45-6B-89. Large-scale surface gold or silver mines in Black Hills--Legislative findings. Pursuant to § 45-6B-82, a cumulative evaluation of the impacts of large-scale surface gold or silver mines in the Black Hills has been conducted and reviewed by a committee of citizens representing a cross section of interests attentive to issues relating to mining in the Black Hills. The study and the committee have recommended that certain controls be placed on the number of acres affected by large-scale mining in the Black Hills. The study and committee have further recommended that more extensive requirements are necessary for closure and postclosure, reclamation assurances, yearly activity and compliance reporting, critical resources and financial assurances for remediating accidental releases.
The Legislature finds it to be in the public interest and the public policy of the State of South Dakota that the findings of the study and committee be implemented in law.
