Public Notice: Notice of Intent to Adopt Rules - Environmental Quality Council, Coal Chapter 12, Docket #25-4101

*The Wyoming Environmental Quality Council*

*Notice of Intent to Adopt Rules*

The Wyoming Environmental Quality Council will consider proposed revisions to the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, Land Quality Division (LQD) Coal Rules Chapter 12 – Procedures Applicable to Surface Coal Mining Operations at a hearing to be held at 1:00 p.m. (MST) on September 17, 2025, at the Eastern Wyoming College, Board Room, 3200 West C Street, Torrington, Wyoming 82240. Individuals interested in attending remotely or wish to use a digital presentation may contact Joe Girardin at (307) 777-7710 or [email protected] at least three days prior to the hearing. The proposed revisions to LQD Coal Chapter 12 were drafted as a state initiative and are intended to recognize a specific type of reclamation bond estimate adjustment that would not be considered a bond release request. The LQD is proposing to allow for a bond reduction request based on a decrease in the volume of material required to reclaim the final cut, pit, or void created at a surface mining operation.

The proposed rules in Docket # 25-4101 meet minimum substantive state statutory requirements per Wyoming Statute (W.S.) § 16-3-103(a)(i)(G). Individuals with questions regarding the rulemaking may contact Craig Hults at (307) 777-7066 or [email protected]. Additional information is available at [link removed], under Docket 25-4101, or may be inspected in person at the mailing address below. Beginning at 8:00 a.m. (MST) on August 1, 2025 and ending at 5:00 p.m. (MST) on September 15, 2025 written comments may be submitted via mail to: Administrator, Land Quality Division, 200 West 17th Street, Suite 10, Cheyenne, Wyoming 82002; or submitted through and accepted electronically at [link removed].
