Frequently Asked Questions
Questions and answers about Coal Permitting

Professional Engineers and Professional Land Surveyors - Must Be Licensed in Utah to Stamp Designs and Maps for Coal Mine Applications
There have been questions about using an out-of-state PE stamp to certify maps required for Utah coal mine applications. The professional licensing regulations, Title 58, Chapter 22 of the Utah Code Annotated [or Utah Code Ann. § 58-22 et.seq.], for professional engineers (PE) and professional land surveyors clarifies this question. The statute is clear, the PE must be licensed in the state of Utah. Pursuant to Utah Code Ann., § 58-22-305(1)(a)(ii)(B), the PE ”may not provide professional engineering, professional structural engineering, or professional land surveying services in the state until licensed in the state.” Further, section 58-22-602 states than “any final plan, map, sketch, survey, drawing, document, plat, and report shall bear the seal of the professional land surveyor licensed under this chapter when submitted to a client or when filed with public authorities.”

The Practical Guide to Reclamation in Utah
(right-click then select save-as to download)
The beginning of the new millennium marks 25 years of mining regulation in Utah. Since its start, reclamation of mined lands has been both 'trial and error' and heavily reliant upon application of existing technologies for restoring game range, or seeding after wildfire and other land disturbances. In this 25 years, hundreds of diverse mined land disturbances have been restored and reclaimed by mine operators and by agency effort cleaning up abandoned and bond-forfeited mines. At every site, some lesson was learned about how the next site could be done better. This manual represents an attempt to capture the very best methods which have been successful on the ground. The work, the successes, and the failures have all helped to write this guide. We hope you will find this collective learning experience of use in reclaiming your mine site.

Free Software from OSM
TIPS has added the Blast Log Evaluation Program to its website  for  free download (http://www.tips.osmre.gov/tips_html/downloads.asp).  This brings the number of programs available for download from the TIPS website to six, including the planimeter100 software for determining acreage from mine maps through your digitizer.  You may not be concerned about blasting and monitoring blasts, but if you know someone else in your office that is, please pass this information on to them.
