§ 3.25.
Timing of Reclamation. (a) Reclamation efforts on all land that is disturbed by surface mining operations shall proceed in an environmentally sound manner and as contemporaneously as practicable with the surface mining operations. The Department shall by rule establish time schedules for reclamation, which rules shall be no less stringent than the Regulations. (b) When extension of the reclamation period is necessary to allow continued mining operations and to accomplish acceptable reclamation, such extension shall be made until a date certain at the discretion of the Department. The Department shall not deny a reasonable extension when the operator shows that acts of God, strikes, inability to receive ordered equipment or extended periods of unreasonable and unexpected weather have made completion within the time limits impossible.
