule for annual inspections of the site shall be established to evaluate continuing compliance with the permit and reclamation plan.

• 2. The planning authority shall conduct an inspection of a surface mining operation within six months of receipt by the planning authority of the surface mining operation’s report submitted pursuant to this chapter, solely to determine whether the surface mining operation is in compliance with this chapter. In no event shall the planning authority inspect a surface mining operation less than once in any calendar year.
• 3. All inspections shall be conducted using a form developed by the Department of Conservation and approved by the State Mining and Geology Board. The operator shall be solely responsible for the reasonable cost of the inspection.
• 4. The planning authority shall notify the Department of Conservation within thirty days of completion of the inspection that the inspection has been conducted. The notice shall contain a statement regarding the surface mine’s compliance with this chapter, shall include a copy of the completed inspection form, and shall specify which aspects of the surface mining operation, if any, are inconsistent with this chapter.
• 5. If the surface mining operation has an appeal pending in the case of a surface mining operator with vested rights, a review of existing financial assurances pending, or an appeal pending, the notice shall so indicate.
• 6. The planning authority shall forward to the operator a copy of the notice and any supporting documentation, including, without limitation, any inspection report prepared by the geologist, civil engineer, landscape architect, or forester. (Ord. 1183 § 2, 2006)

• 15.81.180 State Review
