  • Financial guarantees required for exploration and mining under the 1872 Mining Law

Description

Mineral exploration and extraction activities that disturb the surface of the land, such as hardrock mining, are subject to surface management regulations (43 CFR 3809). For any activity beyond casual use, as defined in the regulations, you are required to file a notice of your operation or a plan of operations with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). You, or your designated operator, are also responsible for reclamation of any land that you disturb, for which you must submit a cost estimate and a financial guarantee. This pamphlet lists frequently asked questions about reclamation regulations and contractual documents commonly referred to as bonds.
