Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to mining permits
Purpose
To lengthen the time allotted for local governments to provide comment on a mining permit application.
Existing law
Section 23-2711 of the Environmental Conservation Law presently allows a local government thirty days to respond to the Department of Environmental Conservation after receipt of notification of a mining permit application for both major and minor projects.
Justification
When a mining application is received, there are a number of items to be reviewed regarding the effect of the proposed mining. Local governments have expressed concern that 30 days does not allow the municipality enough time to review the project and hear local concerns regarding the proposed mining.
