Purpose of These Rules

(1)

These rules implement ORS 517.750 (Definitions for ORS 517.702 to 517.989) to 517.951 (Legislative intent not to assume exclusive jurisdiction), 517.990 (Criminal penalties), and 517.992 (Civil penalties) with respect to placer mines, coal mines and metal mines using only gravity separation. These rules do not apply to aggregate mines.

(2)

Applicants seeking operating permits from the Department should be aware that other state, federal and local agencies may require the applicant to obtain approval prior to operation. For example, the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) may require air contaminant discharge permits, wastewater discharge permits, and solid waste management permits. Where feasible the Department shall coordinate with other agencies to avoid duplication on the part of applicants. An operating permit from the Department does not constitute authorization to proceed without approval of other agencies if required. It is the applicant’s responsibility to obtain other necessary permits.
